About GPS information
Your radio may be connected to a GPS (global positioning
system) receiver, and programmed (see the note below) so
you can view GPS information such as latitude and longi-
tude, true course, speed, and coordinated universal time.
Your radio may also be programmed to display UTM (univer-
sal transverse mercator) information such as the UTM zone,
and northing and easting coordinates.
GPS information on the radio display is not a standard
feature. Before being programmed, it must be purchased and
enabled on the radio via the Software Feature Enabler.
Contact Tait Electronics Limited for more information.

appears at the top right of the display.
