Has anyone use iNavX for the iPod Touch with Coastal Explorer to provide NMEA data to the iPod Touch for positioning?
iNavX mentions Coastel Explorer but I can't find detailed information

Apparently the iNavX website used to claim that it would work with Coastal Explorer, but that was not quite true...
Both iNavX and Coastal Explorer are capable of sending and receiving data over a TCP/IP network connection. However, both programs act as "clients" that are capable of connecting to a "server". Since neither program can act as a server, a third program must be used to fill that role. GPSGate is apparently one such program (and possibly the only one commercially available).
I've never actually used GPSGate and iNavX together, so I'm afraid I can't provide all the details. We might go ahead and set something up here, though, and I'll post again if we do.
Also, if there is enough interest in this sort of thing, we will consider offering something like GPSGate, but more tightly integrated with Coastal Explorer (and easier to setup). Just let us know!

As a satisfied user of both applications ( CE & iNavX ), I hope to see the time that they will interoperate. Let me know if there is anything I can do to move this issue along
I am currently studying iPhone programing, working with Apple on setup of my iPhone developer account and participate on a forum where the iNavX developer may be found ( http://www.macsailing.net/fbb/index.php? ).
