If your GPS was sending NMEA data and now is not, your NMEA configuration may have been inadvertently changed, either due to a user error, or possibly a software glitch.

You can configure the unit to use specific NMEA sentences.
1. Press MENU|MENU| then scroll down to SYSTEM SETUP and press |ENT.
2. Scroll down to COMMUNICATIONS PORT, then press ENT then scroll down to CONFIGURE NMEA and press ENT.
3. A menu appears showing the prefixes of the available NMEA sentences.
A check mark next to a prefix means the prefix is in use. Use the arrow keys (on the track pad) like a mouse to select a prefix, then press ENT to turn off the prefix. (Press
ENT again to check the box and turn a prefix on.)
I'm not exactly sure how the data is labeled on that model but you looking for a sentence that looks like an abbreviation for GPS Lat Lon (it may be something like GPLL). If you're not sure, turn them all on, the VHF will only use the sentences it recognizes.
4. When the desired prefixes are checked or unchecked, press
EXIT|EXIT|EXIT|EXIT to return to the previous page.

let me know if this worked for you, or if I may be of further assistance.

How can a lowrance 5300 globalmap iGPS be used as a fishfinder.

Sadly, the 5300 does not have fishfinder/depth capability.
If you require it, the link below is for the owners manual for your unit.
Sorry I couldn't have given you happier news.

Dear Sir.I would like to know that the availability of navman tracker 5505,5605 or 5507. I am ver interested to place an online order for the Tracker 5505.thank you. Ahmed Rasheed.Maldives, e mail. ah

The NAVMAN trackers are no longer available as the company stopped making marine products. You can however find current products at www.lowrance.com.
The closest you can find is a Lowrance Elite 5mHD

In case you want to refer to a manual for 5505/06 refer this site.

http://www.navmanmarine.net/upload/Marine/Internet_Manuals/Tracker5505_5605/English_T5505_5605_manual.pdf

You can still find some old 5505 units at speciality marine online stores. Give this a try.

What are the data cable 5 wire used for and where do they get hooked up

The additional wires are for NMEA data transfer to and from other devices and sensors like distance, speed, depth, temperature and NMEA 0183 sentences the unit will use when connected to a VHF radio or other NMEA 0183 device.

My navman 7100 vhf radio is mall functioning. the buttonns on the mic are doing different options than what they are suppose to do. also unable to transmit messages but can make mmsi digital calls, i can...

Too late to help op, but trying to fix one with same symptoms, found a broken wire in the microphone cable near the handset, as I'd suspected. The cable appears to be a curly shielded 8 conductor, one of which (presumably the mike) appears to also have a shield - found a seller on ebay US that appears a suitable cable for about £16

Navman VHF 7100 Radio neither receiving nor transmitting

I would suggest checking your antenna/coax connector. I am not sure what kind of antenna or ,mount you are using but I would suspect it being something in the antenna. Most radios are designed to not transmit if the antenna is broke or not connected at all. When you say bent do you mean metal bent or bent at the base? So that would be where I start. Can you try a different antenna? Hope you track it down. N5ARK
