Some chart plotters and other navigation tools are able to log water depths in a native way.
Some chart plotters have a built in SD-chart-slot and writes the data direcly to the SD-chart,
others uses an USB-, LAN- or WLAN-interface and can be connected diretl to a Laptop.
It is crucial that the output data includes at least the GPS position, the GPS time and date, and the water depth.
For all other plotters:
- NMEA-2000
For NMEA-2000 plotters or Seatalk-NG plotters you can use the 2K-Logger.
- NMEA-0183, Seatalk-01
For all Plotter with NMEA-0183-interface or for all Seatalk-01 plotters you can use the OpenSeaMap 2-channal Logger.
Alternatively you can connect the logger directly to a sounder and a GPS.

OpenSeaMap 2k-Logger
The commercial 2k-Hardware-Logger you can get in two versons at Busse-Yachtshop:
| NMEA-2000 | 189 € | order... |
| Seatalk-NG | 189 € | order... |
The small device looks lika an USB-charger for cars. Just connect it to your bus system.
A Micro-SD-chard stores your voyage data, about 200 days with 32 GB.
By software you can filter the data.
You can upload the depth data directly to our server at depth.OpenSeaMap.

OpenSeaMap-Hardware-Logger
Our Hardware-Logger you can order for 30 € (cost price).
This logger you can get in two types:
| 2 chanals with NMEA-0183 | 30 € | order... |
| chanal A with NMEA-0183 chanal B with Seatalk-01 incl. Seatalk-adapter |
50 € | order... |
The data will be stored to SD-chard.
Power 12 V, max. consumption about 150 mA.
Inside there is a Gyro.
By this we can detect waves and ship mouvements.
By an internal milli-second clock stamp the GPS- and sounder-data, co we can them connect exactly together.
