[Flightgear-devel] NMEA *out* to a Garmin

[David Megginson]

Does anyone know if it's possible for a Garmin GPS to take its position 
information from external NMEA input, rather than just broadcasting the 
position as NMEA output?  I wanted to experiment with using my (brand-new) 
Garmin 196 slaved to FlightGear, but I have not had much luck yet.  This 
works to slave FlightGear to the GPS:

  --nmea=serial,in,20,/dev/ttyS0,4800

This, however, does not work to slave the GPS to FlightGear:

  --nmea=serial,out,4,/dev/ttyS0,4800

I selected the "NMEA IN/NMEA OUT" in the 196 menu.  I'd be interested in 
hearing from anyone who has used any Garmin receiver slaved to FlightGear 
(rather than the other way around).

All the best,

David
