GPSNavX and MacENC won't display the radar trace (the raw image data from the radar), and therefore won't do away with the requirement for a dedicated radar display. However, if your radar supports MARPA, then any targets you select on the display will be displayed on the chart in MacENC / GPSNavX in a similar fashion to AIS targets, via NMEA.

There are some some chart-plotters and PC software apps which do support direct attached radar radomes; using RadarPC devices by Japanese manufacturer Koden. These are frequently rebranded by Nobeltec et al.

Never knowingly overcanvassed!
