BT-359 SiRF Star III Bluetooth GPS Receiver which has worked flawlessly with the program. Routes are easily created with way points and distances calculated automatically. Saved my butt when my chart plotter failed on one of my cruises. I always have it running while out on the water. Far more accurate than a chart plotter because of the detailed charts from NOAA.

While Garmin does send their proprietary data over the USB port it lacks much of the information NMEA contains such as satellite, active waypoint and route information.
GPSNavX does support transfer of waypoints, routes and tracks via the Garmin proprietary data transfer protocol.
All Garmin Marine models do support NMEA, but require an RS-232 connection. So a Keyspan Adapter or Shipmodule Multiplexer is used.

It has come a long way in a short time.
Everyting a boater needs.

The developers seem to be keen on developing the product, and will hopefully be including more "marine" features such as support for ENC and cross-chart stiching.
The best Mac GPS application, but it doesn't stand up well when compared to PC software such as Offshore Navigator Lite.
Here is a screenshot..

And who wants to run VPC on a Mac?

add tool bar
Man over board
alarms
support for ENC's
Quilting
Box zoom
Then it will deffinally be upto par with the PC based systems.

The price is an amazing $50. You won't find similar software on Windows anywhere near that price.
I tried MacGPSPro and was very disappointed in the poor user interface, its ability to only work with Garmin GPS, and lack of marine chart support. Also no demo version to test out was not very inspiring.
The folks over at GPSy have no plans for an OS X version as it appears their website has gone stale. I agree it's a good application, but it's time to move on from OS-9.
GPSNavX is quickly becoming a very powerful OS X navigation application without becoming bogged down with complex additions that few need.
If there is a feature you want in GPSNavX email gpsnavx@mac.com

Also can't seem to get it to read all the charts on a Maptech CD.
MacGPSPro is supposed to be able to read Maptech charts shortly (q3cy03). That will be superior. Right now, gpsy pro running in classic is still much more useful than this.
looks promising, but needs more work.

I would also expect and new marine nav software would use the free ENC maps from NOAA.
