Anyone tried this:

I do all planning in MacENC but prefer to use my RayMarine to control the autopilot since it only uses about 0.5A instead of the higher current load of my Mac and inverter. But I have a large number of waypoints in many different folders - each representing a different sailing region. I wanted my RayMarine to be organized the same as MacENC.

1. Create waypoint groups on the RayMarine.

2. For each waypoint group, set it to be the default to receive the waypoints from MacENC. (Alternately they will be received into "My Waypoints" default and you have to transfer them to the appropriate group after receiving.)

3. Select the matching folder in MacENC and transfer to GPS.

This was made practical by a new version of MacENC which turns off gps formatting on output (the previous version truncated to six characters). Thanks MacENC!

Hello,

Just bought GPSNavX for my Mac Book. I am looking for compatible BSB charts for the Mediterranean area.
Can anybody give me some advice where to buy?

Thanks!

I've had the MacENC for about a year. I also have the Keyspan USB software installed, and wired to my Raymarine RL70C GPS.

I cannot get the MacENC to connect. What are the steps/settings needed?

Thanks.

I am wondering if anyone has used the Wintec WBT-202 on a Mac successfully. I just purchased one and it works via Bluetooth very well on my PC, and not at all on my Macbook.

On the PC it receives and processes information via NMEA over BT. On the Mac it pairs and connects with the computer via Bluetooth, and that's where it ends. It cannot be set up as a serial device for some reason.

I don't know if it is just my unit, or if this is just the way that it is and that this can't be used on a Mac with MacENC.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

It is time to add an iPad category yet ????

Tried to get the old usb gps that you sold before the 353 to work with no luck. Downloaded a driver but am unsure if it was the right one. Can you go over the requirements, again? Might buy the newer gps if connection is simplified.

it would be nice if you used the two-finger tap gesture to mean zoom out as some other apps do.

I am trying to get ugrib files with a system MacBook-Parallels-WindowsXp-Ugrib without success. The Ugrib program seems to work properly but it gets hanging up when it is waiting for the ugrib file, that never arrives and then the conection is timed out. I have tryied hard but I can't find the solution.
Please some help and thank you in advance from Spain.
