Wiring and Cables The GPSMAP 3000 series chartplotter comes with a Power/data cable, and a GPS 17x cable. Additionally, the GPSMAP 3006, 3206, 3010, and 3210 chartplotters come with a 17-pin Marine Video cable. Optional Garmin Marine Network components use specialized Garmin Network cables. Depending on the installation, it may be necessary to drill holes to route the connector end of these cables. [. . . ] The connection ports are labeled on the back of the chartplotter.
