See that button.. Third up from the bottom left on your keyboard... Press this once..

There is a lot here about connecting a GPS to the 1200.
Don't get intimidated by the Canbus.

There is an easy way to do this as there is a little plug socket up at your headstock you can tap the power off.

Looking below your handlebars towards the shock there is a little socket there with a cap and nothing plugged into it. You can buy a plug to for this socket .I actually think someone has put a good post about it somewhere on the site.

Bear in mind that the search function won't work for 3 letter words (i.e GPS) so maybe do a search for plug , heatstock , canbus etc..
