Touchscreen Controls for a Connected Computer (8700 and 9500 Models)
To prevent corrosion due to moisture, you must use Garmin® GPSMAP® accessory cables when connecting the chartplotter to the computer. Using different cables voids your warranty.
You can connect the chartplotter to a computer to see the computer screen and to control the computer using a touchscreen. To see the computer screen, you must connect the computer to the HDMI IN port and connect the touchscreen to the HDMI OUT port. To control the computer using the chartplotter touchscreen, you must connect the computer to the USB OTG or USB DRD port and connect the touchscreen to the USB HOST or USB port.
The HDMI® Cable (010-12390-20) is 4.5 m (15 ft) long. If you need a longer cable, you should use an active HDMI cable only. You need an HDMI coupler to connect the two HDMI cables.
To avoid potential communication errors, you should use the correct USB cable for your chartplotter. You should not use an adapter to change the USB connector type on either of these cables.
You must make all cable connections in a dry environment.
