The Interface Settings Page

allows you to choose from

different input/output serial data

formats. This feature is used

when connecting to external

NMEA devices, a DGPS beacon

receiver, a personal computer,

etc. To use non-Garmin data formats, you must use the

Accessories section of this manual. Refer to your Garmin

Dealer or the Garmin web site (www.garmin.com) for
