Capn v.6.1 question??
 

Really? I'd better call Gateway and tell them they shouldn't have put
those serial ports in. I have 7 serial ports supported under XP on
this laptop.

I have a dedicated GPS module on the USB port of my laptop. Works great
and
the Capn finds the data from the GPS without a problem.. This is a one
way
communication with the laptop. GPS talker, Laptop Listener.

However, if I want to send course correction via NMEA 183 sentence, they
have to go out a serial port.

I can't seem to find a way to tell The Capn to send this info out a
standard
serial port, once it finds the GPS data on the USB port.

I haven't been able to get any help for Nautical Technologies since I
haven't upgraded my software since v. 7.x came out. My laptop isn't fast
enough to run the lastest version.

Anyone have any experience with this or suggestions??
