Hummingbird transducer to Garmin GPS

[acelli]

I have a Garmin GPSmap 182 and the boat has a puck type hummingbird transducer (no fish finder unit) Can I interconnet the two two get a depth reading on my GPS? <br /><br />The transducer has red and black wires which I assume are the positive and gorund leads. It also has orange, purple, brown, yellow and bare leads.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />A.C.

The GPS does not have the electronics to either "ping" the transducer or to process the echo. So the answer would be no.

But if he bought a GSD20, could the Humminbird transducer interface with it?

No -- It works only with the 2006 and 2010. It's also $250 to $350 depending on where you shop. Why not just buy a system that you know will work without resorting to the black box.

The GPS182 supports the GSD20. What I don't know is if the GSD20 will support his transducer.
