RMB

cross track error, bearing to waypoint, distance to
waypoint, waypoint number

RMC

course over ground (COG), speed over ground
(SOG), latitude/longitude, time, variation

VHW

speed through water, heading

VTG

course over ground (COG), speed over ground
(SOG)

VWR

relative apparent wind angle, relative apparent
wind speed

XTE

cross track error

ZDA

time, date

Note: When connected to a NMEA navigator, the course computer looks at
NMEA 1 first. If NMEA 1 has no data, the course computer looks at NMEA 2.
If both channels have the same type of navigation data, the course computer
uses NMEA 1.

Course computer NMEA 1 output*

NMEA 0183 transmitted Information sent

HDM

heading

* Note: Type 150G and Type 400G course computers provide fast heading
(HDM) output from NMEA 1 at 10 Hz 0.1° resolution. This fast heading data is
suitable for use with the MARPA function on radar equipment.

Course computer NMEA 2 output

NMEA 0183 transmitted Information sent (* if available)

BWC

bearing to waypoint*, distance to waypoint*,
waypoint number*, time*

GLL

latitude/longitude*, time*

HDG
HDM
HDT

heading

VTG

course over ground* (COG), speed over ground*
(SOG)

* Note: The course computer will only transmit these items if it has received the
appropriate data.

Course computer NMEA 1 and 2 inputs
