Hello:
I recently installed a Simrad NX40 and would like to exchange data wirelessly between it and my Mac using MacENC and/or possibly my iPhone. I've seen NMEA Bluetooth multiplexers but I wonder if this could be done cheaply using a simple RS-232 connection and an adapter such as this. I know MacENC supports connections through serial port as wells as Bluetooth enabled GPS; however, I don't know if these adapters show up as a simple com port on the Mac and, if not, if MacENC will connect to these. Has anybody tried this? Any input would be highly appreciated.
Later,
Camuyano
