I have it all connected up, Garmin 741xs Chart plotter but I cannot get the DSC GPS location to my West Marine 580 VHF. Nothing on the radio, the radio should say something to the affect of "missing GPS data" the radio works fine otherwise. Chart Plotter is working just fine. I have tried every thing but standing on my head. I have both the Garmin installation instructions and the 580 VHF connection instructions. I am thinking the two manuals are contradicting each other.
However my question is about the NMEA 0183 connection from the Garmin to the 580 VHF. Does anyone who has a Garmin 741xs have a NMEA 0183 to your VHF radio? If so do you remember how you connected it? Which wires connected to what?
I only have these items on my boat and the only NMEA 0183 I have is the Garmin power connection and the 580 VHF radio.
Thanks
