How is the GPS activated with the FTM-350AR?

I am not able to activate the internal GPS that I installed on my FTM-350. I can not bring up the menu that allows you to activate it. According to the manual it should come up in the display menu (CO-1). The GPS option never appears in this menu. Any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong
 

A simple question. Did you plug the ribbon cable into the correct slot? If you didn't that would be the problem. I know that some people have slid the ribbon into a space in the board and not installing it. When the ribbon is plugged in you should still see part of the end. If it went in really easy then look for a smaller slot. Notice the small slot on the bottom right. That is where it should go. It is a little hard to push in but be careful not to push too hard or you will damage it.

Yes, I did push the ribbon into that small slot. What I was wondering is if the GPS option comes up only if a GPS antenna is installed or does the enable option come up all the time?
