Yes a Garmin GPS 17 will work fine with MacENC. You will have to connect a DB-9 connector to the bare wires and use a Keyspan Adapter or a Multiplexor.
I would ask that you consider the $89.95 BU-353 USB waterproof GPS. It plugs straight into the USB port and has many reception advantages. It works fine near a window or port..

For your Garmin ETrex you will need Garmins PC interface cable and a Keyspan adapter. You could transfer your track periodically to MacENC, but doing so every hour would be tedious. Much better to have a live GPS connected.
