Hi good people,
New to posting so be gentle.
Looking for a bit of advise on the following if anybody has done it, or knows how to do.
Currently, I have my Furuno 585 connected to my handheld Garmin 76C via the power data cord, which works a treat once I had configured it. - Thanks to Chop who supplied info.
But I have two issues with the installation:
One with 12volt power to the GPS - not powerering up on 12volt, still battery cycle.
The second- getting another set of data out to the Icom 422 radio.
I connected my Icom 422 Radio up during the installation to utilize the NMEA 0183 and GPS positioning function but I must of got a wire arse about. (used another set of coloured wires in the cable bundle from info I sourced from the net) and hence no data is being displayed on the radio re GPS positon.
What info I am chasing is which colour wires do you hook up to get a second NMEA reading to the VHF radio.
The cable I have feeding the GPS is the common garmin power data cable.
The GPS unit will support up to three if not two, I think 0183 devices.
So has anybody done it and would be willing to pass on the info of just what wire colour does what on the Garmin power / data cable and make me a happy chappy.
thanks for your time.
