I'm hooking up the Garmin 296 to the electrical system -- done, got good power on it -- and making arrangements to get data out of it and into the TruTrak single-axis autopilot that I have. Stein (or more likely, Mike) made a pretty harness for it.
Anyway, there is a blue wire coming out of the Garmin which is Port 1 out. And there is a violet wire coming out of the Garmin, which is Port 2 out.
The question is: Is the data coming out of each port the same data? Or is there one particular wire (port) that needs to connect to the (in this case, blue) GPS wire on SteinAir's lovely TruTrak harness?
BTW, I'm running the Garmin harness into a(female) DSub connector
