RE: NMEA Connection Wire
If it is truly NMEA structured words/sentences, you probably do not have to shield. However, it would be safer to use shielded wire, but only ground the shield on the originate end to avoid ground loops.

RE: NMEA Connection Wire
The technical answer is that you should always use shielded wire for any data connection.
The practical answer is that I know of absolutely no one who worries about using shielded wire for NMEA connections including the manufacturers who provide pigtails from their units that are not shielded.
