Interfacing GNX 375 GPS/Transponder with G5 -
Obviously, I will wire it up as the manual says, but I'm curious about something -
The G5 install manual says the G5 will receive nav data on the can bus from the GAD 29B. Yet, a paragraph or two earlier, it says it will receive GPS data for aiding along RS-232... Why both? Redundancy? Separation of power? Checks and balance? ...oh, wait, those last two are something else that's failed these days...
