Power Pole Charge to Garmin Ultra 2 Chartplotters?

[fish'n Jim]

While I was installing the new units on my boat, I saw they now (since >'22) offer a NMEA connection for the
"Charge" units to MFDs beyond just Lowrance.   I contacted PP as the Garmin instructions weren't descriptive, but need to add a PP gateway port.   Right now they're out of stock, but curious if anyone has connected their "Charge" to Garmin's and if it's worth the $120 and time to install or just tech "jewelry"? 

I really like the "Charge" but was pricey compared to options, but compared to the clunker MK 4 bank charger, it's a dream.   [I'm not a app-aholic though.  I lived a long time without, no sense changing now.  The newbies can't fish without all this stuff.  I see them sometimes on water for these HS and college events.]   You get the voltage on the charts, etc. not sure I need to know all the batteries and if I have my iphone I can go to Cmonster app.  [I want to fish not play with toys]   I have more pressing issues to clear up, too.   No longer competing either.

I'm also worried about all this electronic "noise" may eventually affect the fish, but so far I don't see much evidence.  I did see some issues with forward chasing fish out of docks, but can't be sure if boat or the sonar.   I have for years turned off the electronics when the fish were incredibly wary.   Those Xdrs click at times and cause sound.   The newer ones are quiet, different freq..

ps: I have Talons, not PPs, also.   I've been screwing around with this boat stuff since the first portable L fish finder(~'70s).   This boat was rigged MK and Lowrance originally.   I don't like these "package" boats, per se.. but that's how they worked it out.   But today's $$ reality, custom is for pros only apparently.   Things change, and then you're stuck.  eg: One boat I had was Hbird which was contingent.  Next year, tour changed to lowrance contingent, so I got lowrance thru Federation(back then) and the next year they went to Garmins?  I didn't change until I got the '06 boat with garmins.   I replaced all those units eventually twice.   This boat is ten, and the L's were starting to fall apart and no forward, too old to support it.
