Hi, I've a simrad ap24 with ac12 controller and at10 interface to nmea 0183.
I've linked correctly my garmin 220 map gps, but it only transfers speed to the AUTOPILOT. What'is the problem? I try to link also my gps 72 but It doesn't work.
Anyone help me?
I think that the problem is about NMEA protocol 3.1 because my gps hasen't it.
Please send me solution....
I don't know, Andrea; it may be the particular NMEA 0183 understood and/or transmitted by the Garmin 220. I think it is about 15 years old, right? I believe the AT10 is capable of sending a go-to-waypoint message to your AP24 and the Garmin should be getting at least Heading.
I just experimented with an AT10 and a Tacktick wireless wind vane, display, and 0183 box. The N2k system got the wind data fine, and the Tacktick displays got heading, depth, COG/SOG, and STW from the N2K system.
Thankyou for your reply, the GARMIN 220 Is very old, and I try to connect on the box a new GARMIN GPSMAP76. I communicate you the result and I hope to resolve....
Andrea,
The good thing is you have at least one item coming through. That means that your physical, electrical and serial configuration is OK.
Now for the NMEA content. Most older GPS have a menu that allows you to define which NMEA 0183 sentences should be transmitted. Unfortunately the GPSMAP 220 only allows you to set the NMEA sentence level, and the highest that it supports is NMEA 0183 V2.0. Try that.
The GPSMAP 220 does not support NMEA input, so you can't send heading or other nav data to it.
See the manual at Garmin: http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/130_OwnersManual.pdf pages 52 & 53.
