I have a trutrak pictorial pilot and a garmin 496 feeding it the nema. Before I had the 496 I had a 396 with the same problem.
Everything works great except while the AP is in NAV mode if I scroll the map on the gps it will disconnect the nav mode and go into heading mode. Sometimes it does this without even messing with the GPS. I think that the gps processor is just getting overwhelmed and it stops the NEMA data for a second which disconnects the NAV mode on the AP. Does anyone have a Garmin 296 396 or 496 working correctly with a trutrak autopilot? Could I have a EMI problem? Any help would be great!
Thanks a bunch,
