The J13 DB-9 (Female on backpanel) connector (below the J7 drive connector) provides a “GPS loopout”
interface. Another device (such as a TDMA modem) may listen to the output of the GPS receiver in order
to obtain latitude, longitude, height, time, etc. The pinout of J13 is identical to the GPS DB-9 connector
shown above.

Rather than having the DB-37 connector, there is an individual DB-9 Female (J13) for the GPS interface
and an individual DB-9 Female (J9) for the compass. The pinouts of these connectors will be as shown
above for the DB9s.
