I/O— Interface Settings lets you control the input/

output format used when connecting your unit to
external NMEA devices, a DGPS beacon receiver, or a
personal computer, etc. Five format settings are available:

Aviation In — allows the NavTalk Pilot to commu-

nicate with a Garmin panel-mounted GPS. Flight
plans (or GOTO destinations) selected on the
panel-mounted GPS will also appear on the
NavTalk Pilot.

GARMIN — the proprietary format used to exchange

waypoint, route, track log data with a PC or with
another NavTalk Pilot.

NMEA — supports the input/output of standard

NMEA 0183 version 2.0 data.

None — provides no interfacing capabilities.

RTCM/NMEA — allows Differential GPS (DGPS)

input using a standard RTCM format and also
provides NMEA 0183 version 2.0 output.

RTCM In — allows DGPS input using a standard

RTCM format, without any output capabilities.

RTCM Text — allows DGPS input using a standard

RTCM format and also provides simple text (ASCII)
output containing position, velocity, and time data
in fixed width fields.

Text Out — supports simple text (ASCII) output

containing position, velocity, and time data in fixed
width fields (not delimited).

The ‘GARMIN’ option
allows the data exchange
with a PC or another unit.
Use this setting to perform
database updates.

When transferring data
to/from another unit,
select the type of data
and whether to ‘request’
it from or ‘send’ it to the
other unit.
