If your boat has an operational GPS navigation
receiver, the radio automatically detects and
updates the vessel position and the local time.
However, if the GPS navigation receiver is
disconnected or absent, you can specify your
boat's position and the local time manually,
using the GPS/DATA menu option. This
information is important because it will be used
if you transmit a DSC DISTRESS call.
