As a Mac user, I look forward to the serial port alternate!

Can you use a USB com port on Mac? (I would assume so.)

My Win 7 machine does not have a traditional RS-232 Com Port, I had to purchase a USB Comm port converter.

Then you need the iFly USB to RS-232 cable and a null modem to mate the cables.

I found that setting the NEMA output for 5 transmission per second seemed to satisfy the 720 for smoothness and responsiveness to button pushes and functions.

Do you have an ideal setting in mind for the transmission per second?

5 should work fine...but "3" would more closely represent the actual GPS refresh rate.
