Appendix 
Configuring Waypoint Identification
1. From the Home screen, select  Configure > Communications > NMeA 0183 Setup > Waypoint IDs .
2.  Complete an action:
• Select  Names to transmit waypoint names via NMEA 0183 while navigating.
•  Select  Numbers to transmit waypoint numbers while navigating. This option may resolve compatibility 
with older NMEA 0183 autopilots.
Viewing NMEA 0183 Diagnostic Information
The NMEA 0183 Diagnostics screen is a troubleshooting tool used by installers to verify that NMEA 0183 
data is being sent across the system.
From the Home screen, select  Configure > Communications > NMeA 0183 Setup > Diagnostics.
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 .
Viewing a List of NMEA 2000 Network Devices
You can view the devices connected to the NMEA 2000 network.
1. From the Home screen, select  Configure > Communications > NMeA 2000 Setup > Device List .
2.  Select a device for a list of options.
Labeling Engines as Numbers
 From the Home screen, select  Configure > Communications > NMeA 2000 Setup > Label Devices  > 
Change engine Labels > Use Numbers.
Labeling Engines as Names
1.  From the Home screen, select  Configure > Communications > NMeA 2000 Setup > Label Devices  > 
Change engine Labels > Choose Names.
2.  Select the engine you want to name.
3.  Select the location of the engine:  Port (P), Center (C), Starboard (S), Fore (F), or Aft (A).
4.  Select the label you want to use for the engine.
Labeling Tanks as Numbers
1. From the Home screen, select  Configure > Communications > NMeA 2000 Setup > Label Devices  > 
Change Tank Labels.
2.  Select the type of tank you want to label.
3.  Select  Use Numbers.

Appendix
Selecting a Preferred Data Source
If more than one data source is available, you can select the data source you want to use.
1. From the Home screen, select  Configure > Communications > Preferred Sources.
2.  Select a type of data.
3.  Select a data source.
Transmitting NMEA 0183 Data over a NMEA 2000 Network
You can turn on, configure, or turn off output bridging. Output bridging occurs when a chartplotter takes 
NMEA 0183 data it receives from any source, formats it into NMEA 2000 data, and sends it over the NMEA 
2000 bus.
1. From the Home screen, select  Configure > Communications > output Bridging.
2.  Complete an action:
• Select  on to enable output bridging from the chartplotter.
•  Select  Auto to allow the chartplotters on the NMEA 2000 network to negotiate with each other to 
determine which chartplotter will perform this function. Only one chartplotter on the NMEA  2000 
network can bridge NMEA 0183 data over the NMEA 2000 bus at a time.
• 
• 
 All GPSMAP 700 series units are NMEA 2000 certified.
