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 chartplotter. This page can also be used to see
if the GPS chartplotter NMEA output is being loaded down by a external NMEA device the
GPS chartplotter is connected to.
Scenario: CPV connected to Autopilot but not receiving.
Usually the VHF Radio will be connected to the Green and Brown wires. To check to see
if the GPS chartplotter is transmitting the sentences:
1. Press
[MENU]
. Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight
NMEA DISPLAY
and press
[ENT]
.
2. Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight

and
press

.
3. Connect the BLUE Wire on the GPS chartplotter to the junction of the Brown wire and
the VHF wire. The display should look similar to the picture below.

When the GPS chartplotter is connected to the Optional FF520 50/200kHz BLACK BOX
FISH FINDER or a Digital Depth Sounder, Wind Speed/Direction, Speed Log with Temp
with NMEA output the GPS chartplotter is capable of show Trends in the data from the
device.
