Narrative:

Had departed eyw to X01 over water; VFR. Two GPS receivers were available -- was using a new GPS and had inadvertently turned off airspace warnings. When primary GPS was activated; realized aircraft had penetrated the atlantic coastal ADIZ. Made an immediate turn to exit the ADIZ; when clear; resumed course to X01. Problem arose because of unfamiliarity with new avionics and in-flight electronic equipment.
