I have a new Mac Mini with all the speed i think i am going to need. Installed MacENC and then did a little research on multiplexors. The shipmodual that has been recommended is a lot more expensive then the Actisense i purchased. I have used these in the past and have had great success with them. So i get the Furuno data in the the multiplexor and plug in the USB port and i cannot get any data into the MacENC program. The Actisense is recognized by the mini but the data is not coming up in the MacENC program. So i go ahead and download the GPSnavX and try that. Still no joy.

Anyone have some suggestions about what the next step should be. I am not interested in the Shipmodual unit. The Actisense is Mac ready.
thanks

I believe you need to install the FTDI driver and then restart GPSNaVX or MacENC..

Then select "Connect" on the "GPS" menu
Select the port USBSerial-XXXX in the GPS panel Settings drawer

I assume you see the LED on the mux flashing correctly which is how you know the NMEA data is there?

I would contact Actisense and ask them what Mac OS X driver is needed.
