NAVSTAR gps antenna

[johnmwalsh]

Hello everyone! I have an old NAVSTAR gps with an antenna with a coax connection, is there a way to use this antenna with a raspberry pi with a Marine Control Server. So type of adapter or do I need to get a puck for gps or a Maiana antenna for gps and AIS? Thank you!!!

You would need a USB, NMEA0183, NMEA2000 or Seatalk1 output to interface with the Raspberry Pi. If you haven't got that, it is probably easier to get a Puck or Maiana - I have both, I think the Maiana GPS is better, but in my case, also has a better view of the sky.
