1.6.4.3 GPS 17x HVS Protocol

•
NMEA 0183 Version 3.01 (the factory default version) is programmable by data field 7 of the PGRMC1
sentence described in
•
Available NMEA 0183 output sentences include GPALM, GPGGA, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPRMC, GPVTG,
GPGLL, PGRME, PGRMF, PGRMM, PGRMT, PGRMV, and PGRMB (Garmin proprietary sentences).
See section 4.2 Transmitted NMEA 0183 Sentences
•
Configuration and initialization is accomplished with NMEA 0183 input sentences. Allows initialization of
information such as expected position, date, time, earth datum, and differential mode. See
Received NMEA 0183 Sentences
•
Configurable for binary data output.
