OK Pete,
Now I have a road to go further in this adventure, thanks!
"Why no feed in simulation mode? Well suppose the autopilot followed a
simulated signal? There are plenty of people out there who are stupid
enough to sit and let it!"
But there is a warning " do not use simulation mode for navigation purposes"...

The 496 feed is there all the time when it has a valid signal. The over a
speed bit is only for recording airborne time on Garmin as far as I am
aware.

Pete,
thats good to know, thanks. Strange why there is not?
I have to obviously find an external antenna with 30 feet cabel to see real
satellites and test NMEA trafic.
***What about Garmin NMEA then when GPS unit is not moving actually any
knots?
For example King KLN-XX models will not output a valid data link signal
until a certain groundspeed has been attained.
Wanna be sure about my connections before closing my panel.
It has been said many times but again: this forum is great. And fast!

Hi Raimo
There is non from my 496 in simulation mode so I would assume the 296 is the
same.

All who have been there
I am just now connecting my autopilot (Trio) to GPS (Garmin 296).
Doing it in a hangar - no seenable satellites.
Question: when GPS is in a simulation mode, is there NMEA 0183 data out
then?
I have tried data out 1 /violet wire /com 1 and data out 2 /blue wire /com 2
but "No GPS" message in autopilots display. Tried also all the possible
NMEA "advanced settings".
Any ideas? Should I find an oscilloscope? Cannot go out to find real
satellites...
Thanks, Raimo
