An important point is you do not want to create a feedback loop. That is you do not want the output/repeat port of MacENC or GPSNavX to end up coming back to MacENC. This pages helps explains things.

MacENC is quite flexible in how it works with ports. If all NMEA devices connect to a Multiplexer then one wants to select the NMEA port in the GPS Panel settings drawer and then check "Use GPS Port" in both the Instruments and the AIS/Radar Panel settings drawers.
MacENC can also repeat NMEA to a port. All NMEA data received in the GPS Port will be repeated unless "Autopilot only" is checked. In that case only the NMEA messages for an active waypoint or route will be repeated.
