GPS receiver

Position comes from a USB GPS receiver plugged into the panel — the GMouse VK-162 (a small corded USB puck) is the supported unit. It feeds the Location page: the map, coordinates, speed, heading, altitude, and satellite count.

Setting it up

Plug the receiver into the panel's USB-C accessory port (the one not used for flashing/service). That's all — there is no entry on the Devices page; the GPS is active whenever a receiver is plugged in, and unplugging and replugging it works at any time.

Place the puck where it can see the sky — on the dash by the windscreen works well. The first fix after a long time unpowered can take a few minutes outdoors.
