Change VTG to vtg as follows:a. Press 3 to highlight VTG.b. Press 2 to change VTG to vtg.c. Press 4 to save the setting.External non-TSIP-capable receiverThe EZ-Guide Plus lightbar requires GGA positions for guidance. it is recommended thatyou also configure your receiver to output VTG messages. If the EZ-Guide Plus lightbardoes not receive VTG messages, guidance may be erratic, especially if you have anantenna offset or are working at slow speeds.Note — When you use external GPS input, the EZ-Guide Plus system does not outputGPS data to another device. To send GPS positions to another device, connect theexternal receiver directly to the device.Outputting NMEA messages to a yield monitorOn the Data Port Settings screen, the GGA Precisionfield allows you to set the number of decimal placesused in NMEA GGA positions (6 or 7).When you are outputting NMEA positions to a yieldmonitor, set the GGA Precision field to the correctnumber of decimal places for your monitor.52 Using GPS EZ-Guide Plus Lightbar Guidance System Getting Started Guide
