Troubleshooting
My device will not acquire GPS signals
If the device is not acquiring satellite signals, there could be a few causes. If the device has moved a large
distance since the last time it has acquired satellites or has been turned off for longer than a few weeks or
months, the device may not be able to acquire the satellites correctly.
Ensure the device is using the latest software. If not, update the device software (Software Updates,
page188).
If the device is using an internal GPS antenna, make sure the device has a clear view of the sky so the internal
antenna can receive the GPS signal. If it is mounted inside of a cabin, it should be close to a window so it can
receive the GPS signal. If the device is mounted inside a cabin and cannot be placed in a location where the
device can acquire satellites, use an external GPS antenna.
If the device is using an external GPS antenna, make sure the antenna is connected to the chartplotter or the
NMEA network. If necessary, see the GPS antenna installation instructions for connection information and
diagrams.
If the device is using an external GPS antenna connected using the NMEA 2000 network, select Settings >
Communications > NMEA 2000 Setup > Device List. Make sure the antenna appears on this list. If it does
not, verify the antenna installation and the NMEA 2000 network installation.
If the device has more than one GPS antenna source, select a different source (Selecting the GPS Source,
page10).
