Using the GMI 10
Use the GMI 10 to view numerical
data provided by connected sensors.
Many data types can also be
displayed as an analog gauge.
The types of data available
are determined by the sensors
connected to the GMI 10 either
through NMEA 2000 or
NMEA 0183.
For example, when connected to a
GPS antenna such as a GPS 17x,
the GMI 10 can show GPS
position, GPS heading (COG),
GPS speed (SOG), average speed,
maximum speed obtained, and
distance traveled (trip odometer)
information.
