8.4 (D)GPS connection
A (D)GPS may be connected to the SP60 sonar to indicate the
latitude and longitude position of the vessel, cursor, markers and
targets. In addition to the navigational data, the (D)GPS may also
be used for the input of the speed log information. Most (D)GPS
systems are equipped to present the course information, but this
data is generally too inconsistent to provide a stable sonar
presentation.
The sonar can read the (D)GPS data from an RS-232 serial line
with a standard NMEA 0183 telegram format.
Refer to the cable connection drawing for termination of the serial
line data in the Sonar Interface Unit.

Refer to the drawing on page 176.
For connection to the (D)GPS log, refer to the applicable (D)GPS
documentation.
