GPSMAP 700 Series Installation Instructions
Connecting the Chartplotter to a NMEA 2000 Network (optional)
You can connect the GPSMAP 700 series chartplotter to your existing NMEA 2000 network. You will need the appropriate NMEA 2000 cables
and connectors, either to connect the chartplotter to your existing NMEA 2000 network or to build a NMEA 2000 network if you do not have
one installed on your boat. Contact your local Garmin dealer.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, read the “NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals” chapter of the Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA
2000 Products. The document is located on the included CD and on the NMEA 2000 section of the Garmin Web site at
