YEOMAN Sport 31
8.2.2 Special considerations
There are a few important points to consider when sending
Waypoints to a GPS and some checks are worthwhile:
• Is the GPS capable of receiving Waypoints from another
piece of equipment? Does it have an input port and, if
so, does it accept the correct data? Please consult your
GPS handbook, your dealer or YEOMAN.
• Are the connections correct? Refer to Section 14.
• Some GPS allow their Waypoints to be overwritten - in
the same way as YEOMAN does and some do not.
• Some GPS do not change the displayed Waypoint on
entry from YEOMAN. Scroll the GPS display away from
Waypoint entered and then scroll back to view the new
Waypoint position.
• Waypoint 00 is never transmitted.
• The YEOMAN can be set to append 100 to 900 to
Waypoint numbers (i.e. Waypoint 12 can be sent as 112)
to write into specific Waypoint banks on some GPS units.
See Section 11.1.1 for details.
8.3 Autopilot output (YEOMAN GPS Sport XL only)
Provided that the YEOMAN GPS Sport XL is receiving position
then output is sent out to drive an autopilot.
To do this set or select an end Waypoint with number anything
except 00. Once this destination Waypoint is selected then
use the # key to move on from the Waypoint page. At this
point the run-line to be followed is set between the current
GPS position and the selected destination Waypoint. Autopilot
information will then start to be transmitted while the GPS is
still obtaining a valid fix.
