A NMEA 2000 network consists of connected NMEA 2000 devices that communicate using basic plug-and-play functionality. This technical
reference provides basic NMEA 2000 component identification, basic NMEA 2000 network-building instructions, and a list of NMEA 2000-
specific data used with Garmin NMEA 2000-certified displays and sensors.
•
The first section, NMEA 2000 Fundamentals, provides descriptions of the NMEA 2000 connectors and cables sold by Garmin, and the
fundamental concepts of installing a NMEA 2000 network on your boat.
•
The second section, General NMEA 2000 Data Type Requirements, provides a table to help you determine which NMEA 2000 sensors
provide the particular data type you want.
•
The last two sections provide Parameter Group Number (PGN) information for Garmin chartplotters and marine instruments as well as
configuration and PGN information for Garmin NMEA 2000 sensors. These sections contain PGN and configuration information for the
following products:
◦
