5. INITIAL SETTINGS

Input/Output Setting

The GP-90 can output navigation information to external equipment. For example, it can

output position data to a radar or echo sounder for display on their display screen. You can

convert a Loran Plotter to a GPS Plotter with position data from the GP-90.

Before selecting data to output, confirm what data the external equipment requires. Output

necessary data only. Outputting unnecessary data can cause receiving problems at the

external equipment.

Talker

All data transmitted by marine electronics equipment is prefixed with a two-character code

which tells external equipment what equipment is transmitting data. This two-character code

is called the talker. The GP-90 contains the talkers GP, LC and DE.

Because GPS is a relatively new system some early model equipments do not recognize

the GP talker name. In this case transmit data using a conventional talker, which equipment

recognizes, such as Loran C.
