Connecting a GR16 GPS Receiver to the Fishfinder

Here's how to access GPS functionality using your GR16 GPS Receiver Accessory:

1.Attach the GR16 GPS receiver to your Fishfinder Control Head COM port using the NMEA cable attached to the antenna.

2.If you are already using other Fishfinder accessories plugged into the COM connector, you will also need to use the AS-YC ("Y") cable included in your GR16 GPS Hardware Kit so that you can use both the accessories and your GPS Receiver at the same time. Attach the COM connector of the "Y" cable directly to your Fishfinder Control Head COM port. Attach the GR16 GPS receiver to the NMEA-COM connector of the "Y" cable. Re-connect your Fishfinder accessories to the ACCY-COM connector of the "Y" cable.

3.Power up the Fishfinder Fishing System (see your Fishfinder Operation Manual for details).

4.When the Fishfinder detects the NMEA input from the GPS Receiver, the Combo, Track and Bird's Eye Views will be added automatically to the VIEW key function. A Navigation menu tab and the Navigation X-Press™ menu will also be added automatically to the Menu system.
