Some chart plotters and other navigation tools are able to log water depths in a native way.
In order to do this, some chart plotters have an integrated SD-chart-slot and write the data direcly to the SD-chart,
other plotters use an USB-, LAN-, or WLAN-interface and can be connected directly to a laptop.
It is crucial that the output data include 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 plotters with NMEA-0183-interface or for all Seatalk-01 plotters you can use the OpenSeaMap 2-channel logger.
Alternatively you can connect the logger directly to a sounder and a GPS device.

OpenSeaMap 2k-Logger
The commercial 2k-Hardware-logger are available in two versions from Busse-Yachtshop:
| NMEA-2000 | 189 € | order... |
| Seatalk-NG | 189 € | order... |
The small device looks lika an USB-charger for cars. You can simply connect it to your bus system.
A Micro-SD-card stores your voyage data for about 200 days with 32 GB.
The data can be filtered and analysed by software as you wish.
You can upload the depth data from your PC directly to our server at depth.OpenSeaMap.

OpenSeaMap NMEA-0183 Logger
You can order our hardware-logger for 30 € (cost price).
This logger is available in two versions:
| 2 channels with NMEA-0183 | 30 € | order... |
| channel A with NMEA-0183 channel B with Seatalk-01 incl. Seatalk-adapter |
50 € | order... |
The data will be stored on a SD-chard.
Power 12 V, max. consumption about 150 mA.
In addition, the device includes a Gyro and accelerometer.
With this we get an information about waves and ship movements.
The corresponding GPS- and sounder-data are stamped with an internal milli-second clock so that we can connect them correctly.
