I met this morning with the yard to talk about our direction regarding upgrading our electronics. We are planning on going with MacENC on a new MacBook. A couple of questions came up for which I was not sure of the answer.
From what I can tell, MacENC supports NMEA 0183 at this time. What plans are there to move to 2000?
If connected to an NMEA radar, will I be able to overlay the entire radar image onto the chart or just the AIS target info? Also, are only specific radar brands supported, or any unit that supports NMEA?
As I'm currently on a older 450MHz G4 machine with only 384Mb of RAM, I have only tried to demo GPSNavX so far, and it is, understandably, slow. I suspect the MacENC demo would severely tax my current system, if it would run at all, so I have not tried it.
Thanks
