6-4 GPS redirection (GPS REDIR)

GPS redirection option set to output the GPS information to the chartplotter eliminating the need for an additional multiplexer.

If “yes” is selected, the string $RMC will be redirected to the chartplotter once it is received.

Note: The REDIR function will only redirect RMC and GLL messages from NMEA 0183 input port to the AIS output port.
