PS The RPi guys screwed up the UART with the Bluetooth facility in the Pi3. I guess it’s well-known now but I wasted a ton of time trying to feed NMEA into the console terminal after I upgraded to a Pi3. Worked (with kplex) on the B+.

Hi tkoning,
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I guess it’s certainly possible to work around the RPi 3 UART issues but it’s deeper than I personally want/feel competent to get involved with. However it would be interesting if you could post the schematic you mentioned and a consolidated “idiot’s guide” to the subject which draws together the comments in various places on and off this thread.
Notwithstanding this, I’m really keen to have a wifi solution for the PC link not rely on a cable and also to hear how Renato got Ozi to work with OpenPlotter (I’m presuming for both Navdata and AIS data) – solving the “unbundling” issue in Ozi I mentioned.
Thanks again
Andrew
