New to Mac nav issues. Want to interface Macbook Pro with Raymarine C80. According to posts I've found, I need the Keyspan serial to USB adapter, and the Raymarine GPS to serial cable. I've looked at both online and I don't like the look of the Raymarine cable: three bare wires that need to be attached somewhere. There is an unused NMEA port on back of C80, so I thought there must be an NMEA to serial cable that I could just plug in? But then I read that Raymarine doesn't support uploading of waypoints and routes, which is all I really wanted to do anyway, so what's the point of bothering to figure out and connect cables? Somewhat frustrating.... Thanks for any and all enlightening responses.
