darkside 61 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Where can I get a USB GPS receiver in NZ? At the moment I plug in a handheld GPS but that is fairly clumsy with all the cabling. Just looking to make OpenCPN a back up plotter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

geoff-halo 19 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Yes the Garmin works a dream. You might just decide to make OpenCPN your primary plotter! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darkside 61 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Thanks and yep we bought the Globalstar. It turned up this morning and works a treat. Even picks up inside the house. The only little trick was linking OpenCPN to the correct port. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
