Configure NMEA Output
Press the down arrow key on the “NMEA/DGPS”
menu until the “Configure NMEA Output” menu is
highlighted, then press the right arrow key. A screen
similar to the one at right appears.
NMEA 0183 Version
There are two versions of the NMEA data, 1.5 and
2.0. If your other equipment requires 2.0, press
the right arrow key to select it.
NMEA Sentence Selection
Some equipment requires different sentence. The
AirMap default setting for these sentences is on.
In other words, it automatically sends these sen-
tences when NMEA is turned on. To turn any of
these off, first highlight the “NMEA Messages” la-
bel on the “Configure NMEA” menu as shown
above, then press the right arrow key. The screen
shown at right appears. Now highlight the desired
menu and press the left arrow key. Press the EXIT
key when everything on this screen is the way you want it.
DGPS
The AirMap will recognize Starlink
® and Magnavox ®
DGPS receivers and compatibles. If you have ei-
ther one of these receivers, simply highlight the
“Starlink DGPS” or “Magnavox DGPS” label on the
NMEA/DGPS menu and press the right arrow key
to turn it on. (Note: If you have a Magnavox DGPS
receiver connected, the AirMap can’t send NMEA
data.) The DGPS data port needs to be config-
ured next. Highlight the “Configure DGPS Beacon
Receiver” label at the bottom of this screen and press the right arrow key.
The screen shown below appears.
These menus select the beacon receiver’s fre-
quency and bit rate (in bits per second). If you are
using a Starlink receiver, turning the auto mode
on causes the AirMap to auto-detect the frequency
and bit rate.
To change one of these settings, simply highlight
the menu item you wish to change, then press the
