Sending routes to C80

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

weisbergj,

Thanks for confirming that the MFD's NMEA 0183 I/O port is operational C-Series Classic MFDs operating with v5.16 C-Series Classic MFD software (i.e. the final C-Series Classic MFD software update) will support importing waypoints and routes at either 4800 or 38400 BAUD. Should the MFD not be operating with this version of software, then it is recommended that the MFD's software be updated accordingly.

While it is acknowledged that the port is operational, it has not been specifically indicated whether the MFD's buffer has been monitored during transmission from the third party PC navigation software product to verify that the MFD is receiving properly formatted NMEA 0183 WPL and RTE sentences. You may also want to consider examining the third party navigational software product's configuration settings to verify whether there is any manufacturer specific setting and if so, configure it to support communications with Raymarine equipment. Below is an example of NMEA 0183 WPL and RTE sentence transmission from a NMEA 0183 source.
