Question Voltage

I don't have a volt meter on my boat other than on my my GPS/ Chartplotter. I have 2 12V batteries with a selector switch.

Per the GPS reading, wehn I was running my motor yesterday, I was looking at 15.7V. The battery was fresh off the shelf after being charged and put away for the winter.

So I'm thinking there are several scenarios:
1. The GPS voltage readin is high.
2. The motor is overcharging.
3. Everything is fine & I shouldn't worry about it.

Appreciate any feedback, thinking about installing 2 volt meters on the dash.
