Comm (Communications) Tab
The Communications tab controls the input/output format used
when connecting your GPSMAP 192C to external NMEA devices,
such as an external Sonar Module, a DGPS beacon receiver, a
personal computer, or another Garmin unit.
NOTE: If a DGPS receiver is used, WAAS capability is
automatically turned to Off. See page 99 for wiring and NMEA
version information.
The unit supports two input/output ports.
