If your boat does not already have an existing NMEA 2000
network installed, you must create a basic NMEA 2000 network.

The optional Garmin Marine Network is a plug-and-play system that allows for high-speed data transfer between multiple Garmin chartplotters
and other network-compatible Garmin devices such as a Garmin sonar unit (GSD 22), or a Garmin radar (GMR™ 18 HD or GMR 1206 xHD).
The GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotters have three network ports that can be used to connect other Garmin network-compatible
chartplotters and devices. If the network requires more ports, use a Garmin Marine Network port extender (GMS 10), or another GPSMAP
6000/7000. Data from each connected component is shared by all the connected Garmin chartplotters.

• NMEA 0183 devices must all be wired to one chartplotter on the network. The data is then shared over the network to other connected
chartplotters.
• Connect all chartplotters to the NMEA 2000 network as well as to the Garmin Marine Network. NMEA 2000 data is not shared over the
Garmin Marine Network.
• Connect network components, such as a Garmin GMR radar or GSD sounder to any chartplotter on the network or to an optional GMS 10
Network Port Expander. Data is shared between all chartplotters on the network.
• BlueChart

g2 Vision
®
cartography data is shared between any connected GPSMAP 6000/7000 series and GPSMAP 4000/5000 series
chartplotter.
• Video inputs from the Marine Video cables are only viewable on the connected chartplotter.
• You can connect a GPSMAP 6000/7000 chartplotter to a Marine Network with a GPSMAP 3000 series chartplotter:
◦ They will share GPS position information as well as information to and from standard NMEA 0183 devices.
◦ They will share information from connected network compatible Garmin devices such as a sonar unit (GSD 22) or a radar (GMR 18 HD
or GMR 1206 xHD).
◦ Garmin GPSMAP 3000 series chartplotters cannot share cartography data with the GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotters.
• All network components must be connected to the power source of the boat according to their installation instructions. The following
diagrams show only the network connections, not power connections..
