NOTE: AUTOPILOT CONNECTION
Care must be taken when connecting the GPS Chart Plotter to an Autopilot. Normally Port3
(Yellow wire) will be used to connect to an Autopilot input, however older autopilots may
not be able to read the sentences due to the talker ID that is being used (II Integrated
Instrument). If the autopilot connections are made to Port3 (Yellow wire) and the autopilot
is not reading the sentences, change the connections to Port1 (Brown) or 2 (White) and
change the sentences to APA, APB, XTE, COG and BOD.
PERSONAL COMPUTER CONNECTION / SETUP
Any of the NMEA ports can be used to send and receive Marks, Routes and Tracks to PC
programs.
The CP500 uses NMEA WPL and RTE sentences to share information from the PC. Refer
to the table below for connection to a Serial DB9 connector.
