2.     select SELECT NMEA MESSAGES function
3.     Enable the NMEA output. The default output phrases are RMB and GGA.
 

 

The Geopilot II PLUS exports NMEA data (NMEA0183) and any autopilot that can receive NMEA data will communicate with the Geopilot II PLUS . We recommend consulting with your autopilot manufacturer to verify that the device accepts NMEA0183 data. A serial cable that will connect to the serial port on your Geopilot II PLUS (which has a DB9 connector that can be connected to your autopilot) is also available.

The EKP / Geopilot II PLUS will interface with any device (external GPS, etc.) that accepts NMEA0183 data. Please consult with the manufacturer of your device to verify that the device accepts NMEA0183.

Please note that RS232 devices will NOT communicate with the EKP / Geopilot II PLUS .

Exchange is not allowed. If you bought your AvMap Geopilot series II in the USA and you are interested in the European one, you must buy an extra Secure Digital loaded with European detailed terrestrial data plus Jeppesen database (Europe+Africa aeronautical data).

In any AvMap navigator, both the navigation software and the map data are preloaded on the memory card. The software update, however, is separate and apart from map data update.

Periodically, AvMap releases updates for the navigation software, free of charge. The software update concerns the navigation functions, messages and vocal instructions languages, menus, graphics, etc... Software Updates can be downloaded from the Support Section or through  the Geosat Suite.

The Map update on the other hand is not free. The updated data are released several times a year by our map providers and reworked and implemented by AvMap. When you update the maps, you update data such as street names, attributes and characteristics of the roads, one-ways, roundabouts, house numbers, points of interest, etc... The updates can be purchased on the AvMap shop online or through  the Geosat Suite.
