Port 1

• Garmin Data Transfer—the proprietary format used to upload or

download MapSource data, exchange waypoint, route, track, and proximity

data with a computer or another Garmin unit. When you select Garmin

Data Transfer, you can choose from nine Garmin Data Transfer Modes.

• NMEA In/NMEA Out—supports the input or output of standard NMEA

0183 data, DSC, and sonar NMEA input support for the DPT, MTW, and

VHW sentences. You can also adjust the NMEA output.

NMEA high Speed—supports the input or output of standard 0183 data

for most AIS receivers.

• None—provides no interfacing capabilities.

Port 2

NMEA In/NMEA Out—supports the input or output of standard NMEA

0183 data, DSC, and sonar NMEA input support for the DPT, MTW, and

VHW sentences. You can also adjust the NMEA output.

• None—provides no interfacing capabilities.

You can also adjust the NMEA output to enable or disable certain sentences and

adjust the number of lat/lon output precision digits. You must have one of the

ports set to NMEA In/NMEA Out to use this option. Settings affect both Port 1

and Port 2 NMEA outputs.

NMEA Interface

If you are going to use the GPSMAP 2206/2210 with a NMEA device (such as

a radio or autopilot), the unit needs to be set to input/output NMEA data. See

the GPSMAP 2206/2210 & GPS 17 Installation Instructions for information on

wiring and NMEA data.

To activate the NMEA data:

1. Highlight the

Port 1 or Port 2 field, and press ENTER.

2. Highlight

NMEA In/NMEA Out, and press ENTER.

When transferring data between two Garmin units, always set one to host and

use the other unit to send or request the data.

Advanced NMEA Output Setup

The GPSMAP 2206/2210 NMEA data transmission can be customized to change

the precision of the lat/lon minutes, set up the waypoint IDs, and keep the

output rate at two seconds. If the unit is set up to output all of the available

NMEA sentences, the output rate may exceed two seconds.
