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

You can find the owner's manual on the Furuno web site. Your specific
manual is at

If it's like my Furuno you'll simply need to get a Garmin cable and connect
the NMEA output from it to the radar.
