Interface formats are selected from the Setup ‘Interface Page’ on page 55 of this
manual. See also page 68 for using the Rino with MapSource. The input/output lines
on your Rino unit are RS-232 compatible, allowing easy interface to a wide range of
external devices, including PC’s, differential beacon receivers, marine autopilots and /or
a second GPS receiver.
The NMEA 0183 version 3.0 interface format is supported by the Rino and enables
the unit to drive up to three NMEA devices.
