Using NMEA from my Garmin (Etrex Mariner or GPS 12) to my Furuno 1622 does
provide the Wapoint Popsicle, in addition to everything else.

The ARP11 (10 target ARPA) is listed as an option for your radar. As far
as
the data connection between the GPS and radar, if the Garmin cable is
the
same as most of the others they make it would have some un-terminated
wires
plus the red and black for power. You need the NEMA data cable for the
radar
(the one with the bare ends). Nothing more then connecting 2 wires from
each
cable and setting up the data outputs and inputs on each unit. Sorry I
can't
remember the colors you need to connect and the info is at work.

I am under the impression that ARP is and add on option for all the
small commercial Furuo Radars. I am not 100% sure on that exact model
(1833) but I bet Doug could give us a difinitive answer. Any add on
option is going to cost BIG BUCKS, however and probubly not worth the
cash for a noncommercial users. The standard NEMA input for these type
Furuno Radars is to display the Position Information, Speed, Course over
Ground, and Next Waypoint Bearing and Distance, at the bottom of the
screen in the NAV Info Position. If you want the Waypoint Popsicle to
display on the screen, then you must input Compass Data on the Gyro
Input, and that is a seperate connection from the NEMA Input. All the
Furuno's I have dealt with will NOT accept Compass Data from the NEMA
Data Stream, but only on the Gyro Input.
