I needed two cables to connect my Garmin GPS to my Furuno 1622 Radar.
The Garmin cable costs about $35. It has a Garmin connector on one end and a
serial connector (for a PC) on the other.
My Furuno cable cost about $60. It has a Furuno cable on one end and bare
wires on the other.
I wired a serial connector to the Furuno bare wires and plug one serial
connector into the other.
Your Furuno may just have screw posts for the Garmin wires to connect to.
When the GPS is wired to the radar, the radar disply can indicate your
course and speed, latitude and longitude, and waypoint bearing and distance.

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!

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.
