Default Connect iPhone to CAI302

There are NMEA to Bluetooth bridges currently available in the USA, built for the boat market. Could not these be used?


AFAIK, Bluetooth is locked down on Apple products, and only available
to certain partners (not including Butterfly). Therefore, Butterfly
had to avoid Bluetooth and use WiFi instead. The problem is of
political nature, not technical.

These political problems are the reason why I decided not to port that
other software to the iPhone.
