GPS NAVIGATOR
7.7.1
CHOICE OF POSITION SOURCE
This GPS navigator instrument can as an option, use NMEA
position data from a GPS receiver or from an active GPS Antenna.
If NMEA P0S is selected, you must connect the NMEA source to
this instruments NMEA 0183 input port, on the back of the
instrument, see chapter 3.3.
Note! A SILVA GPS Antenna or GPS COMPASS will automatically
take over and transmit position data when connected. The NMEA
POS set-up is therefore only important when a NMEA position
source is to be used.

NEXUS-POS - Optional set-up when instrument
used as a Repeater
