The Fishfi nder 250/250C allows for NMEA 0183, Version 2.3 input/output with a compatible GPS or
navigation device. NMEA Input/Output must be set to ‘On’ to send/receive data (see pg. 20). For additional
information on using your Fishfi nder 250/250C with NMEA devices, see pages 5, 15, and 20.
The following are the sentences for NMEA 0183, version 2.3:
Input — GPBOD, GPBWC (only used if RMB not present), GPGGA, GPGLL (only used if GGA not present),
GPRMB, GPRMC, GPXTE (only used if RMB not present)
Output — SDDBT, SDDPT, SDMTW, SDVHW, SDWPL* (only if a waypoint is “marked” in Pointer Mode)
*Garmin GPS units will accept the SDWPL (WPL) NMEA sentence and create a waypoint (saved location) at that position (see
pg. 15). For compatibility with other brands of GPS or NMEA capable navigation devices, check with that manufacturer to see if their
unit accepts/stores NMEA 0183 SDWPL sentences/waypoints. The Fishfi nder 250/250C does not store the actual waypoint. Only the
receiving device, if capable, will store the waypoint.
Note: During a typical installation, only the Red and
Black wires are used. The other wires do not have to
be connected for normal operation of the unit.
