Advanced NMEA Output Setup
If you are going to interface the GPSMAP 580/585 with another
piece of equipment (such as a radar or autopilot), the unit must 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 started, the unit may take longer than two
seconds to update.
You can also set the Output Rate to Fast which outputs a minimum
number of NMEA sentences at 1-second intervals.
