Module to read .sl2 files, generated by Lowrance chart plotters as a stream.

For any more information regarding HOW the information is encoded in the file I would from here on like to redirect to the https://github.com/opensounder/sounder-log-formats repo.

#I/O Input from for example file stream for an .sl2 file Outputs block objects looking something like this.
