Garmin 16-HVS GPS Receiver

Set up the software for the correct serial port, 1200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit

and no parity. Flow control should be off. Using the serial cable, connect the

Garmin16-HVS to the computer serial port. Power up the Garmin16-HVS.

The GPS antenna should have a clear view of the sky. Don’t expect the GPS

antenna to work indoors. The $GPGGA string should be displayed once a

second. Make sure the $GPGGA string is showing a valid GPS fix. A valid

GPS fix will display time, position and have a GPS quality number greater than

zero. Part number 17218, RJ45 to DB9 adapter, is needed to connect the

Garmin16-HVS to the computer serial cable.
