GPS Source and Sharing Waypoints Overview

When you select a new GPS source, the position, view rotation, and digital readouts will automatically update on the control head.
To view waypoint data on the network, it is important to understand the GPS source and how to share waypoint data.
∆ Views: The view rotation will update to correspond with the GPS receiver.
∆ Navigation: Waypoint data can be shared, and you can build a route on either control head with the shared waypoints. See
Share Waypoints for more information.

Select a GPS Source

When you power on the network for the first time, the control head will automatically choose the connected or internal GPS receiver
to provide data to the control head. Use the instructions below to change the GPS source for the selected control head.
APEX/SOLIX Series
GPS (1) provides position data, Speed over Ground (SOG),
Course over Ground (COG), waypoints, routes, tracks, and
navigation calculations to the control head.
GPS (2) provides position data that is displayed in the GPS (2)
data box.
The APEX/SOLIX control head defaults to the internal GPS
receiver as the primary source (GPS [1)). If you connect an
external GPS receiver to the control head, it will be assigned as
the secondary source GPS (2). You can also manually change
which GPS receiver is the selected source for GPS (1) or GPS
(2).
Auto-Configure: When Auto-Configure is turned on, the
sources are selected automatically by the control head. When
Auto-Configure is turned off, you can select sources based on
your preferences.
1. Open the Network Data Sources Menu.
2. Select GPS (1) or GPS (2).
3. Select Auto-Configure. Tap the on/off button, or press
the ENTER key, to turn it off.
