The MFD can interface with several types of GPS/FMS systems. Table 16 on page 39 lists the GPS/
FMS systems that can interface with the MFD. Table 16 includes information about data formats
available and GPS configurations.
Use the matrix as a general guideline only. GPS manufacturers are constantly improving and

upgrading their products. Always refer to the Installation Manuals that come with the GPS/
FMS to confirm configuration and setup parameters. Additionally, keep in mind that not all
GPS configurations can be used with all aircraft.
There are two interface configurations that the MFD uses to connect with the GPS:
●
GAMA 429

EX5000 MFDs support both GAMA 429 and RS-232. However, GAMA 429 Graphics is the only
configuration from the GPS capable of providing heading information if the GPS is being used as the
heading source (see Section 5.12, "Map Setup" on page 79 for a complete explanation on setting up
the various heading configurations within the MFD).
