Using The Marine Network - Garmin GPSMAP 4000 Series Owner's Manual

The Garmin Marine Network allows you to share data from Garmin peripheral devices between
Garmin chartplotters quickly and easily. The GPSMAP 4000 Series units as well as the GPSMAP
5000 series units and previous Garmin Marine Network compatible chartplotter models (such as the
GPSMAP 3010) can be connected to your network to share data. With the Garmin Marine Network,
you can:
• Share GPS data from a GPS 17 antenna wired to one chartplotter with every chartplotter
connected to the Marine Network.
• Share NMEA 0183 data from devices wired to one chartplotter with every chartplotter
connected to the Marine Network.
NOTE: Both the GPS 17 and any NMEA 0183 devices must be connected to the same chartplotter
to achieve the best results when sharing data over the Garmin Marine Network.
NOTE: If you are using a GSD 21 wired to a GPSMAP 3000 series chartplotter, the data will be
shared with any GPSMAP 4000 series chartplotters connected to the network. All GSD 21 settings
must be configured on the GPSMAP 3000 series chartplotter. A GSD 21 cannot be wired to a
GPSMAP 4000 series chartplotter.
• Share data from Garmin Marine Network devices connected to any chartplotter in the Marine
Network or a GMS 10 Marine Network Port Expander with every other chartplotter connected
to the Marine Network. These devices include:
• GSD 22 digital sounder— provides sonar data when connected to the Garmin Marine Network and
an appropriate transducer. Sonar data is shared by all chartplotters on the network.
GMR 21/41 Radome; GMR 18 Radome; and GMR 404/406 Open Array Radar—provide radar
•
data when connected to the Garmin Marine Network. Radar data is shared by all chartplotters on the
network.
• GDl 30/GDl 30A—provides XM Weather and XM Radio data when connected to the Garmin
Marine Network. XM Weather data is shared by all chartplotters on the network. Connect the GDL
30A (GDL 30A only - the GDL 30 unit provides only weather) to the audio input source on your
boat to listen to XM audio. The station can be changed by any chartplotter on the network.
NOTE: Currently, the XM Satellite service is only available in North America. Any functions of the
GDL 30/30A will only function when used in North America.
• Share BlueChart g2 Vision cartography data from an SD card inserted in one GPSMAP
4000/5000 series chartplotter with every GPSMAP 4000/5000 series chartplotter connected to
the Marine Network.
NOTE: BlueChart g2 Vision cartography is only compatible with
chartplotters
. Previous Garmin Marine Network compatible chartplotter models (such as the
GPSMAP 3010) can be connected to your network, but they cannot share BlueChart 2g Vision data.
• Transfer waypoint, route and track information from one chartplotter connected to the Garmin
Marine Network to every other chartplotter connected to the Marine Network. The data can
be cloned from one chartplotter to every other connected chartplotter, or the data from every
chartplotter can be merged and shared with every connected chartplotter.
