14.5. Configuration of multiple tank level measurements via NMEA2000-out for
Garmin MFDs
Modern Garmin MFDs such as the GPSMAP 84xx series are capable of displaying different types of tank levels.
The following restrictions apply:
1. Currently, the GPSMAP can only display Fuel (default), Fresh Water, Waste Water aka Grey Water, Live Well, Oil, Black
Water and Generator fluid types. The other fluid types such as LNG, LPG and Diesel are not displayed. This is a Garmin
limitation, which may change with a future firmware updates of your MFD.
However, it is possible to configure a specific tank sender's fluid type in the GX device menu to one of the supported ones,
and then rename the tank in the GPSMAP tank settings to whatever you like, e.g. LPG, which is then displayed as LPG tank
on the dashboard.
