Some direct links covering some of your questions:
For general info about GNSS(GPS) connections.
For connections in general look here.

Thanks Hakan, but ive been through this manual, and Openmarine's, and BBN's, multiple times with Rpi4, Ubuntu, Mac and BBN OS. The problem with these docs is that they DON'T tell you how to proceed when it doesn't
work, but such is the nature of Open
software as the myriad of
hardware and SW combos cant all be accounted for.
My principle problem with
GPS is I get the data in, I get the connections made in OCPN, I can see the GPS sentences in the debugger (speaking of which, why don't the pause and copy buttons
work??), and the satellites are displayed on the dashboard. My own position and Icon is not shown on
screen though, and the top right corner icon does not change to show receiving. Additionally the Lat and Long in the dash board is about 3000 miles off. I know the GPS dongle works as I use it for other projects. There's something going screwy between the USB input and OCPN.
Dont even get me started on RTLSDR......
Hence the decision to look into an entirely stand alone combo device. I'm not yet at the point of giving up and visiting Raymarine
