Bittersweet89 0 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Is there any way to connect a garmin gwind to a vulcan 7 plotter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,225 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Wind transducer or wind instruments? Vulcan has no NMEA0183 input so if instruments you'd need a NMEA2000 adapter ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bittersweet89 0 Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 The the transducer. I have a vulcan 7 disolay and radar and would like to run a gwind that i have on the same systems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,225 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Then you need to convert it to the NMEA2000 standard. Looks like on of these would do it https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/pn/010-01226-00 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattm 98 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 The wired wind sensors and kits normally come with the GND10 IT, as the nexus output of the sensor does not plug into the displays, which are nmea2000. If you mean the wired one, and you have a GND10, you just network everything with NMEA2000 and wind will show up on the Vulcan. BUT, you can’t calibrate the wind sensor without a Garmin display of some sort at least temporarily connected, if not permanently in the system. I have a Vulcan plugged to a Gwind instrument kit on one of my boats, with the Garmin display still used, I will change it all out to BnG, the Triton2’s are a much nicer racing instrument display. If you mean gwind wireless, they talk directly to a Garmin instrument or certain plotters, and you will need one in your system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
