NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000
A GPSMAP 700 series chartplotter can accept data from both NMEA 0183-compliant devices and certain
NMEA 2000 devices connected to an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat.
NMEA 0183
The NMEA 0183 data cable included with each GPSMAP 700 series chartplotter supports the NMEA
0183 standard, which is used to wire various NMEA 0183-compliant devices, such as VHF radios, NMEA
instruments, autopilots, wind sensors, and heading sensors.
To wire the GPSMAP 700 series chartplotter to optional NMEA 0183-compliant devices, see the GPSMAP
700 Series Installation Instructions.
