Default Interfacing Radar and GPS

I recently bought a 1995 320 Albemarle Express Fisherman. It has a Furuno
1830 Radar and a Garmin 220 GPS. In reading through the manuals for these
pieces of equipment, I have noticed that it's possible to connect a GPS to
the radar and it will display some nav information on the Radar unit as well
as having the ability to plot the speed and direction of various targets on
the radar.

Is this simply a matter of purchasing and attaching some sort of cord
between the units, and if so, where do I get this? I am not sure if they
are fairly universal or do I need to contact one of the vendors for this,
and if so, which one...Furuno or Garmin?

Is there more to it than this? Any idea how much it costs?

Thanks!

Gary
