why didn't I find you all ages ago! 
new in these parts, but thought I drop my two pen'ath in
maxsea can be made to work on an intel under parallels. after much fighting with it got ti to work with a chaepo usb gps receiver from ebay and my magellan meridian handheld
you've got to get the drivers in both os x and parallels, but the critical bit was in the config of parallels to make the new port available tot he virtual machine, so, for examplem the usb/serial adapter for the magellan created a port called PL2303-2B13 which you make available to parallels and it worked fine....
for what its worth I've played with fugawi, maptech offshore, C-mapECS, Tsunamis and loads of others as well
but having faffed on for ages.... my conclusion (arrived at last week) was... whats the point, stick macENC or gpsNAVx instead.
the interface on maxsea sucks (its sucks on them all pretty much)
being here in good old blighty though, my next task is to work out what charts to buy!
