Do still need to connect the NMEA 2000 power line? (GPS PA) Answer: No, the internal receiver will work without it. If you wish to add other NMEA devices to your system, then that cable would need to be connected to 12volts unless you choose to power the network through a different unit or with a power node. 98.0 Related Topics: GPS FAQs (2), GPS Information (2) Q: If I have two units on an NMEA 2000 network, how many power connections do I need to make? (GPS PA) Answer: Each unit will require it's own power cable connected to 12volts. However, the NMEA 2000 network, only needs a power connection at one location 73.0 Related Topics: NMEA 2000 (40) GPS LOCK PROBLEMS Answer: * Module Not Responding: (For units using a NMEA 2000 network) Both branches of the power cable with red & black wires need to be connected to a 12volt power source.
