Looks like you would take: Radio Blue (+) Input to GPS Blue (Output) Radio Green (-) Input/Output to GPS Black (or both via the ground/-ve terminal of the battery Radio Purple (+) Output to GPS Brown (Input) (GPS wires on the power connection rather than the NMEA 2000 port) On GPS -- Home Screen / Configure / Communications Serial Port - NMEA Standard (COM 1) NMEA 0183 Sentence - ??Route??
That's what I've done yeah , what's sentence and route?
Have position on gps although I'm 3 mile from coast but can run it to my rnli station to check again (signal) just not getting why like standard horizon vhf manual says should have satelite icon on VHF once connected
It makes no difference if you are at the coast. You could be at the top of everest - if its got a pos on screen it should be able to send it to the SH.
I've never heard of setting a precision on NMEA till I read that. As I understand it the system will output something line 5501.0123, to mean 55degrees 01min decimal 0123 If the SH can only handle 55' 01.01 I'd expect it to drop that not the sender... (I think it should handle it anyway!)
Being honest I think the mmsi number needed entering! although manual for vhf stated once gps and VHF wired up together a satelite signal should appear it never did till I punched mmsi code in. In manual entering it comes 2pages after connection but it's sorted so no sweating now
Good to see you got your GPS and VHF hooked up Gramas. Would any of you guys have an idea about hooking up a Garmin 557xs to an Icom M423. I have got these units to fit, but have no idea about how to tie them together. Any info would be most welcome. cheers.
