What are folks doing for temperature? When we are on the boat, the question always comes up..."what is the temperature?"
I can get water temp via my Garmin 547xs, but not ambient temp.
I had a little digital thermometer but it was always reading high as it seemed to be in direct sunlight which would impact the reading.
I had a vision of adding an air temp sensor to my NMEA 2000 backbone and be able to see it on my Garmin (I could mount the sensor somewhere out of direct sunlight, but the only ones I've found are $250-$300(eeek)...I'll just ask my wife the temperature vs paying that. I could see paying $50ish, but that is about it.
Any other ideas?
