Garmin 4210 to Furuno 585, NMEA 0183

[DawgDr]

Hey THT, can anyone point me in the direction to find a simple picture or diagram to connect the NMEA 0183 wires for these two systems to share data? I know it has been discussed prior, but the pics are not showing up on some of the threads.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help,

Had a problem getting my new Furuno 620 to listen to my Garmin 545s. So, after about 1 1/2 hours of trying different things, I thought to myself "oh no, now I will be on hold for 45 mins " at least that has been my experience with Garmin tech support. So I call Furuno and get greeted by a pleasant sounding women "no robot" and then within a minute I was talking to a very pleasant knowledgeable guy who knew exactly what the issue was and it was working within minutes!
The Garmin uses a common ground for nmea connections and the furuno has seperate grounds for each nmea wire, so all we did was combine the blue and green furuno nmea wires and put them to the common ground block on the console and it works great! I cannot wait to try it out today!

You can thank Blue Water Pirate. I saved this from one of his old posts!
