I have OpenCPN running in Navigatric. The GPS is working and can been seen in XGPS and GPS Dash Board. I know the path from XGPS. But in OpenCPN under connections that path is not showing up?
You can fill the path to the GPS device manually if it is not showing in the dropdown list of detected devices.
If you are using the device directly, not through GPSd, remember that only one application at a time can access it.
