ok -- first i am any thing but a techie -- so please be gentle
i just visited the great
shopping mall in the west (called the usa) and got a dell pro 8 tablet that runs windows 8
i successfully installed
opencpn 3.2.2 and then was able to download my cm93
charts from this computer onto a stick and on to the tablet and get them loaded
success so far
but when i hook up my mobile
gps it will not recognize it or i do not get any data from it -- i took the
gps out and put it on this machine with
opencpn 3.0.2 and it worked fine
when i look at the tablet there are 2 options, or what appear to be, they are
serial garmin-usb and i set the baud rate at 4800
the second is
serial com1 and again i set the baud rate at 4800
one also sayd protocol
nmea 0183
anyone have any thoughts -- the original idea is to use the tablet as a backup to my
chartplotter if it fails (it has twice)
thanks to all
