Manual says: This radio can use either NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 protocol to* receive *GPS data from a compatible GPS unit. Note: NMEA 2000 SOURCE options will appear (up to 4 sources showing the actual source name) only if an NMEA 2000 network is connected to the radio and is operational. RADIO SETUP WX ALERT ▲ COM PORT ►GPS SOURCE FAV CH SETU GPS SOURCE ►NMEA0183 LGC3000 LCX113CHD 1. Select RADIO SETUP then GPS SOURCE. (If there is only one NMEA protocol available on your vessel, only that will be shown). 2. Select the desired NMEA source then press ENT.
