In the latest version of the insallation manual it states on page 7-3 that the power, ground and TX wires need to be connected to both displays, but the RX to only one display. However, in figure 45 on page 7-3 it shows the RX connected to both displays. Am I missing something or is this a typo?

With the new 2.6 software update serial out can be from both displays as per the docs. However, I think the SV-GPS-250 is serial data out only device so connecting the RX to either/both displays does nothing. You might want to connect both just in case that changes in the future.

It look's like there is a typo there. ALL serial devices, including the GPS, should have both TX and RX lines to the serial ports on all displays. With the GPS, this is less critical since SkyView doesn't currently transmit to the Dynon GPS, and we don't currently expect that this will change, either, though anything is possible.
