Title: Transferring Waypoints and Routes to iNavX via MacENC/NMEA data over TCP/IP
#1
While the easiest way to transfer waypoints and routes to iNavX is to use X-Traverse or email, there may be times when a live internet connection is not available.

1) Launch MacENC (v8.30 or later).

2) Select "TCP/IP" on the MacENC "GPS" menu.

3) Select "Connect" on the MacENC "GPS" menu to establish the connection with the GPS receiver. If no GPS receiver is available then select "Simulator".

4) On the TCP/IP NMEA Data window, enable the "Server" and check the "Transmit" check boxes. Uncheck "Processed".

5) Launch iNavX (v3.2.0 or later).

6) On the iNavX TCP/IP NMEA Client enter the host and port (as displayed in MacENC). Set "Enable Waypoints" to ON. Set "AIS Targets Only" to OFF. Set "AP Repeat" to OFF. Set "Link" to ON. Set "Location Services" to OFF. At this point there should be NMEA data displayed in monitor.

Steps 1..6 are illustrated ..

7) Return to MacENC and activate the waypoint or route (i.e. "Goto" button) in the respective "Waypoints" or "Routes" window. iNavX will immediately import the waypoint or route and begin navigation to it. Step 7 can be repeated for additional waypoints or routes.


Notes:

To select which route is plotted on the iNavX chart, select the blue disclosure button next to the route name in the iNavX "Routes" view. The selected Route will be shown in a bold font.

To cancel navigation to the waypoint or route. In MacENC on the Navigation panel select "Cancel Goto" button. Then in iNavX select "Cancel Goto" on the "Waypoints" view.
