Preparations

You can install the GPS system in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence:

Caution:

You should read over this entire installation section before drill- ing any holes in your vehicle or vessel!

1.Determine the approximate location for the GPS unit, so you can plan how and where to route the cables for the antenna and power. This will help you make sure you have enough cable length for the de- sired configuration.

2.Determine the approximate location for the GPS antenna module and its cable route.

4.Determine the location of your battery or other power connection, along with the power cable route.

6.Install the GPS antenna and route the antenna cable to the GPS unit.

7.Install the power cable and route it to the GPS unit.

8.Mount the GPS unit.
