Title: Bluetooth GPS
#3
Hi,

I can see what Ken means here.
I used to use a Garmin GPS10 (still do in the car) as it's a self-contained bluetooth unit that has a magnetic base. In the car I just stick it on the roof.

Used to use it on the boat too, but it's a small unit and the antenna is too small to get a decent sat signal. As soon as the weather gets a bit stormy, with heavy clouds, the unit loses satellites and can't get a fix.

So I went to plugging the main Garmin 128 into the MacBook via a Keyspan USB/Serialport.
That is fine except, like Ken, I need to move the Macbook about.
So your idea of the Miniplex bluetooth multiplexer is great.

Ron
