NMEA 2000

 Considerations

NOTICE

If you are connecting this device to an existing NMEA 2000 

network, the NMEA 2000 network should already be connected 

to power. Do not connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to an 

existing NMEA 2000 network, because only one power source 

should be connected to a NMEA 2000 network.
If you are connecting this device to an existing NMEA 2000 

network or engine network by another manufacturer, you should 

install a NMEA 2000 Power Isolator (010-11580-00) between 

the existing network and the Garmin devices.
If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must 

connect it to the boat ignition switch or through another in-line 

switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain your battery if the NMEA 

2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly.

NOTE: 

NMEA 2000 is not available on all models.

NMEA 2000 compatible models can connect to a NMEA 2000 

network on your boat to share data from NMEA 2000 compatible 

devices such as sensors or a VHF radio. The necessary NMEA 

2000 cables and connectors are sold separately.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the 

“NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals” chapter of the 

Technical 

Reference for NMEA 2000 Products

. To download this 

document, go to 

www.garmin.com

 and select Manuals on the 

product page for your device.
The port labeled NMEA 2000 on the cradle is used to connect it 

to a standard NMEA 2000 network.
