NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000

A GPSMAP 4000 series chartplotter can accept data from both NMEA 0183 compliant devices and
certain NMEA 2000 devices connected to an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat.
NMEA 0183
The NMEA 0183 data cable included with GPSMAP 4000 series chartplotters supports the NMEA
0183 standard, which is used to wire various NMEA 0183-compliant devices, such as VHF radios,
NMEA instruments, autopilots, wind sensors, and heading sensors.
The GPSMAP 4000 series chartplotter can receive data from up to four NMEA 0183-compliant
devices and send GPS data to up to six NMEA 0183-compliant devices.
To wire the GPSMAP 4000 series unit to optional NMEA 0183-compliant devices, see the GPSMAP
