The radio has additional capabilities when you connect it to other Garmin^® devices, such as a chartplotter.

When you connect the radio to a Garmin chartplotter using either NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000, your chartplotter keeps track of the current and previous positions of the contacts in the directory.

When you connect the radio to the same NMEA 2000 network as a Garmin chartplotter, you can use the chartplotter to set up an individual routine call.

When you connect the radio to the same NMEA 2000 network as a Garmin chartplotter, and you initiate a man-overboard distress call from the radio, the chartplotter prompts you to navigate to the man-overboard location. If you connect a Garmin autopilot system to the same NMEA 2000 network, the chartplotter prompts you to start a Williamson's turn to the man-overboard location.
