A new beta of OpenCPN has just been released, it supports other channels than Serial for the NMEA data input. TCP, UDP, GPSD...
That means that if you read the NMEA port from the Console, you can re-broadcast them on another channel that OpenCPN can listen to; no more Serial port access conflict, the two applications can run simultaneously, that is very cool.
That also means that when you replay logged data in the console, you can visualize them in OpenCPN too. Even better!
AIS Data can also be read this way. The San Francisco Bay traffic can be seen by using a TCP connection on 207.7.148.216, port 9009
