We have a yacht for a customer that have installed Raymarine E-serie equipment. Since last week we have manged ourselves to build in a mac mini working on Windows 7. On this computer we have installed Raymarine RNS 6.2. The computer is attached to the network by a LAN cable. Everything is working nice.

For our INAVX program on the IPAD we need the data from the Raymarine equipment. We want to use INAVX instead of Navionics because we want to see our speed, wind, AIS etc. INAVX can work with a WiFi. Now we have set up a ad-hoc network from the Macmini.

We can attach the IPAD to it. Now we only need to give the right information to INAVX. The information we need is the IP number and which port. The IP number is from the ad-hoc network so that is easy, but the port number is more a problem.

Which portnumber Raymarine is using for it's data when we have attached the data on the Macmini by a network cable.
For clarification: we have a Macmini working on windows 7 (bootcamp) with raymarine RNS 6.2 installed. The computer is connected with a networking cable to the onboard network (E 120 and digital radar). All information is displayed on the computer. Now we have set up a ad-hoc network from the computer to attach the IPAD by WiFi to the network. We only need to know on which port number Raymarine is sending it's data. For example internet is port 80 and bit torrent 8800.
Why is there a step by step manual for a lot of programs except for the Raymarine signal over the wifi without the multiplexer?

Hello Everyone, I have a great site that focuses on marine app reviews for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. I have even done a few reviews of some Android app too. There are a ton of marine apps, let me help sort through the good and the bad for you. Come check it out!

I wish I had the option to show all the instruments in Digital format rather than as speedometer looking gauges. The large segmented displays are what you normally see on yacht instruments. I prefer those rather than the automobile looking gauges you show. The compass is hard to read too. I would prefer to see digital readouts for course and heading. That would be a nice addition to what you already have
Thanks

Having a "scorched earth" mentality when sailing offshore, I would like to have a "hard" copy of a Routes waypoints. I can print the Lat/Lon for each waypoint, but not the Bearing and Distances. Any thoughts on how this might be done.

Thanks,

I have been using GPSNavX on a my boat computer, a G4 Macbook, for two years and have been very happy with it but would like to upgrade to MacENC. Will MacENC work on my G4 which runs on OS 10.5?

Thanks,

Gary

I have both navionics marine and InavX on my Iphone. Of course InavX is the one for actual sailing with instruments, AIS etc. but one major thing is missing!

In the navionics app, you have access to detailed info on chart items like marinas, lights, bridge clearances, tide stations and current diamonds.

I sure wish for this feature in InavX! This is ought to be basic functionality in any ENC program.

BRG/RNG to waypoint in view would also be nice ...

:p I am happy to report that
I now have GPSNavX, Version 6.0
running on my Macbook.
It took me about 20 hours and
much help from GPSNavX and Apple.

The help button in the application is good,
but the instructions for downloading GRIB
files are completely incomprehensible to
this beginner.

I opened a web page that looks official. GRIB.us
or something like that, and I registered. They ask me to select an area on their chart. Since GPSNavX says that the area desired is the chart that is open in GPSNavX, I am not sure that
this is right. I tried to download something and
found that GPSNavX opened up, but nothing could be downloaded. I tell you all this to make it easier to help. Many thanks for continued assistance, Christian

The iPad 2 supports display mirroring, as such iNavX can be shown simultaneously on the iPad 2 screen and on an external monitor (SVGA, HDMI, Component or Composite).

I purchased an iPad and Navionics thinking I would use it as a chartplotter. Then I discovered that it would only operate north up and not orient Heads up when I turned. I contacted Navionics to question this and they replied with a long disclaimer that iPads were not intended to replace chart plotters and should not be relied upon. So I came up with a poor man's solution. I locked the screen to prevent any rotation and then merely turned the iPad by hand whenever the boat was turned thus keeping the screen icon pointing in the direction of travel. There is less turning than you think on most trips.

However, I am thinking about getting inavx. Will it rotate heads up on it's own? Also I read here that Navionics now has a fix for the problem. Anyone know about this?
