Hello All,
Racing to get my prep work done and of course, Garmin and Uniden's Customer Service/ Tech are closed for the whole weekend....
I am utterly confused with the NMEA wiring, as Uniden shows two different drawings, and Garmin's is different, as well.
Can someone help me sort this out, so I can wire them up, together, tomorrow?

Connecting to a GPS receiver
If you connect the radio to a GPS receiver, the radio can automatically transmit your current position during an automated distress call or during a normal DSC call.
Your radio supports a standard NMEA0183 input from a GPS receiver. Follow the steps
below to connect your radio to your GPS receiver:
1. Connect the BARE wire of the included accessory cable to the GROUND WIRE on your GPS receiver.
2. Connect the YELLOW wire of the included accessory cable to the GPS DATA OUTPUT WIRE on your GPS receiver. Below is a table of common GPS receivers and the proper connections:

Connecting to a Chartplotter
Your radio provides a standard NMEA0183 GPS output that you can connect to a
chartplotter. When it receives another boat?s position data in a DSC call, the radio sends the position data to the chartplotter so you can see the location:
1. Connect the BROWN wire of the accessory cable to the NEGATIVE (-) wire of your
chartplotter?s NMEA data INPUT.
2. Connect the WHITE wire of the accessory cable to the POSITIVE (+) wire of your
chartplotter?s NMEA data INPUT
3. Be certain all wire connections are secure and that all open wires are adequately
covered.

Sorry for the pics but I have this all in a word document, I copied and pasted, but the photo's done paste...
Thanks for any help... Kenny
