External GPS

Mounting location
Depending on vessel design and materials, certain mounting locations chosen for the NSS
may not off er adequate GPS satellite signal reception using the internal receiver. An External
GPS source such as the GS15 can be used to overcome this, by allowing remote installation
in a location that has an unobscured view of the sky.
