The GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter is packaged with the necessary NMEA 2000 connectors and cable to either connect a GPSMAP
6000/7000 series chartplotter and a GPS 17x antenna to your existing NMEA 2000 network, or to build a basic NMEA 2000 network. For more
information on NMEA 2000, visit www.garmin.com.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, be sure to read the “NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals” chapter of the Technical Reference for
Garmin NMEA 2000 Products on the included CD or click on the “Manuals” hyperlink on the product page for your chartplotter at www.
garmin.com. For example, www.garmin.com/products/GPSMAP7212/.

If your boat already has a NMEA 2000 network installed, use the included T-connectors and drop cable to connect a GPSMAP 6000/7000 series
chartplotter and a GPS 17x antenna to the existing network.
Notice
If you have an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, it should already be connected to power. Do not connect the included NMEA 2000
power cable to an existing NMEA 2000 network.
