2.11 Connection to NMEA2000 Network
NMEA2000 is the latest marine standard for data communication between
marine instruments. With a NMEA 2000 network onboard, a faster data
throughput, better transmission reliability and easy data sharing can be
realized.
The Smartfind M10 is equipped with a NMEA2000 interface with a
connection value of LEN=1. AIS targets received by the transponder will be
displayed on your chart plotter when both are connected to a NMEA2000
network with a compatible T-connector and drop cable, available from your
local service partner.
Smartfind M10 series works with GPS input from both NMEA 2000 and
NMEA 0183 to back up your external GPS antenna. The GPS input priority
is external GPS antenna
→
NMEA 0183
→
NMEA 2000.
When there are multiple GPS sources available on the NMEA 2000 bus,
the Smartfind M10 series will pick the source following the criteria below:

The source has the lowest device source address
 The source has a valid GPS position fix
