Interface Setup
The interface setup page lets you specify the interfacing
formats for connecting external devices. There are five
interface options: GRMN/GRMN, None/None,
None/NMEA, RTCM/None, and RTCM/NMEA. Each option
lists the input format first, followed by the output format.
To select I/O format:
1. Highlight the I/O field and press
E
.
2. Use the
U
and
D
keys to toggle through and select
the desired setting and press
E
.
The GRMN/GRMN setting is a proprietary format that
lets you exchange information such as waypoints, routes
and track logs between two GARMIN GPS devices or a PC.
During data transfer, the number of packets being
exchanged will be displayed on screen.
To select a transfer option:
1. Highlight the ‘host’ field and press
E
.
2. Use
U
and
D
to select a setting and press
E
.
To disable all interfacing capabilities, select the
None/None setting. If you want to output NMEA data to
compatible external devices without any differential input
capability, select the None/NMEA setting. Once a NMEA
output setting has been selected (with or without RTCM
input), the NMEA field will become highlighted. NMEA
formats 0180, 0182 or 0183 (1.5 or 2.0) are available.
To select a NMEA format:
1. Press
E
to begin a NMEA selection.
2. Use
U
and
D
to select a format and press
E
.
DGPS Interface
The last two format settings allow the differential-ready
GPS 40 to accept RTCM DGPS corrections in RTCM 104
version 2.0 format. DGPS corrections will improve receiver
accuracy to 5-10 meters, regardless of errors induced by the
government’s Selective Availability (SA) program. The
RTCM/NONE format allows connection to any manually
tuned beacon receiver with the proper output interface,
with the baud rate selectable from the GPS 40.

The default interface setting
is the GARMIN/GARMIN
option, which can be used
for unit-to-unit data trans-
fer or interfacing with a
GARMINPCKit.
NMEAInterface
Once a NMEA format is
selected, the baud rate will
automatically be set to the
proper speed. See Appendix
C for a list of NMEA
sentences.
