is transmitting NMEA sentences to the GPS Chart Plotter. This page can also be used to
see if the GPS Chart Plotter NMEA output is being loaded down by a external NMEA device
the GPS Chart Plotter is connected to.
Scenario: VHF Radio connected but the Radio is not receiving a GPS Position.
Usually the VHF Radio will be connected to the Green and Brown wires.
To check to see if the GPS Chart Plotter is transmitting the sentences:

[MENU] . Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight NMEA DISPLAY and press
[ENT] .
