Garmin 196 Guida Utente

If you are going to interface the GPSMAP 196 with another piece 

of equipment (such as a radar or autopilot), the unit needs to be 

set to output NMEA data. The NMEA data transmission can be 

customized to keep the output rate at two seconds. If too many 

NMEA sentences are selected the unit can take longer than two 

seconds to update. 

1.  Press 

MENU twice to open the Main Menu. 

2.  Use the 

ROCKER to select Setup from the vertical tab list. 

3.  Select 

Interface from the row of tabs along the top.

4.  Highlight the field below 

Serial Data Format. Press ENTER. 

5.  Select 

NMEA In/NMEA Out. Press ENTER. 

6.  Press 

MENU to open the options menu. Select Advanced 

NMEA Setup, and press ENTER.

The Advanced NMEA Output Setup Page allows you to change the 

precision of the Lat/Lon minutes, set Waypoint IDs to names or 

numbers, as well as turn on and off the GPS status, the GARMIN 

Proprietary sentences, and Waypoint/Route (WPL, RTE).
