You're going to have to provide a good deal more information to get a decent answer, otherwise there's no help that can be given. First Step, read the User Manual, getting started > GPS

The Pixel C is an Android device (Android 6.0).

The fastest response you might get therefore here:
OpenCPN Android Forum
at the dedicated OCPN Android forum.

How good is the Pixel C machine itself? Worth buying one?

Is the GPS built-in? Are there other sensors onboard (baro?, compas? etc)

How do you pair the GPS? BT? Wifi?

Very nice device, too bad nearly EUR 700 where we are. Maybe later.

[catacelsius]

Yes and It is very responsive

I do not know what GPS you use. I have no BT experience.

If the GPS is a wifi source then:

You pair the device with a wifi GPS by connecting the device to the access point that contains the GPS data (your router, your AIS transponder, etc.) then you select the network as a data source in OpenCPN settings.

This should be very easy.

If you pair to a wifi GPS your life on the battery will be severely shortened. But without GPS onboard the device you do not have other good choices (there are BT gps units but I have only seen one BT AIS unit). I have never seen BT instrument routers (if such exist).

I think Google homesite says there is NO GPS on Pixel C.

You can use the Samsung as a GPS, pair the devices and ask the Pixel to use Samsung GPS over BT or WiFi.

Is this what you are trying to achieve?
