Advanced NMEA Output Setup
If you are going to interface the GPSMAP 396 with another piece of
equipment (such as a radar or autopilot), the unit needs to be set to
output NMEA data. The NMEA data transmission can be customized
to keep the output rate at two seconds. If too many NMEA sentences
are selected the unit can take longer than two seconds to update. You
can also set the rate to Fast to output a minimum number of NMEA
sentences at 1-second intervals.
To access the Advanced NMEA Output Setup:
1. Press MENU twice to open the Main Menu.
2. Use the ROCKER to select Setup from the vertical tab list.
3. Select Interface from the row of tabs along the top.
4. Highlight the eld below Serial Data Format. Press ENTER.
5. Select NMEA In/NMEA Out. Press ENTER.
6. Press MENU to open the options menu. Select Advanced
NMEA Setup, and press ENTER.
