connect to the GPS receiver (such as the iFINDER Pro). Lowrance of-
fers an optional DGPS receiver for your unit.
To exchange NMEA or DGPS data, Lowrance offers an optional data
only cable and two power/data combo cables:
PC-DI5 NMEA/Serial cable with DB-9 plug.
The PC-DI5 is a NMEA/serial communications cable. It has a standard
female DB-9 connector on one end to attach your unit to a computer's
serial communications port.
PC-DI6 NMEA/Serial cable with DB-9 plug and power converter.
The PC-DI6 combines a cigarette lighter power adapter with a DB-9
plug for a NMEA/serial com port connection to a laptop computer or
other device. This is our favorite cable for connecting the iFINDER Pro
to a laptop computer in an RV or other vehicle. By transmitting NMEA
data to the computer, you can get live position data for GPS-compatible
mapping software.
You can also run one of our free Lowrance GPS emulators on your lap-
top, and operate it with real-time position information.
To use it, plug the power adapter into a cigarette lighter socket, plug
the DB-9 connector into a serial port on the computer and attach the
cable to the iFINDER. Then see "Com Port Configuration" in Sec. 5.
