I am using MacENC for some weeks. Looking to the beacon function, this feature is just timely sending an email in a specific format containing the last position to a contact. Is there a way to send the position report directly to the Winlink system ? It would be great, no ? (the idea is to permit our contact to directly look the position on a map) Regards. Laurent

Please elaborate. The MacENC Position Transponder will send the position report to any email(s) which can be a Winlink email address. MacENC uses the OS X mail application to send emails. The only way I know that MacENC (OS Mail App) can communicate with a Pactor modem or Sat Phone is with GMN XGate

In fact, my basic issue is:
How is it possible for an "idiot" user of internet to plot the position of the boat on a map when receiving an mail by the MacENC beacon feature ?

Some systems like Winlink ( in my case http://www.winlink.org/dotnet/maps/Posit...sign=F1LNX ) for Ham using Airmail or Yotreps permit to plot directly but I understand that Yopreps needs a specific format described here ( http://www.pangolin.co.nz/yotreps/submit...eports.php ).

The idea is why not to generate directly inside MacENC the right format in order to plot directly on a map ?

Best regards.
Laurent.

Just to precise my previous mail,

1) the Maptech server does not give, in my case, the precise plot but just a general map:

2) winlink or google earth (why not ?) are cleaner (no ads) and probably more user friendly for a basic user.
