Coastal Explorer has an Options section for connecting the app to COM ports for I/O (Tools -> Options -> Instruments -> Port Settings). All available COM ports are listed when running under Windows. Under Wine, none are found (see attached screen shot). Defined COM1...4 (/dev/ttyS0...3) and COM5 (/dev/ttyUSB0) were all chmod to 666 to ensure permissions weren't a problem; the problem remains.
Without serial I/O, the app's function of reading a GPS' serial stream and writing commands to an autopilot controller (also via serial stream) is lost. Without it CE functions only as a trip planner and tide predictor.
