Ah, ok - so I need to set the NGX-1 to 'Transmit' mode, at 115k, in the NMEA reader software and match that with the 115k in Exp. I misunderstood previously as I thought Exp would do that configuration step.

Thx for the clarification Nick.

You can set the device's baud rate in NMEA Reader. For various reasons, I don't want to update the device's eeprom from Exp.

All the NGT and NGX I have all came working with 115k or 230k

Thanks Nick,

I've updated to the latest Exp version, but it is still not changing the NGX-1 setup from it's default boot status (Convert @ 4800 baud rate). I had a mail from Actisense confirming that they are expecting it to be configured by the software using their device.

When does Exp send the config instruction to the NGX-1? I have tried all different ways to connect without using the NMEA Reader (Exp running, plug in the USB-C cable, then 'Reconnect Instruments' / USB-C connected, boot up Exp, etc) but nothing has worked. The Network 0, Websocket data works every time.

For info - I have a B&G Edge, with an ethernet connection into a multi-block. The NGX-1 is connected into the mulit-block's USB-A port and the output USB-C is into my laptop. In Exp the Actisense is seen as Com 4.

ciao Sparky and Nick, very usefull info to decide the correct Map. 
Have sense to invest on Platinum version ?

on the Navionics compatibility guide ... see below the link
https://www8.garmin.com/navionics/PDF/GPS_Plotter_Cards_Compatibility_Guide.pdf
report for Platinum version this:
 4 Limited Platinum compatibility. Check with manufacturer.
What is this limited compatibility ?

I like C-Map alot but I moved to Navioncs for a few reasons:
1. C-Map had a lot of problems with their webstore last time I needed to update my charts and eventually they sorted me out. I get very worried it will happen again.
2. Navioncs is support on both x64 machines and Arm machines C-Maps is not.
3. I've had problems with the 4D displaying on x64 machines -- originally it was just when running over remote desktop but it has gotten worse and exp 4d crashes when I start it. Navionics has never been so fickle.
