Garmin GPS to XLe Application Note

Overview
The HE200GPS183 GPS Receiver (GPS183) is an OCS accessory that provides a variety of GPS data to the control system with a high degree of accuracy. GPS stands for “Global Positioning System” – which consists of a set of earthorbiting satellites and ground stations. GPS allows a portable receiver to calculate with a high degree of accuracy its current position, time, velocity, etc.

The GPS183 uses NMEA0183 protocol – which is a standard established by the National Marine Educators Association. The GPS183 utilizes RS-232 for data communications, and is powered by 5Vdc. Most OCS models (NX, LX, QX) provide an appropriate 5V output on their serial ports. The XLe does not feature a 5V output – it requires an external 5V, 60mA power supply to power the GPS183.
