My GPS-simulator is the GPS NMEA Simulator v2.0, it runs under windows 7 and is connected to my RPI by a Sitecom usb to serial cable v2.
The data connection in Ocpn is excactly as PaddyB showed.
The output in OPL of opencpn in the NMEA 0183 tab looks like this:
/media/bert/15E5-2842/Openplotter/Screendump_diagnostic.png
All checkboxes, including auto_gp are checked, as Monos suggested.
And executing the terminal command nc localhost 10109 shows very nice NMEA sentences.
But still there is no reaction in Ocpn.
I opened a new serial connection in Ocpn and when I do a "Show NMEA Debug Window" on this connection I can see also the NMEA sentences passing by and they are green colored, but the strange thing is that also in this case the position is not shown in the map and the satellite symbol in the upper right corner stays red!
PS how can I paste a screendump in the reply??
