NMEA INTERFACING WITH GPS
PLUS
The two sockets on the rear case of the GPSPlus display 
are NMEA input/output connectors for position fixing 
instruments, radar sets, autopilots and other devices 
requiring NMEA interfacing. The connectors allow bi-
directional data communication using the NMEA 0183 v1.5 
protocol. This allows input of positional data (latitude and 
longitude) and other position fixer information (e.g. satellite 
data) into the GPSPlus display unit for displaying, and 
output of control sentences (including waypoint data) to a 
position fixer. 
In a standard GPSPlus system the GPSPlus 
antenna/receiver unit uses the top connector, leaving the 
other for connection to a secondary NMEA device (e.g. a 
GPS, Loran-C or Decca receiver).
