I have used
opencpn for 2 years with an XP system and I think it's fantastic. I'm trying to get it running on my mac with os 10.6. It seems to be working fine, but:
1. I can't get the GPS/NMEA data stream window to appear. In XP it displays a window titled COM5, or whatever, but the
screen doesn't even appear in os x.
2. The right part of the display is cropped out, so I can't see the status displays, telling me how good the
GPS data is.
I'm using a GlobalSat usb
GPS dongle with built-in prolific usb-serial converter. This is named /dev/cu.usbserial in the
NMEA data source box.
Has anybody had these problems?
Thanks for any help,
Mike
