lv-ab: Reading NMEA

    Hi all,

    I've been wiring up my GPS to my McMurdo Nav6 Navtex, all via my
    plotter. The Navtex records my log data and I'd like to be able to
    download this log data after a sail onto my laptop. I'm currently
    putting together the serial cables to plug into the laptop but I'd be
    interested to know if any of you download your sailing data and, if you
    do, what software you use to capture this data. The navtex manual isn't
    much help but surely if it records my log (SOG, COG, waypoints etc) then
    there must be a way of capturing this data (in a txt file maybe?) on my
    laptop?

    Please note I'm not really interested in having the laptop running and
    recording this data whilst actually sailing, though this could be fun to
    play with at some point.

    Any suggestions on grabbing this data gratefully received.

    Regards,

    Jamie
