If its in simulation mode i don`t think it will display gps, i think It has to be in normal operation mode with the transducer plugged in for it to display gps. This is the way my 17 works. hpoe this helps.

*note it needs to be able to "see" the satalites too, so won't work well in the garage.

On my 798 I have to enable "advanced" menu then the option to turn "GPS Output" on is at the bottom of one of those menus. I'm not familiar with that unit but they don't have the signal running to the gps wire out of the box. Did you hook up the right wire?
