Sorry , you're going beyond my scope of knowledge. I do know for certain that my Garmin is capable of NMEA output via USB.
On suggestion from the couple a few boats down, I setup my MacBook Pro as a dual boot with Windows XP. Running Fugawi works very well with it, and according to the manual a "GPS receiver with NMEA 0183 output or compatible USB GPS" is required. Mine works with this but not GPSNavX, no extra drivers necessary.
I'm still on the free 10 day trial but when faced with spending $250 for the software vs. $300-$500 for a new handheld I may have to stick with learning a few Windows things. Very nice two-way communication by the way.
Thanks again for all of your help.
