UBlox Max-M8W-0-10 Questions

[Gandalf_Sr]

1. Updating firmware
I have a Max-M8W-0-10 system and I'm connected to it via U-Center but I can't find where in U-Center I can find out what the current version is on the module if I go Receiver > Action > Get Information, where does the result get stored or displayed?

2. It seems that the Max-M8W-0-10 can "talk" in NMEA so can anyone:
a. point me to documentation as to how I can get the module to output NMEA messages
b. a way to connect a CAN bus hardware adapter (after all NMEA2000 is just CAN isn't it?)

Thanks in advance.
