Hi there Daz,
unfortunately i think you will find that the mark feature on the 585 and 620 dose not run through NMEA! It actually runs through TLL which is target longitude and lattitude and i think you will find that the furuno plotters are the only ones that run that sentence. I hope that give you some help. has anyone told you that you can use that feature through nmea?? cause i am sure you cant! good luck!

cheers

I do not know whether this helps or not or even if it is relevant but the 4212 is the US version with the US basemaps, the 4012 is the AU equivalent I think.
