gps in a 292?
#2
I have installed a Northstar Explorer 550i (with built-in GPS receiver) on top of the dashboard to the left of the compass. I also installed the fuel sensors (Northstar 550 also supports Smartcraft gateway for Smartcraft engines) for complete fuel management. There used to be GPS in that location from a previous owner so I decided to use the same location for the new GPS.
I am very happy with it.

I plan to take some dash pictures this weekend of my new Aria wheel and will post how the GPS looks installed.

Does the 550i support all the Smartcraft functions? Will it show rpm, engine hours, etc? Sounds pretty sweet.

But I looked at the operation manual for the Northstar 550i and it says: Smartcraft engine functions require a Smartcraft system to be installed. For information on using SmartCraft see the "SmartCraft Gateway Installation and Operation Manual".
In the back of the manual it says a little about installation of a SmartCraft gateway and it says that it enables "display of engine data and trim and can control troll speed" and once again makes a reference to the "SmartCraft Gateway Installation and Operation Manual".
I guess you would need to check with a dealer and ask what is supported or may be somebody else here on OSO knows.
Alternatively call Northstar there is a phone number if you click on "SMARTCRAFT FLYER" in the bottom of this page: http://www.northstarcmc.com/html/pro...martcraft.html
