I just got off the Hitec Tech Support line and chatted with someone in the know.
This how the HTS-NavI Telemetry System components operate and assemble :
The Hitec HTS-SS Blue Basic 50A Pack is installed inside your RC vehicle with all of the sensors connected to the HTS-SS Sensor Station module, the module is connected to your 2.4GHz RX for power voltage. The 2.4GHz HTS-SS Sensor Station sends wire-less live-view data logging to the Hitec HTS-NavI USB memory card dongle that is plugged into any PC running Windows software. You will not need a Hitec Transmitter since the telemetry system sends the data directly to the dongle.
End of story other than Tower Hobbies is stating on their website that the products will not start trickling onto stocking shelves until late November, but the Hitec Technician is telling me the components will not be stocking until January.

I have just hade a look again at the HiTec sytem again it is a shame that it will not work without a reciver, if it could also be used stand alone it would be a winner.
same goes for the jetI system that would be an Improvment as well.

I have a JetI system that does the same, had it 12 months it's in a FF9 tx it will give you all the things the Hiteck will but not direct to laptop, I have a small gps unit that plugs in to a laptop to download all the tracks to google earth and plots on a map the path and speed, we have been using this for over 12 months, what you may find is you need 2 people to use this equipment on a fast boat, but if its a plodder you will prob have time to look at the screen the laptop and your boat.I think this sort of equipment is great and would be even more useful in the likes of a steam boat if it could give feed back from the engine and boiler

HiTec RC has just announced that their new HTS-NavI telemetry system USB dongle will replace the HPP-22 interface device. The HTS-NavI will plug directly into a PC for a live-view data-logger display. The HTS-NavI has a memory card for initially programming the PC with the telemetry software program.
I'm buyiing a micro PC to use the HTS-NavI USB dongle.
