NMEA Convert RMC to ZDA?

There shouldn't be any problem as long as it's wired correctly. RMC is the recommended minimum data stream for NEMA data and ZDA is just time and date. The expectation is that the units will ignore most of the RMC data stream and only pick off what it is capable of handling - which in this case would be time and date only (ZDA). I think that's how it works. Unless you have some sort of proprietary equipment that uses a hinky system. Here's a link that may help you out. http://www.gpsinformation.org/dale/nmea.htm#intro |
