You cannot connect Garmin equipment to Smartcraft. You need to have Northstar and the Smartcraft engine gateway connection

Sorry to contradict you Andre but you can! The advantage of having Northstar or Navman instruments is that they have all of the engine information on them, but you can still connect any GPS (with a NMEA out) to the Smartcraft (it's marked GPS in) and you will then get a GPS speed reading on your Smartcraft instruments.

Smartcraft gateway info display on Garmin GPS

Hi fellas,

Have any of you come across a work around to have Smartcraft data displayed on GARMIN GPS?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

To my knowledge it can't be done - you'll need and Navman or equivalent that has compatible software - it all is or at least used to be part of the Brunswick corporation.

Edit
You may at least be able to use the Garmin GPS speed on the Smartcraft but none of the Smartcraft info can be displayed on a Garmin.

I think you'll find there is an NMEA in with Smartcraft guages for GPS speed
