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. Example:
VHF Radio connected but the radio is not receiving a GPS Position.
