If using the AEM 5 Gauge layout file, the GPS channels are already configured and no additional setup is
necessary. To add GPS channels to a layout that doesn't already have them, start by opening the desired layout
file and then go Setup>Display, click on CAN Receive tab, select Port 1 and then click on Import CAN button.
Locate the VDM/GPS Module dbc file, select either US or SI units and click Open. CAN Import window will open
showing all channels available for import – leave all channels selected and click on Import. All VDM/GPS channels
(listed below) have now been added to the Outputs channel list.
GPS Latitude
GPS Longitude
GPS Speed
GPS Altitude
GPS Course
Lap timing can be set up once the GPS channels have been imported. Go Setup>Lap Timing and the software
should automatically recognize the newly added GPS channels and assign them accordingly. If the channels aren't
set automatically, simply match the following example. If using a product with internal GPS, the GPS channels will
include an "i" suffix after "GPS". For example "GPSi_Speed". The Show Predefined Outputs in the Setup Editor
option must be checked for these channels to appear in the output list. External and internal GPS setup examples
are shown below.
