Chart is on screen with boat pos, course and speed in real time.
Data from GPS Rx via USB port.
In that case, I'd definitely ask on the OpenStreetMap mailing list [1]
and/or IRC channel [2]. I know there are people on the mailing list that

I know that GPSBabel can read NMEA - my GPS records logs in NMEA format,
and I use GPSBabel to convert them to GPX. If it can talk to your
device, then it might be just what you're looking for.
