Nmea 0183 And Nmea 2000 - Garmin GPSMAP 4212 Owner's Manual

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 chartplotter to optional NMEA 0183-compliant devices, see the
GPSMAP 4000/5000 Series Installation Instructions.

NMEA 2000
GPSMAP 4000 series chartplotters are NMEA 2000 certified, and can receive data from a NMEA
2000 network installed on the boat to show specific information on the Information screen, such as
depth, speed, water temperature, wind speed and direction, and engine data.
To connect a GPSMAP 4000 series chartplotter to an existing NMEA 2000 network and to see
a list of supported NMEA 2000 PGN numbers, see the GPSMAP 4000/5000 Series Installation
Instructions.
