NMEA INTERFACING
The Network PILOT can be interfaced to any NMEA 0183 (v1.5)
compatible position fixer. If more than one source of NMEA data is to be
used then it will be necessary to use two Network PILOT display units.
NMEA INPUT
The Network PILOT display head has an NMEA input connector at the
rear, use a special 3m NMEA input cable 612-OA-053 (Red sig+, Blue
sig-).
The Network PILOT uses the follow data from NMEA:
Cross Track Error (XTE), Speed Over Ground (SOG), Bearing: current
position to destination waypoint, Bearing: origin waypoint to destination
waypoint, Distance: current position to waypoint
Waypoint number
The following NMEA sentences are decoded, Note $ID is any NMEA
talker:
$IDAPA XTE, bearing origin to destination waypoint
$IDAPB XTE, bearing origin to destination waypoint,
bearing to waypoint
$IDRMB XTE, bearing and distance to waypoint
$IDXTE XTE
$IDVTG Speed
over Ground
$IDBWR Bearing and Distance to waypoint rhumb,
waypoint number
$IDBWC Bearing and Distance to waypoint great circle,
waypoint number
