External GPS
Mounting location
Depending on vessel design and materials, certain mounting locations chosen for the NSS
may not o er adequate GPS satellite signal reception using the internal receiver. An External
GPS source such as the GS15 can be used to overcome this, by allowing remote installation
in a location that has an unobscured view of the sky.
