MENU

The ‘INTERFACE’ file tab provides the following input/output settings:

• Aviation In—the proprietary format used for connection to a GARMIN panel-mounted GPS

receiver. Allows GOTO or route selection on the panel-mounted GPS receiver to be automatically
displayed on the GPSMAP 295. This eliminates the need to enter the destination on both units.

• GARMIN—the proprietary format used to exchange waypoint, route, track log data with a PC.

The format used for database updates and to save optional MapSource CD-ROM data to an
installed data cartridge (also optional).

• GARMIN DGPS—the proprietary format used to receive differential corrections from a GARMIN

DGPS Beacon Receiver and automatically scan/tune beacon frequencies.

• NMEA OUT—supports the input/output of standard NMEA 0183 version 2.30 data.
• Text Out—supports a standardized, fixed-column ASCII output with data for position, track,

speed, etc.

• RTCM In—allows Differential GPS (DGPS) input using a standard RTCM SC-104 format, without

any output capabilities.

• RTCM In/NMEA Out—allows DGPS input using a standard RTCM format and also provides

NMEA 0183 version 2.30 output.

• RTCM In/Text Out—allows DGPS input using a standard RTCM format and also provides a

standardized, fixed-column ASCII output with data for position, track, speed, etc.

• None—provides no interfacing capabilities.
