NOTE
The GPS system is based on a geodetic system called WGS-84. In conventional world map, one
coordinate system differs from others with region, and this causes the position fix made on the map
and GPS measurement to differ to a certain extent.

This port is general data output port. Output data is selected by the menu among the output of
IEC 61162-1,NMEA Ver.1.5, CIF, and SHIPMATE. Output signal level is RS-422.
(DATA 2 port)
When CW-376/391 are used.
This port is data input/output port for DGPS beacon receiver. If a DGPS receiver is not connected,
it can be used as a data output port for extension, but unlike the DATA port, output is possible only
for IEC 61162-1. Output signal level is RS-422.

12.1 Changing to the EXTERNAL mode.......................................................12-1
0093121662-06 Contents
KGP-920 is provided with a mode having capability to communicate with external system such as
ECDIS and can take in route data from the interfaced external system.
Then KGP-920 can work on the same route as the external system does.
If a route is transferred to KGP-920 from the external system before voyage, KGP-920 can play a role
as back up system in case of failed external system by any reason. While the external system is in
working navigation mode, the working route information is automatically transferred to KGP-920 and
KGP-920 navigates on the same route as the external system does.
In order to utilize this function, connection between KGP-920 and an external system should be
established by a connecting cable according to the operation manual (Page 69 and 70 interconnecting
Diagram).
A small E is displayed at the end of the way point identifier to show KGP-920 is in external mode.
Route identifier shows maximum leading 5 characters of the original route name while waypoint
identifier shows maximum leading 6 characters of the original waypoint name.
