Vessel GPS + BR2 USBL GPS both displayed on map

Hello,

I have a SeaTrac USBL system which I have been able to send to QGroundControl using port 27000. How can I send my topside (vessel) GPS to QGroundControl so I have both GPS displaying on the map? Is there a second port I can use?
Additionally, will both GPS positions show up in the log files?

Cheers and thank you,
J

Hi!
Another way to plot ROV and vessel is using marine plotting programs.
These programs often also can create logs.
An example of using OpenCPN with BR and Waterlinked:

Hi @johannv ,

QGC is able to receive NMEA data for the topside position via serial or UDP, but as that is not mavlink, it doesn’t get logged.
