NMEA 2000® Networking

The All-New, Low-Cost, Easy-to-Install, Easy-to-Use Onboard Solution for High-Performance Data Sharing

Lowrance now brings multi-device data communications networking within easy reach of even the smallest boats and budgets with the NMEA 2000® networking system.

The NMEA 2000® solution offers unique advantages in a networking package for multi-station sensing and display of boat systems and engine functions. Those key benefits include simplicity, easy installation, versatility and ease of sensor/display/system expansion, excellent performance and amazing affordability.

About NMEA 2000®
It's the new world standard in marine electronics data protocol, established by the National Marine Electronics Association, for networking multiple instruments on boat. Simply put, any NMEA 2000® certified device (sensor, sonar, GPS, multi-function gauge, etc.), regardless of brand, will share and/or display user-selectable data with any or all other display instruments installed in a NMEA 2000® network.

What the Lowrance NMEA 2000® Networking Solution Offers
With the new low-cost, high-performance Lowrance NMEA 2000® networking system, owners of small to large boats can purchase a series of affordable and easy-to-install intelligent sensors (Electronic Probes - EPs) to monitor an array of vital Engine and boating functions.

For example, the use of an EP-60R Fuel Flow Sensor, in conjunction with an LGC-4000 GPS or EP-70R Speed Sensor, can provide comprehensive fuel management capability onboard. You'll know precisely how far and how much operational time you have left, fuel-wise, based on your current speed. That's an incredible benefit to any boater, particularly to coastal anglers and boaters!
