If your instrumentation (GPS, Instruments) already send out NMEA data you do not need a Multiplexer. You can go the route of using a Keyspan adapter and a GPS data cable..

I do not know of software that lets you transmit the NMEA data over Bluetooth (Other than MacENC or GPSNavX to a repeat serial port). Even if you did it one be a 1:1 connection. A better solution is wifi IP. MacENC has the ability to transmit NMEA data over IP and receive it over IP. So using a wireless router (i.e. Airport Express) is a better solution. With this you can have as many clients listening to the NMEA data.
