being received.
Check wiring and COM port setting.

MFD does not recognize the data as the
format selected.
May indicate a baud rate or receiver
type error.
Nav Source: No Port selected
The RS232 port setting in the GPS
setup dialog is set to NONE.
To correct this, choose the port to
which the GPS is connected, typically
RS232 1.
