Setting Decimal Precision for NMEA 0183 Output
You can adjust the number of digits to the right of the decimal point for transmission of NMEA
output.
1. From the Home screen, select
Congure > Communications > NMEA 0183 Setup > Posn.
Precision.
2. Select

Conguring Waypoint Identication
1. From the Home screen, select Congure > Communications > NMEA 0183 Setup > Waypoint
IDs.
2. Complete an action:
Select Names to transmit waypoint names via NMEA 0183 while navigating.
Select Numbers to transmit waypoint numbers while navigating. This option may resolve
compatibility with older NMEA 0183 autopilots.
Viewing NMEA 0183 Diagnostic Information
The NMEA 0183 Diagnostics screen is a troubleshooting tool used by installers to verify that NMEA
0183 data is being sent across the system.
From the Home screen, select Congure > Communications > NMEA 0183 Setup >
Diagnostics.
NMEA 2000
GPSMAP 700 series chartplotters are NMEA 2000 certied and can receive data from a NMEA
2000 network installed on the boat to show specic information, such as depth, speed, water
temperature, wind speed and direction, and engine data.
To connect a GPSMAP 700 series chartplotter to an existing NMEA 2000 network and to see a list
of supported NMEA 2000 PGN numbers, see the GPSMAP 700 Series Installation Instructions.
Viewing a List of NMEA 2000 Network Devices
You can view the devices connected to the NMEA 2000 network.
1. From the Home screen, select
Congure > Communications > NMEA2000 Device List.
2. Select a device for a list of options.
Selecting a Preferred Data Source
If more than one data source is available, you can select the data source you want to use.
1. From the Home screen, select
Congure > Communications > Preferred Sources.
2. Select a type of data.
3. Select
Change Source.
4. Select a data source.
Transmitting NMEA 0183 Data over a NMEA 2000 Network
You can turn on, congure, or turn off output bridging. Output bridging occurs when a chartplotter
takes NMEA 0183 data it receives from any source, formats it into NMEA 2000 data, and sends it
over the NMEA 2000 bus.
1. From the Home screen, select
Congure > Communications > Output Bridging.
