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 installa-
tion in a location that has an unobscured view of the sky. An NMEA 2000 expansion kit may
be required to connect the GPS antenna to the NSS, if no other network cabling is already
installed.
Refer to “Device connection” on page 31 for further details on connecting to the network.
