OK Didier. At least you could solve the problem by using the NMEA0183 connection again.
The truth is that I don't understand if your problem resembles the experiment I did yesterday or not.
You see, in my experiment, when the GPS signal is lost, simply opencpn puts the boat in position 0.0 and immediately returns it to its correct coordinates when the signal returns. In your case you say that it rather "goes crazy" or erratic, and that is not exactly what happens to me in my experiment.
On the other hand each openplotter installation is a small world with its particularities and differences and although they look alike in reality there are not two openplotter installations exactly the same. It could also be a problem related to some part of your installation that we don't know.
There are not many reports of problems like yours. It works perfectly for me. We will have to experiment more.
