  • 1.5 GB of Available Disk Space (More is required temporarily during the instalation process)
  • 512MB RAM
  • Internet connection to activate the product, this takes 30 seconds, no internet access is required afterwards
  • All files are stored  on the hard disk, no dongles or discs are required to run the program

  • input via a com port (USB ports can be used to emulate a com port)
  • NMEA signal

Note if you have a GPS that requires adaptors or the purchase of leads to output the NMEA signal it could be cheaper to purchase a GPS USB dongle for just £39.95 plus p&p, easy quicker and a backup GPS to your boat's GPS
