mation. This feature maybe useful when the

is located in an area
where GPS reception is limited. Refer to section “
9.10 MANUAL INPUTTING

14.9 GPS SELECTION
This selection allows the
GX1700
to:
a. use the internal GPS to compute and display position information
(default setting).
b. use the NMEA output of Standard Horizon GPS Antenna (Q7000619A)
to input position information into the
GX1700
when the GPS reception
is limited, such as the flush mounting of the
GX1700
. Refer to page 15
for connections. This is a useful feature when the
GX1700
is located in
an area where GPS reception is limited.
