Has anyone successfully wired up their Icom DSC to their HDS GPS and can let me know which wires they spliced together? Cheers JF

Cheers Scuba but the M330
Cheers Scuba but the M330 doesn't have a plug to allow it to be connected to the NMEA backbone but had a chance to have a proper look and pretty sure I've figured it out after getting my head back around it:

Try this
R-250 NMEA 0183 Wiring Diagrams
Use this diagram to connect the LVR-250 to a Lowrance GPS unit that is not connected to a radar unit. Once the wiring is correct, set up the communication port.
The baud rate under communications port 1 should be set to 4800, and both the NMEA 0183 OUTPUT and NMEA 0183 INPUT should be selected. The GPS unit should now send and receive data to and from the radio. The radio will indicate latitude and longitude coordinates when it is receiving data.
