Troubleshooting Your GPS Connection



Your Plotter/GPS receiver must be capable of sending the proper sentences

(listed below) set for NMEA 0183 (Check your Plotter/GPS instructions for
information.)



Verify that the plotter/GPS device is sending GPRMC, GPGGA, GPVTG, GPGLL, or
GPGNS sentences. (Check Plotter/GPS Instructions.)



If you are still not receiving latitude and longitude, you can try setting the plotter

to send one sentence at a time (if possible). This can help it find the most
compatible sentence.



Have a technician check the plotter/GPS using test equipment to verify it is

sending the GPS sentence.



Check the solder points on the radio and plotter connectors. Some connectors are

very small, increasing the likelihood of solder bridging.
