I have one of these Furuno multi function displays. It currently is hooked up nicely to my radar, but since the yard monkeys that decommissioned my boat cut all my GPS antennas it has no GPS signal. Consequently it beeps at me all the time telling me the signal is lost. I'm pretty sure the pattern of beeping is morse code for "please buy me a GPS daddy!" 
I'm not familiar with what kind of network/NMEA or whatever interface this guy has. Hopefully the photo of the back is helpful.
Do I need a dedicated (cheap and cheerful) GPS mushroom antenna or could I use the new AIS that I want to get with built-in GPS to supply it with information? Or perhaps a VHF with GPS built in?
