14.3 GPS troubleshooting

Problems with the GPS and their possible causes and solutions are described here.

Problem

Possible causes

Possible solutions

Geographic location or prevailing
conditions preventing satellite fix.

Check periodically to see if a fix is obtained in better conditions or
another geographic location.

No GPS position.

Location of unit

For optimum performance the unit should be mounted above decks and
not be in close proximity to any structural bulkheads or other electrical
equipment or cables which may cause interference.

Note:

A GPS Status screen is available within the unit. This provides satellite signal strength and other relevant information.
