You can change the USB and serial format settings
from the Interface tab. Do not change any of the other
settings unless you are an authorized Garmin installer
for the StreetPilot 2660.
Interface tab--StreetPilot 2660 Only
The Interface tab only appears on the StreetPilot 2660 with Dead Reckoning (DR) sensors. Most of
the information included in this tab is provided for and should be used
only by authorized Garmin
installers
who must install the Dead Reckoning (DR) cable for your StreetPilot 2660. If necessary, you can
customize the bottom-row settings on this tab (USB Format and Serial Format).
Your StreetPilot 2660 is set up to transfer data via a USB connection. If you need to use a serial port
connection, change the settings below as necessary:
USB Format
–
If you are using the Garmin USB cable to transfer data, keep
USB Format
set to
Garmin
.
Change it to
None
only if you plan to use a serial cable instead of USB.
Serial Format
–
If you are using the Garmin USB cable to transfer data, keep
Serial Format
set to
None
.
If you plan to use a serial cable, choose from one of the available settings below:
• Garmin: The proprietary format used to exchange waypoint, route, track log data with a PC via serial
connection. Use this format for software updates and to save mapping software to the StreetPilot’s
pre-programmed hard drive.
• NMEA: Supports the input/output of standard NMEA 0183 version 3.01 data.
• Text Out: Supports a standardized, fi xed-column ASCII output with data for position, track, speed,
etc.
• None: Provides no interfacing capabilities.
Note:
Only the USB
or
the serial cable can be used at one time; you cannot use both at once. Thus, either
USB Format
or
Serial Format
must be set to
None
.
