I have an Actisense NGX hooked up to my nav computer at the helm. Being lazy, I like to lounge on the sofa and use my laptop to do route planning. I currently use the Data Server feature on the helm CE to feed the NMEA data to the planning laptop. After reading the “Not Implemented Yet” comments about the transmit/repeater features, I’m wondering if this is something you’re going to bring forward? If not, can you suggest an alternative?

Yes, v4.5 will have something very similar to the Data Server but much easier to use. In fact I expect it will be in this week’s update and I’m looking forward to getting your feedback on it! (And your testing with the NGX as we only have an NGT-1 to test with.)

The Data Server replacement and Actisense NGT-1 support were included in today’s update. I think that the NGX is similar enough to the NGT that it will just work. To try that, use “Settings > Electronics > Configure a New Device > Actisense NGT-1” and select the serial port it’s connected to.
Oops…we forgot something and it’s only enabled for Rose Point employees. Sorry about that! We’ll get another update out right away.
An update is out now, it really should include the Actisense option for you this time!
