When you select a new GPS source, the position, menu settings, view rotation, and digital readouts will automatically update on the control head. To view navigation and share navigation data on the network, it is important to understand the GPS source and how to share navigation data.

•Alarms: To share navigation alarms, each control head must turn on the Share Navigation Data menu. When navigation is shared, the shared alarm settings can be controlled on either control head, and the alarms will display or sound on both control heads.
NOTE: If a GPS source is shared, the alarms and navigation features are NOT shared. Turn on Share Navigation Data to share navigation data and alarms
