windows from external NMEA 0183 devices. Depth sounder, Speed Log with temp, Wind
speed and direction, Flux gate compass, and GPS information can be shown in any of the
boxes. The default NMEA Display shows 3 windows. When going to a destination, this
screen is useful to navigate as to get to the destination keep the Course Over Ground (COG)

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.
