GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Your position is determined by receiving signals from up to 12 satellites and measuring the distance from the satellites to determine your present position.

Connecting the included GPS Receiver to your Matrix Fishing System allows you to combine easy-to-use FishingGPS™ chartplotter and navigation capabilities with advanced fishfinding. You'll enjoy the power of GPS to help you find those elusive fishing spots and guide you home! The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the Matrix when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:

•View current position

•View current track (breadcrumb trail)

•View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver

•Save tracks, waypoints and routes

•Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next.
