NMEA DATA PAGE

The NMEA Data page is very useful to see if a external device (example: Depth Sounder)
is transmitting NMEA sentences to the GPS Chart Plotter. This page can also be used to
see if the GPS Chart Plotter NMEA output is being loaded down by a external NMEA device
the GPS Chart Plotter is connected to.
Scenario: VHF Radio connected but the radio is not receiving a GPS Position.
Usually the VHF Radio will be connected to the Green and Brown wires.
To check to see if the GPS Chart Plotter is transmitting the sentences:
1. Press [MENU], move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight NMEA DISPLAY and press
[ENT].
2. Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight DATA and press [ENT].
3. Connect the Blue wire on the GPS Chart Plotter to the junction of the Brown wire and
the VHF wire. The display should look similar to the following picture.
