The Northstar GPS manual says to combine the yellow and black wires (doesn't say which black wires) and connect them to DC-negative when connecting the unit to power, and says GPS white is NMEA out to a device like the VHF. The GPS yellow wire is connected separately after the ignition switch for a switching situation that allows for auto power off, so in this case it is not NMEA out from the GPS. The colour codes must somehow be different. I'm going to have to try to get through to Northstar, I guess. Thanks for helping.
