Well, that's great Randy glad that I was of some help.

I've seen lots of guys on sailing email lists get bit by the same thing when interfacing instruments to Garmin.

Good luck.

That was it!

I downloaded the Garmin config program.
Updated the software on the GPS 18X LVC
Configured it for NMEA output.
And now it works, no error messages.

The Garmin protocol looks similar to NMEA so I didn't catch that there was a difference.

Thanks Robert!

Have you confirmed the GPS is set to output in NEMA format and not "Garmin"?
