apollo not NMEA!

["Gregory W. Ratcliff" <gwr@edaind.com>]

I got this message back today from ups/apollo when I tried to
hook Vista (Moving map stuff) up to the serial port on the GX55.

Arggh---I'm thinking this guy doesn't know what he's talking about,
but the fact is, after sniffing the data from the GX55 it doesn't 
look like NMEA much (compared to the foster loran and my
delorme tripmate)

Anyone have a GX-55?

The GX-55 does NOT send out NMEA serial data.  That format is a marine
format which is not used in aviation units other than portable, handheld
devices which aren't certified for navigation.  All aviation units send an
ASCII format. You can find the actual format sent by going to our website,
http://www.upsat.com, and selecting "downloads" from the menu bar.  Once
there select the GX documentation and then the GX-55 Installation manual.
Open the manual and go to Appendix E where the complete format description
is explained.
