Hello!
I know there is lot of threads about this and I think I have read all of them but I cant find any good answers.
I know that its possible to connect the Garmin GPS antenna to the Livorsi Speedometer but it doesnt work when I connect the cables.
There is one yellow cable ”NMEA 0183” from the tac gauge. This is the cable you connect to the Livorsi gps antenna and also the cable you want to connect to the blue cable from the Garmin GPS, right?
I have connect the blue and the yellow cable, but it doesnt seem to work.
Thanks!

Need to figure out if it is Really NMEA 0183 or 2000. If 0183 you have to configure that in the setup as stock setup is defaulted to NMEA 2000

The Livorsi gauges is not that old I think. Everything runs with the SmartCraft.
I have a picture of the backside of the Livorsi Speedo.
I can take more pictures of the wiring and the other gauges tomorrow.

I havent tested it yet. I am little bit confused how I should wire the cables and configure the Garmin GPS right.
Is it the yellow cable (from the Livorsi tac gauge) and the blue small cable (from the Garmin GPS) I must connect?
Then configure the gps to nmea 0183?

I am not familiar with 0183 wiring as The ones I have delt with run into a junction/geatway box that transfers the data into NMEA 2000 Data.. The Garmin is capable of reading 0183 data. Just have it turned on in the Menu This thread may help you though.
Anyone running a GPS speedo head off their Garmin GPS output?
