Lowrance NMEA is a communication protocol used by Lowrance marine electronics products to share data and information with other devices on the boat. NMEA stands for National Marine Electronics Association, and the NMEA 2000 protocol is a standard for communication between marine electronic devices.
Lowrance NMEA 2000 devices, such as chartplotters, fishfinders, sensors, and other accessories, can be connected to a common network using a backbone cable and drop cables. Once connected, these devices can share information such as GPS position, depth, speed, heading, water temperature, and other data.
Lowrance NMEA 2000 networks can also be used to control and monitor other boat systems, such as engines, fuel systems, lighting, and other devices, using compatible sensors and controllers. This allows boaters to have greater control over their vessel's systems and to monitor them more effectively.
Overall, Lowrance NMEA 2000 provides a reliable and efficient means of communication between marine electronics devices, allowing boaters to get the most out of their marine electronics and have a more enjoyable and safer boating experience.
