[Rhodes22-list] Boat Name Letter /Handheld GPS

Sun Feb 1 12:13:50 EST 2009

The Garmin technical support folks are very helpful.  They suggested a
better way to connect to DSC VHF than their manual described, although I
don't remember it.

Tom,
The GPS instruction s should describe the wiring.  Lacking a manual, look on
the web, and if nowhere else, the accessory sub-site should accomplish the
same.  As I recall, the power wires are red/black, data is brown, maybe a
data ground, also a 'ready to send' wire.  A plotter usually supplies a raw
harness for other GPS tasks, but I use redundancy for cross-checking the
position information.
