Can a TZT16F send route ETA onto the N2K network?

Is there a setting that would allow the TZT16F to publish the route arrival time onto the NMEA 2000 network?

The only ETA it sends is the ETA to the next waypoint, but not the ETA to complete the route. I already set the 711C autopilot to have NavNet2 turned off, which should cause the chartmaster to send route data over N2k. I want to read arrival time for fuel management (to estimate how many gallons of fuel will be burned to reach the destination).

Thanks.
 
The PGN 129285 only outputs the info on the next 3 points in the route. None of the nav PGN's 129283, 129284, or 129285 output the total route TTA (Total Time of Arrival) to the last point in the route. You can view the information in LISTS -> Active Route Detail, but it is not output in a PGN

@Titanic II Thanks, I appreciate the reply. I'm building an external utility that pulls data from the N2K network. It includes a fuel manager, so I was hoping to have it compute total fuel burn to reach the destination. Looks like that won't be possible. I can still compute range to empty and time to empty, so I guess that'll have to do.

ChatGPT suggested maybe the NMEA 0183 sentences might contain the entire route. Do you know if that's true?
