• To set the upper limit of the gauge higher than the rated

maximum, select Scale Max..

Select the limit value.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 to set additional gauge limits.

Communications Settings

NOTE: Some settings and options require additional charts or

hardware.

Select Settings > Communications.

Serial Port: Sets the input/output format for the serial port to

use when connecting the chartplotter to external NMEA

devices, computers, or other Garmin devices.

NMEA 0183 Setup: Sets the NMEA 0183 sentences the

chartplotter transmits, how many digits to the right of the

decimal point are transmitted in a NMEA output, and how

waypoints are identified

NMEA 2000 Setup: Allows you to view and label the devices on

the NMEA 2000 network

Marine Network: Allows you to view the devices with which you

are sharing maps, sonar, or radar. Not available on all

chartplotter models.

NOTE: You can only view networked data on a model that

supports that data. For example, you cannot view networked

radar on model that does not support radar.

NMEA 0183

The chartplotters support the NMEA 0183 standard, which is

used to connect various NMEA 0183 devices, such as VHF

radios, NMEA instruments, autopilots, wind sensors, and

heading sensors.

To connect the chartplotter to optional NMEA 0183 devices, see

the chartplotter installation instructions.

The approved NMEA 0183 sentences for the chartplotter are

GPAPB, GPBOD, GPBWC, GPGGA, GPGLL, GPGSA, GPGSV,

GPRMB, GPRMC, GPRTE, GPVTG, GPWPL, GPXTE, and

Garmin proprietary sentences PGRME, PGRMM, and PGRMZ.

This chartplotter also includes support for the WPL sentence,

DSC, and sonar NMEA 0183 input with support for the DPT

(depth) or DBT, MTW (water temperature), and VHW (water

temperature, speed, and heading) sentences.

NMEA 0183 Settings

Select Settings > Communications > NMEA 0183 Setup.

Sounder: Enables NMEA 0183 output sentences for the

sounder (if applicable).

Route: Enables NMEA 0183 output sentences for routes.

System: Enables NMEA 0183 output sentences for system

information.

Garmin: Enables NMEA 0183 output sentences for Garmin

proprietary sentences.

Posn Precision: Adjusts the number of digits to the right of the

decimal point for transmission of NMEA output.

Waypoint IDs: Sets the device to transmit waypoint names or

numbers via NMEA 0183 while navigating. Using numbers

may resolve compatibility issues with older NMEA 0183

autopilots.

Diagnostics: Displays NMEA 0183 diagnostic information.

Defaults: Restores the NMEA 0183 settings to the original

factory defaults.
