I do all planning in MacENC but prefer to use my RayMarine to control the autopilot since it only uses about 0.5A instead of the higher current load of my Mac and inverter. But I have a large number of waypoints in many different folders - each representing a different sailing region. I wanted my RayMarine to be organized the same as MacENC.
1. Create waypoint groups on the RayMarine.
2. For each waypoint group, set it to be the default to receive the waypoints from MacENC. (Alternately they will be received into "My Waypoints" default and you have to transfer them to the appropriate group after receiving.)
3. Select the matching folder in MacENC and transfer to GPS.
This was made practical by a new version of MacENC which turns off gps formatting on output (the previous version truncated to six characters). Thanks MacENC!
