NMEA Interface
If you are going to use the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C with a NMEA device (such as
a radio or autopilot), the unit needs to be set to input/output NMEA data. See the
GPSMAP 3006C/3010C

information on
wiring and NMEA data.

Advanced NMEA Output Setup
The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C NMEA data transmission can be customized to
change the precision of the
Lat/Lon
minutes, set up the waypoint IDs, and keep
the output rate at two seconds. If the unit is set up to output all of the available
NMEA sentences, the output rate may exceed two seconds.
Use the Advanced NMEA Setup Page to turn the GPS status (GSA, GSV),
Waypoint/Route (WPL, RTE), and the Garmin proprietary sentences on or off.
Check any other equipment’s owners manual to see what sentences are required
to be enabled for functionality.

allows you to adjust the number of digits to the right
of the decimal point for transmission of NMEA Output, either 2, 3, or 4 digits.

numbers.
