+---- Thread: Using iPhone GPS with MacENC (/thread-1432.html)
- GPSNavX - April 25, 2011
The iPhone app "GPS 2 IP" linked here ..
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gps-2-ip/id408625926?mt=8
Allows the iPhone GPS to be used as the GPS receiver for MacENC.
Setup:
1) Launch GPS 2 IP on your iPhone
2) Set to "ON"
3) Launch MacENC
4) Select "TCP/IP" on the "GPS" menu
5) Enter the IP Address shown in GPS 2 IP in the MacENC TCP/IP NMEA Data Client Host (i.e. 10.0.1.8)
6) Enter the Port shown in GPS 2 IP in the MacENC TCP/IP NMEA Data Client Port (i.e. 11123)
7) Select "Enable" in the MacENC TCP/IP NMEA Data Client
8) If the connection is successful the circular indicator in MacENC TCP/IP NMEA Data Client will turn green AND the GPS 2 IP Connected clients will list your Macs IP address (i.e. 10.0.1.6)
9) To see the lat/lon/sog/cog select "Connect" on the MacENC "GPS" menu. Set the Type to IP Only in the GPS panel Settings drawer.
GPS 2 IP has the option to run in the background. This is selected in the GPS 2 IP "Settings".
Note: While this is a solution, we still prefer a USGlobalSat BU-353 USB GPS for Mac use.
