Appendix
NMEA 2000
GPSMAP 4000/5000 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 4000/5000 series chartplotter to an existing NMEA 2000 network and to see a list of
supported NMEA 2000 PGN numbers, see the GPSMAP 4000/5000 Series Installation Instructions.
