HDMI Out Video Considerations
NOTICE
To prevent corrosion due to moisture, you must use Garmin
GPSMAP accessory cables when connecting the chartplotter to
the video display. Using different cables voids your warranty.
The GPSMAP A12/12x3 chartplotter models have HDMI out
capability to duplicate the chartplotter screen on another device,
such as a television or monitor.
The Garmin GPSMAP HDMI accessory cable is 4.5 m (15 ft.)
long. If you need a longer cable, you should use an active HDMI
cable only. You need an HDMI coupler to connect the two HDMI
cables.
You must make all cable connections in a dry environment.
