I am seeking some expertise in recommending the proper setup to connect Raymarine Seatalk devices to MacENC...here is the equipment I have installed on my Beneteau (all vintage about 2003/2004):
ST60 Tridata
Raystar 120 GPS Receiver
ST6001 Smartpilot
Pathfinder Radar
Today, all of this is brought together on an hsb2 Plus Series Color LCD Display, but would like MacENC to capture data realtime, and be able to transfer waypoints back and forth.
I've looked at the Miniplex 41 and 42 (BT preferred), but am not able to really understand what is the proper device to purchase...and what functionality to expect with either. Or, is there a better solution altogether?
Also, any tips/hints on installation/setup would be greatly appreciated. I'm only on my boat 4 or 5 times a summer, and minimizing the time and aggravation of setting something like this up would be a big bonus!
Thanks!
