I have Dataline instruments installed on the boat, one of which is a Waypoint which essentially repeats information transmitted via NMEA from the GPS. Well I've just replaced the GPS because I had an old Phillips Mk8 which was constantly losing satellites and becoming a bit of a pain. I've replaced it with a Garmin 128 which grabs satellites quickly and hangs on to them like grim death. Problem is I can't seem to interface the Garmin with the Dataline instruments.
There are 2 inputs on the Dataline Databox labelled R Nav + and - (the old GPS was connected to these). Question is does the Garmin NMEA OUT go to the + and the NMEA IN to the -, or vice versa? I have tried connecting to both with no luck and gone through all the permutationsof NMEA/NMEA, NONE/NMEA etc. plus versions 1.5 and 2.0 and all the baud rates.
I have scoured the Dataline documentation for an answer but all it tells you is the sentences it accepts, which seem to be compatible with the Garmin.
Obviously I'm doing something very wrong but no idea what that is.
Any help very much appreciated.
