OpenCPN may require you to select something other than "AIS Port
(shared)" on the settings menu. Supposedly it will auto detect GPS
data settings, seems to work for me.


Wayne, I will fiddle with the settings again on Tuesday. Thanks for putting
me onto OpenCPN, which is really a great project. I am trying to keep up
with the fast pace of development on the Cruisers Forum. These guys are
really going at it and are quite the crew.
