If interfacing the aera with another piece of equipment (such as an autopilot), the
unit needs to be set to output NMEA data. If the NMEA output mode is set to ‘Fast’,
the unit will output a minimum number of NMEA sentences at 1-second intervals. If
the NMEA output is set to ‘Normal’, the unit will output a greater number NMEA
sentences as 2-second intervals.
Setting NmEA output mode:
1) From the 'Home' Screen, touch Tools > Setup > Interface.
2) Touch Serial data Format. A vertical list is displayed.
3) Touch 'NmEA Out'.
4) Touch NmEA Output mode to toggle between 'Normal' or 'Fast'.
