Help with Smartcraft Speedo gauge.

[mdwhitten]

I chose the dual tach/Speedo gauges for my new Jaguar, because I’m old school and can see them better.
in order to display speed, the Speedo needs to get input from the GPS unit. I have networked Solix units on the boat, and I can find no way to send GPS signal to the Speedo.

I know I have this info on the Solix, I just like for all my stuff to work.

thanks for any help.

Not sure what config you have but on my prior setup it the following worked:

Try connecting the blue NMEA (0183) wire from the gps unit to the orange wire (think its pin8) on the back of the smart craft gauge.

You may have to turn NMEA "on" on the solix unit (I had to select NMEA on my echo map garmins but the GPSMAP garmins had it on as default).

You turn on the NMEA 0183 output in the menu and HumminBird tech can help navigate the menus if you can figure it out.

Thanks!!
connections were made when rigged. Just had to turn on NMEA 0183 on the console Solix and set the Baud Rate to 4800.
All working fine now. Thanks to all for the replies.¿
