V90 Operating Manual

GPS setup

If a GPS receiver is connected to the NMEA port of the V90, the radio
will automatically receive the vessel’s position and local time from
the GPS.

If GPS data is not available for some reason, the radio will sound the
NO GPS alert for 2 minutes (or until you press any key).

If the GPS data becomes older than 4 hours, the NO GPS alert will
sound, and it can only be silenced manually or by the reception or
manual entry of new GPS data.

If the vessel’s GPS data is older than 23.5 hours, the data will be
erased and the NO GPS alert will sound.
