[DG] [DG11] e7 - PGN

[Derek - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hi Josh,

The minimum (required) message set depends on what functionality is required, so they are not normally specified.
The PGN alone defines the message and the details can’t be published (NMEA license).

129025 and 129026 are not sufficient on their own.
129029 is also required, because it tell us that the fix is valid or not and we won’t accept position data unless we know that the source has a ‘fix’.

129026 is required for COG SOG, 129026 should also be ignored if the fix is not valid (from 129029).

If al these PGNs are being transmitted and are of the correct format, ( for details ask NMEA) you may try to do an MDS configuration within the e7 to select (tell the Raymarine system to use) a third party GPS, even though the 3rd party GPS itself doesn’t support MDS.

Regards
Derek
