NMEA Connection

If you do not plan to use the SeaTalk interface, you can use this port to
interface the RayChart with other equipment capable or receiving/
transmitting data to the NMEA 0183 standard (see Appendix A).
Note: In this case, you must connect your position fixer via this port, not
via the dedicated GPS port.

Printer Connection

If you connect a printer to your RayChart, you can print any display,
including charts, routes and waypoint details. The RayChart supports
baud rates in the range 300 to 9600.
Refer to your printer manual for connection and setup information.
Note: A printer can also be connected for any mode, except when
using NMEA output. If you connect a printer and select the "GPS" or
"EXT. NMEA" connection option, you will need to turn off your printer
before turning off the RayChart, or NMEA data will be repeated to the
printer.

GPS Connection

You can connect your GPS position fixer via any of the RayChart
connectors (SeaTalk, GPS or Power/NMEA), depending on how you
have decided to set up your system (see Section 7.3).
