• Aviation In—the proprietary format used for connection to a Garmin panel-
mounted GPS receiver. This eliminates the need to enter the destination on both
units.
• Aviation In/NMEA & VHF Out—receives aviation data and transmits out both
NMEA data, at 9600 baud, and VHF frequency tuning information to a Garmin
Nav/Comm radio.
• TIS-A In—receives TIS-A data from a Garmin Mode S transponder or other com-
patible device.
• TIS-A In/NMEA & VHF Out—receives TIS-A data and transmits out both NMEA
data, at 9600 baud, and VHF frequency tuning information to a Garmin Nav/
Comm radio.
• None—provides no interfacing capabilities.
ADvAnceD nMeA output Setup
If interfacing the aera 795/796 with another piece of equipment (such as an
autopilot), the unit needs to be set to output NMEA data. If the NMEA output mode is
set to ‘Fast’, the unit will output a minimum number of NMEA sentences at 1-second
intervals. If the NMEA output is set to ‘Normal’, the unit will output a greater number
NMEA sentences at 2-second intervals.
Setting NMEA output mode:
1)
From the Main Menu, touch Tools > Setup > Interface.
2)
Touch the 'Serial Data Format' datafield. A vertical list is displayed.
3)
Touch 'NMEA Out'.
4)
Touch the 'NMEA Output Mode' Normal/Fast toggle button.
NMEA Sentence Output:
•Normal Mode: GPRMB, GPRMC, GPGGA, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPGLL, GPBWC,
GPVTG, GPXTE, GPBOD, GPRTE, GPWPL, GPAPB, PGRME, PGRMZ, PGRMM,
and PGRMH.
•Fast Mode: GPRMB, GPRMC, PGRMZ, and PGRMH.
