Steps
Confirm no public API or plugin SDK is published for Coastal Explorer before designing an integration; access is fundamentally hardware-level, not software-level
Configure a Data Port (serial/USB/network) in Coastal Explorer for the connected instrument or AIS transponder
Present standard NMEA 0183 sentences or NMEA 2000 PGNs on that port so Coastal Explorer's auto-detection and parsing can consume them, matching the pattern used by supported third-party hardware (e.g. Digital Yacht iKommunicate, Vesper AIS units)
Use standard file interchange formats such as GPX for waypoint/route data exchange with other navigation software rather than expecting a proprietary API
For anything beyond standard NMEA/GPX integration, contact Rose Point support directly, since no public developer portal is indexed
Known gotchas
Treat any claimed 'Coastal Explorer API' as unverified; no public API or SDK could be confirmed in official documentation
Third parties integrate by being a compliant NMEA device on the configured data port, not by calling into the software itself
A proprietary internal file format for waypoints/routes may exist but is not documented publicly; do not assume its structure without a spec from Rose Point
