Do I understand that you run GPS in through one serial port and back out

doing that? I assume then that it is also available to charting programs
running one the computer. That sounds useful.

If you run Maptech, that's easy. It has an option to pass thru
selected NMEA sentences on a port you select, not necessarily the GPS
input port. You can also output autopilot sentences on another or the
same port.

I don't use Maptech anymore, so I do it a little differently. I use a
program I wrote that reads NMEA data to act as a repeater display. It
supports 2 ports and can pass thru data like Maptech does, if desired.
It also interfaces with OziExplorer directly to pass GPS data.

To reply, lose the capitals and do the obvious.
