Thank you for coming back Meindert.

No, my problem is a kind of country specific, as a lot of Danes
have invested in sea maps covering Denmark, West Sweden and
Southern Norway, but the format is not compatible with anything
in the world, and cannot run on a PPC - only on a Win PC, and you
are not allowed to get some one to convert the maps into another
format etc. Otherwise, I would not have bothered - even thinking
of this solution. And, most feedback from other people gives me
the impression, that I should look for an external monitor to my
notebook, that is prohibited access to the cockpit if it is more
than 4m/sec or there are more than three clouds on the sky ....

Hello Meinert,

Thank you for your proposal Meinert. I have also been visiting
your homepage. Very interesting and inspiring! By reading many
of
the 'letters' in this and other news groups, I have seen your
many relevant comments. Being an 'electronic amateur', I'm not
sure, I fully understand your input in this case. Sorry for
that.
Maybe a little clarification from my side can help, as I find
myself 'fighting with incompatible solutions' so to speak ...

Do you think your NMEA multiplexer could play an active
role in my situation? Or are we talking on different subjects?

I think we were. It was indeed not quite clear to me what you
wanted to
achieve. I thought you merely wanted to run navigation software
on your PDA
in parallel with software on your laptop, and wanted to hook up
Seatalk too.
That's why I chimed in, because I thought our BT multiplexers
could help
here to translate Seatalk into NMEA, feed it to the laptop via
the serial
port and at the same time to your PDA over bluetooth.

But for the VNC stuff, our solution is useless :-)
