GPS connected to Serial Port on AF-3500sMFD?

[shuttle]

Hi Trevor,

In an AF-3500EE/AF-3500sMFD setup am I correct in thinking that I can safely connect a GPS to a Serial Port on the MFD and have it function across both screens?

Here's what I am trying to do (with some of the reasoning as to why):
On the AF-3500EE:-
- Serial Port #1 - Connect a Garmin 695 GPS (Primary GPS)
- Serial Port #2 - DISABLED - Leave free (manual says it does not support connection of GPS)
- Serial Port #3 - Connect a Garmin 296 GPS (backup off-panel GPS)
- Serial Port #4 - Connect AF-ARINC Module to support AF-Pilot

On the AF-3500sMFD
- Serial Port #1 - Connect the internal GPS NMEA output from a Trutrak ADI (it's there so why not)
- Serial Port #2 - DISABLED
- Serial Port #3 - DISABLED
- Serial Port #4 - DISABLED

Grateful if you can confirm that my reading of your manual is correct.

Just FYI, here's the current state of my panel on my dining room table.



Thanks,
