If it's like my Furuno you'll simply need to get a Garmin cable and connect
the NMEA output from it to the radar.

=========================================

Is that sufficient to support the so called "ARP" plotting functions,
or do you also need a flux gate compass to provide heading
information?


No, ARPA functions are much more complicated that the simple NEMA
interface on the small commercial Furuno Radars. You need an compass
input to get the Waypoint Popsicle on the Radar Display. ARPA takes a
complete ARPA Unit which is a complete cpu based system that is in
addition to the basic radar display system.
