The main reason iNavX does not send NMEA data out over WiFi to MacENC is it would require the iPhone to be running iNavX full time as iPhone OS does not allow third party apps to run in the background like the Apple apps (mail, phone, iPod, Safari).

So as soon as iNavX was exited, the NMEA data would stop. MacENC would complain. Battery life also would be greatly diminished. With USB GPS being so cheap it just doesn't make a lot of sense using the iPhone as a GPS or 3GS compass for a Mac.
