The Garmin GND10 Black Box Bridge is the compact, IPX7-rated gateway that bridges the Nexus network with NMEA 2000, translating data so Nexus instruments and Garmin gear work together seamlessly. It enables cross-network communication for sailing-specific sensing and display solutions, including Garmin’s gWind family (gWind, gWind Wireless, and gWind Race) to connect with Nexus sensors and instruments.

Key Benefits

• Cross-network compatibility: Converts data between Nexus and NMEA 2000 to provide seamless compatibility between Nexus instruments/sensors and Garmin products, including gWind transducers.
• Plug-and-play installation: Simple connections between Nexus, NMEA 2000, and USB with no user setup or system configuration required.
• PC software integration: Enables PC applications such as NexusRace™, Expedition, Adrena or SeaTrack to communicate sailing-specific functions across Nexus and NMEA 2000 networks.
• Firmware updates over NMEA 2000: Supports GND10 software updates over NMEA 2000; NexusRace can also update, configure, and calibrate Nexus devices over USB using the FDX protocol.
• Lighting control: Set lighting levels of Nexus Marine instruments from equipment connected to NMEA 2000 for easier visibility in varying conditions.
• Rugged marine design: Built for tough conditions with IPX7 waterproofing and a wide operating temperature range.
