• NMEA In/NMEA Out – supports the input/output of standard NMEA 0183 data, DSC, and sonar
NMEA input support for the DPT, MTW and VHW sentences. You may also adjust the NMEA
output.
• None – provides no interfacing capabilities.
Port 2:
• NMEA In/NMEA Out – supports the input/output of standard NMEA 0183 data, DSC, and sonar
NMEA input support for the DPT, MTW and VHW sentences. You may also adjust the NMEA
output.
• None – provides no interfacing capabilities.
You may also adjust the NMEA output to enable/disable certain sentences and adjust the number of
Lat/Lon output precision digits. You must have one of the ports set to NMEA In/NMEA Out to use this
option. Settings affects both Port 1 and Port 2 NMEA outputs.
NMEA Interface
If you are going to interface the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C with another piece of equipment (such as a
radio or autopilot), the unit needs to be set to input/output NMEA data. More information on wiring and
NMEA data may be found in the Installation Manual.
To activate the NMEA data:
1. On either Port fi eld and press ENTER.
2. Select ‘NMEA In/NMEA Out’ and press ENTER.
Advanced NMEA Output Setup
The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C NMEA data transmission can be customized to change the precision of
the Lat/Lon minutes, set up the waypoint IDs, and keep the output rate at two seconds. If the unit is set
up to output all of the available NMEA sentences, the output rate may exceed two seconds. The ‘Advanced
NMEA Output Setup’ page allows you to turn on/off the GPS status (GSA. GSV), Waypoint/Route (WPL,
RTE), and the Garmin Proprietary sentences. Check any other equipment’s owners manual to see what
sentences are required to be enabled for functionality.
When transferring data between two
Garmin units, be sure to always set one
to ‘Host’ and use the other unit to either
Send or Request the desired data.
