Output AIS SOG & COG of other boat
I can get other boats data to display in Number Boxes.
Is there a way to get this information into an external channel so I can display this on the B&G H5000 system?

Yes, map that target boat to another boat ID, and then select that ID in the numberbox or for external channel

Re: Output AIS SOG & COG of other boat
I have the boat mapped to an ID and can map its SOG and COG to the number boxes, but cant see how to map it to an external channel (I can only select my own SOG and COG in Alternating or Channels?)
Any step by step would be appreciated

Which connection type are you using?
You go into the instrument settings, then custom, and select variable and boat ID (by default your own boat is ID 0)
This configuration sends the SOG of Boat 1 to External Channel 0.

Thankyou! I am using websocket.
A bit embarrassing really. I had looked at the pane where you assign SOG to a boat, but the column with 'Boat' was 'minimised' so I couldnt read it. Once you pointed it out - BINGO! Your screenshot made it obvious! LoL
Once again - many thanks!
