Optional dependencies

signalk-autostate by @meri-imperiumi. Used to determine the vessel's state based on sensor values, and updates the navigation.state value accordingly.

The signalk-derived-data and signalk-path-mapper plugins are both useful to remap available data to the required canonical paths.
