Advanced NMEA 0183 Wiring
The GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter has four ports to receive NMEA 0183 data (RX ports), and two ports to send NMEA 0183 data (TX ports). Wire one NMEA 0183 device per RX port to send data to a 6000/7000 series chartplotter, wire up to three NMEA 0183 devices in parallel to each TX port to receive data from a 6000/7000 series chartplotter.
Each RX and TX port has 2 wires, labeled A (+) and B
Consult the installation instructions for your NMEA
