Default GPS Not Recognized

If one application sees your GPSs, the problem with Offshore
Navigation Light and SeaClearII is clearly not hardware. That stated,
the question is now the new applications. How did you get them? Are
they legal? Do you need an activation code? Do you need a dongle? How
about calling application tech support if you have legal copies.


SeaClear is freeware with an open license. ON Lite is essentially freeware
that Maptech supplied (or still supplies?) with certain chart packages that
are encrypted. It was necessary, for example, to load ON Lite to set up my
Bermuda electronic charts. In both cases these apps are "legal" if I
understand the nature of your comment. Good point, but I am not sure this
is the issue.
