Regarding the new NMEA feature (aka, Autopilot output), you will need a USB to Serial cable to use this feature. Is the nema output strictly a steering function or will it interface with fuel computers?

Walter,

I installed version 5 yesterday to take a look at the new features. Installation was simple and quick. The enhancements are much appreciated! I especially like the extended runway feathers and night modes. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! - Alon Wood

"Regarding the new NMEA feature (aka, Autopilot output), you will need a USB to Serial cable to use this feature."

I assume this is a standard USB to 9pin DSUB serial cable. Which pin # is used for the NMEA output?

Yes, DB9 Male serial cable. Pin 3 is the the transmission line.

You can use this for any device that accepts an NMEA feed. We have 2 default modes "Normal" and "Extended". "Normal" is just the basic position data at 4800 baud, "Extended" includes course information and sends at 9600 baud. But you can also select "Custom" and pick from a tall list of supported sentences, and configure your baud as desired.
