Garmin 182C to Mac OS X

I own the power/data cable and a keyspan 19QW USB to serial port connector which looks to fit. The GPSY Pro software does not list the 182C as a compatable unit. GPSy will not be able to transfer charts to/from any Garmin receiver - only Garmin's own software (which, I think, only runs on PCs) will do that. However, GPSy, or any other chart display program that accepts NMEA-0183 real-time position data from a GPS should work with the 182 for that function. (There are so many different GPS models available, with more coming out every week, it seems, that you can't expect any software vendor to list all compatible models.) -- Peter Bennett, VE7CEI peterbb (at) interchange.ubc.ca new newsgroup users info : http://vancouver-webpages.com/nnq GPS and NMEA info: http://vancouver-webpages.com/peter Vancouver Power Squadron: http://vancouver.powersquadron.ca |
