Title: GPSNAVX Version 4.65
#1
Just a quick note to say thanks for the latest update to my GPSNavX program.

We just made a five day passage from Norfolk, VA to Falmouth, ME and I was absolutely thrilled with your correction of a nagging problem with GPSNavX. The older versions had a tendency to lockout the GPS input everytime the computer put it self to sleep or simply crash the computer. Version 4.65 has fixed this by shutting off the GPS input before the computer goes to sleep. Now when you wake the computer up, you just have to go to GPS on the tool bar and select connect and you're immediately back on line.

For our trip I only had one computer crash that requirec a restart. Compare to the multiple failures under the older versions. Version 4.65 is a great fix!

Thanks,
Pete

The next version of MacENC and GPSNavX will automatically reconnect the GPS (and instruments and AIS) after awakening from sleeping IF "Connect At StartUp" is checked for the respective panels in the Preferences.

I have only seen the lockout with BlueTooth devices, but not USB. None the less glad this issue is resolved for you.
