Adam F Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Help? Just installing the toys on to OotB, but I cant get the Garmin 2010 Plotter to talk to the Icom 422 VHF. The installation diagram for the 2010 is complex but doesnt explicitly show the NMEA connections - it just shows Port 1 in and out, Port 2 in and out and Port 3 in and out. I have tried all ports, and I have made sure the 2010 is set to NMEA out and in. I have checked the software updates and they are all current and match the requirements of each unit.. Now I'm stumped - any ideas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hi Adam Looking at the Garmin & Icom wiring diagrams, I would suggest that Port 2 out (Grey) is connected to NMEA In (Red) lead on VHF If you want to see where the person you are calling is on the plotter connect the NMEA Out (White) lead on the VHF to Port 1 in (Brown) Testing the unit would be easy to see if the VHF picks up the GPS signal but you would need someone near to check the position indicator plus their name in your buddy list.

Adam F Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Bob F has sorted it - it was quite simple. I was connecting to the shield wire, not the inner core - sounds stupid yes, but I had never seen this shielded cable before. Cheers Bob - all toys now well on the way to being fitted - maiden launch not far away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
