Has anybody found a Nav system monitoring program, similar to NavMonPC that will run-on Mac? I am looking for a way to connect brainaids NMEA proxy to qtVlm… Cheers

Ok, I think I might be able to use OpenCPN... But can't try it yet as I can't get brainaid's NMEA proxy to run.

When using Safari, I click on the link, and it zips in to the download icon in the top right corner, and then disappears, nothing happens, no NMEA proxy runs, and I can't tell if Java runs or not.

When using Chrome, it sends me to the oracle homepage to download java, which I have done, and have the latest version. Again, I don't know how to check that it is running but assume that it is.

I'll keep looking to see what I can find...

Maybe this has something to do with mac problems running java 7.
Apple blocks java7 in OSx

Thanks Cappy… I think it's all ok now, Java has been upgraded and the new version is supported by Apple… I still can't get it to run though, still trying to find options… Anyone else managed to get Brainaids NMEA proxy to run on a Mac?

I too am having the same problem - java does not seem to start from the link on brainaids site....any guidance would be most welcome.

My plan is to use Qtvlm as the router with a feed from brain aid nmea proxy....is this the way to do it for a MAC?

Hi Boozeroo,

Where I'm at so far, is that to get the Brainaid NMEA Proxy running I had to install Firefox, it would not run off Safari for some reason. I'm now trying to get MultiCom working, which for some reason is not picking up the output from Brainaids NMEA proxy (get a message saying that it is "Waiting for Server" continuously, when the NMEA proxy is running).

In QtVlm, under Boat -> Boat Settings, select Serial Mode, name it the same name as you setup when setting up MultiCom (see link below to another thread on how to do this) and this should be able to import the NMEA data in to QtVlm.

how to connect to brainaid

If you are able to get MultiCom to work better than I have so far, you should be able to get this all working.

Is anybody else having a problem yesterday/today with NavMonPc's GPS clock? It seems stuck at 20/09/14 14:46:36.
Reinstallation of version 1.18 from NavMonPc web site does not resolve the freeze and I am left with a "C:\ProgFilex86\NavMonPc\SerialToolsXPRunTime.exe with Code 740 The requested operation requires elevation."
Any ideas?

Restart of computer restarted GPS clock and/or reconnected so now routing again.

Hi, everyone!

I need assistance to co-ordinate brainaid's proxy with NavMonPc on a Win 8 computer. Presently, when I click on the proxy button, the result from java.com is:

"Sorry! We couldn't find the document requested.

The file that you requested could not be found on this server. If you provided the URL, please check to ensure that it is correct."

Thanks for your attention!

Haugesund to Reykjavik 2025


In late April 2016 Draken Harald Hårfagre, the worlds largest viking ship built in modern times, left her home port in Haugesund, Norway and sailed off for a challenging voyage across the North Atlantic Ocean.
The aim was to explore and relive one of the most mythological sea voyages – the first transatlantic crossing, and the Viking discovery of the New World, more than a thousand years ago. History tells us about the Viking explorer, Leif Eriksson, who discovered America over 500 years before Christopher Columbus. The expedition was all about exploring the world, just like the Vikings did.
Sailonline is racing the 1000 nm first leg, from Haugesund, Norway, to Reykjavik, Iceland in our Farr 400. Let us sail in the wake of history on this epic adventure!
