NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000
The GPSMAP 4000 series unit 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 the GPSMAP 4000/5000 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, or heading sensors.
The GPSMAP 4000 series unit can receive data from up to four NMEA 0183-compliant devices and
send GPS data to up to six NMEA 0183-compliant devices.
To wire the GPSMAP 4000 series unit to optional NMEA 0183-compliant devices, see the GPSMAP
4000/5000 series installation instructions.
Approved NMEA 0183 sentences:
GPBWC, GPRMC, GPGGA, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPGLL, GPBOD, GPRMB, GPRTE, GPVTG,
GPWPL, GPXTE, and Garmin proprietary sentences—PGRME, PGRMM, and PGRMZ.
This unit also includes support for the WPL sentence, DSC, and sonar NMEA 0183 input with
support for the DPT (depth) or DBT, MTW (water temp), and VHW (water temp, speed, and
heading) sentences.
NOTE: To congure how the unit sees these NMEA 0183 sentences, see page 36.
NMEA 2000
The GPSMAP 4000/5000 series unit is NMEA 2000 certied, and can receive data from a NMEA
2000 network installed on the boat to show engine specic information on the Gauges section of the
Information screen. Also, the unit can receive heading data from a heading sensor connected to an
installed NMEA 2000 network.
To connect the GPSMAP 4000 series unit to an existing NMEA 2000 network, see the GPSMAP
4000/5000 series installation instructions.
NMEA 2000 PGN information
The GPSMAP 4000/5000 series unit accepts the following PGN information from a NMEA 2000
network:
059392 = ISO acknowledgement
059904 = ISO request
060928 = ISO address Claim
126996 = Product information
127250 = Vessel heading
127488 = Engine parameters, rapid update (up to four engines)
127489 = Engine parameters, dynamic (up to four engines)
127505 = Fluid level (0X00 fuel - does not support other uid types)
All GPSMAP 4000/5000 series units are NMEA 2000 certied.
