Best Answer over the internet :"The OP will need a nmea to PC (serial or usb) multiplexer / interface. Shipmodul (http://www.shipmodul.com/en/index.html) do one for around £80 - the Miniplexlite, which has 3 inputs and input 3 can be configured to receive AIS data. PC connection is via USB.
Polarnavy's (http://www.polarnavy.com/) Polarview chart plotter software -£70 inc all UK vector charts (AVCS) can transmit nmea waypoint data but its 'experimental' to avoid any liability if you run aground/collide.
You can transmit anything over nmea - the sending and receiving devices simply need to use the same proprietary commands. For example, the aforementioned Shipmodul multiplexer is configured from the pc using Shipmoduls unique commands.
Normally the plotter will just instruct the AP by sending the next waypoint but you can often download or upload routes from PC to plotter over nmea.
Navmonpc has a useful AIS display as well as instruments, though Polarnavy's Polarcom instruments are better looking and user configurable as well as resizeable."
