4-6 GPS/DATA
You can use the GPS/DATA menu to:
• manually enter your position data
• manually enter the time data
• show or hide your position
• show or hide the time
• oset the UTC time to show your local time
• format the time display
• show or hide your course (COG) and speed (SOG)
• turn GPS ENABLE ON/OFF

• turn NO GPS DATA alarm sound ON/OFF.
Note: This information is important because it will be used if you send a DISTRESS call.
If GPS data is not available, the NO GPS alert will sound for 5 seconds (or until you press
any button) and the screen will request you to enter the position data manually.
This will repeat every 4 hours if you do not enter the position data manually. After you
have entered the position data, you must update it within 23.5 hours otherwise NO GPS
alert sequence repeats.
