Garmin 215 GPS Receiver User Manual


 
The GPSMAP interface setup submenu provides interface settings for con-
necting external NMEA electronic devices, a PC and/or a differential GPS
(DGPS) beacon receiver. The settings, listed at the top of the interface setup
window, control a bi-directional I/O port with six (built in DGPS) or nine
(optional, external DGPS) available interface formats:
Data Transfer is a proprietary interface that allows you to exchange data such
as waypoints, routes and track logs between GPSMAP units or with a PC.
NMEA In/NMEA Out provides navigation information to a compatible
NMEA device such as an autopilot or radar, and supports waypoint input
from external devices (such as a Yeoman™ Chartplotter) that support way-
point location (WPL) data in an NMEA format. The GPSMAP supports
NMEA 0180, 0182, 0183 v.1.5 and 0183 v.2.0 options. See Appendix B for
additional NMEA sentence information.
NMEA In/No Out supports waypoint input from external devices (such as
a Yeoman™ Chartplotter) that support waypoint location (WPL) data in an
NMEA format. The GPSMAP supports NMEA 0183 v.1.5 and 0183 v.2.0
input options.
No In/NMEA Out provides navigation information to a compatible NMEA
device such as an autopilot or radar. The GPSMAP provides NMEA 0180,
0182, 0183 v.1.5 and 0183 v.2.0 output options. See Appendix B for addi-
tional NMEA sentence information.
No In/Printer Out can output course information to a serial printer. See page 55
for additional instructions.
No In/No Out turns off input and output interface connections.
