Default FURUNO 1715 RADAR AND GARMIN 162 GPS

Can I join these together with a NMEA cable?
Looking at the Garmin Book they seem to indicate that you can, but they also mention Garmin Proprietary GPS interface.
I have a feeling that NMEA communication will work but the Garmin book is putting doubt in my head.

Also any reviews of the 1715 Furuno would be appreciated.
thanks

Default RE: FURUNO 1715 RADAR AND GARMIN 162 GPS

I have a Garmin 192c gps and just installed the Furuno 1715. Not having much experiance with radar, I can't give much of a review. I was able to interface the two units through the nmea connections. It has not been easy and as you will see from my post, I am still having trouble. It is not the equipment but the incomplete instructions. Thanks to THT for help.Make sure you order the nmea cable with your furuno unit. Good luck
