NMEA 2000
GPSMAP 700 series chartplotters are NMEA 2000 certified and can receive data from a NMEA 2000 network
installed on the boat to show specific information, such as depth, speed, water temperature, wind speed and
direction, and engine data.
You can also name your engines and tanks so that you can better identify their location on the boat.
To connect a GPSMAP 700 series chartplotter to an existing NMEA 2000 network and to see a list of
supported NMEA 2000 PGN numbers, see the
GPSMAP 700 Series Installation Instructions
