Additional Platinum™ Cartography Key Functions VIEW Key Your user interface consists of a set of easy-to-use keys that work with various on-screen views and menus to give you flexibility and control over your fishing experience.
4-WAY Cursor Control Key EXIT Key The 4-WAY Cursor Control key has multiple Platinum™ Cartography functions, depending on the situation: The EXIT key has one function specific to Platinum™ Cartography: Pilot Book Selection - Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to select a port icon (shown as a sailboat within a white square), then press the INFO key to display the Port Info menu.
INFO Key NOTE: Not all menu choices will be displayed, as they are dependent on what information is available from your MMC/SD card at that point in the map. Press the INFO key while in any navigation view to display information about objects that are nearest to an active cursor. NOTE: The built-in UniMap™ does not contain Port, Tide or Current information. This information is only available from optional purchase MMC/SD cards.
Sonar Views ZOOM (+/-) Keys Press the - or + ZOOM keys while in any of the Navigation Views or the Sonar Zoom View to change the scale of the view to appear closer or farther away. Views Combo View Bird's Eye View Track View NOTE: Platinum™ information, such as a 3D or photographic overlay, will not be displayed if you are zoomed out too far, or zoomed in too far. Use the ZOOM keys to adjust your perspective until you can see the Platinum™ information.
Chart/Pilot Book Combo View Chart/Pilot Book Combo View The pilot book is a collection of captain's log entries, displayed in book form, that is associated with certain ports. Chart/Pilot Book Combo View shows both the Chart and Pilot Book views in a combination split screen. You can perform any of the functions for either of these views, but only when the view you want to control is selected as the active side.
How to Use the Pilot Book NOTE: If the Chart Information text box appears, a pilot book might not be available. Check your cursor position first. Unless you are in the Chart/Pilot Book Combo View, you must have your cursor positioned inside one of the Platinum™ map borders, and directly over a port that has a pilot book associated with it, to view a pilot book.
The pilot book is divided into the following categories: Chapter Table of Contents: Displays the chapters available in the selected pilot book. Index: Displays the various pilot books available for this map. Pilot Book Chapter Table of Contents Pilot Book Index 1. Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to move through this Table of Contents and to select a particular chapter for viewing. 1.

Use the ZOOM keys to adjust your perspective until you can see the Platinum™ information. Bird's Eye View - This view shows a 3D, perspective view of the track from a point above and behind the boat (the eye point). As the boat turns, the eye point moves to follow the boat. See Platinum™ Menu Tab: 3D Aerial Overlay for more information.

Chart View Chart View shows cartography from the built-in UniMap™ or an optional MMC/SD map for the area surrounding your current position. The current track (also known as the position history or breadcrumb trail) showing where the boat has been, along with saved tracks, waypoints, and the current route (when navigating), are overlaid on the chart. See Chart Menu Tab; Platinum™ Cartography Additions: Map Borders for more information.
Nearest Port and Chart Information Panoramic Photo Platinum™ Cartography provides additional information when you press the INFO key on a part of the Bird's Eye or Chart Views that contains Platinum™ information. Whether the cursor is active or inactive will determine exactly what you see, as well as whether there are pilot books or panoramic photos available for your specific location.

Chart Menu Tab Platinum™ Cartography Additions Chart Detail Level Chart Detail Level allows you to select how much chart detail you want displayed on the Navigation Views. Basic shows land areas, ports, obstructions and restricted areas. Navigation shows navaids, landmarks, ferryways and navigation routes in addition to the Basic information. Underwater shows depth contours, fishing areas, underwater wrecks, tides and currents in addition to the Basic and Navigation information.
Map Borders Map Borders, shown with Optional-Purchase Navionics® Platinum™ Cartography on the Chart View Map Borders allows you to display or hide map borders or gridlines when Platinum™ data is available. A Map Border indicates an area which contains a different map. If you have an optionalpurchase Platinum™ Cartography MMC/SD card installed, selecting MMC/SD Only or All Visible will display Platinum™ map borders on the Chart Views, and 3D gridlines on the Bird's Eye View.

Highlight 3D Aerial Overlay on the Platinum™ Main Menu. 2.
Troubleshooting Fishing System Defaults to Simulator with a Transducer Attached A connected and functioning transducer will cause the newly-started Fishing System to go into Normal operating mode automatically. If, when you power up the Fishing System, it goes into Simulator mode automatically, even though a transducer is already connected, this means that the control head is not detecting the transducer.
Display Problems There are several main conditions or sources of possible interference that may cause problems with the quality of the information displayed on the control head. Look in the following table for some symptoms of display problems and possible solutions: Problem Possible Cause The control head loses power at high speeds. If the power output of your boat’s engine is unregulated, the control head may be protecting itself using its over-voltage protection feature.
Finding the Cause of Noise Electrical noise usually affects the display with many black dots at high speeds, and high sensitivity readings. One or more of the following sources can cause noise or interference: Possible Source of Noise Isolation Other electronic devices Turn off any nearby electronic devices to see if the problem goes away, then turn them on one at a time to see if the noise re-appears.
when using the Cannon™ Speed-n-Temp. You’ll never be shorthanded again, just make adjustments from the helm, while your mate rigs the lines and brings in the fish!

Glossary GPS & Navigation Terms Acquisition Time: The length of time that a GPS receiver typically takes to determine a position from at least three satellites. Humminbird® GPS receivers provide very fast acquisition times (under one minute), permitting users to get out on the water faster. Cold Start: Cold Start refers to the procedure that a GPS receiver must perform when it does not have historical information regarding its current location.
Glossary GPS & Navigation Terms This mathematical model is the Map Datum. Historically, many different Map Datums have been used around the world to create maps; often a reference to the Map Datum can be found in the legend of a paper map. It is important to select the correct Map Datum setting in your fishfinder when comparing GPS position to a paper chart to avoid slight position inaccuracies. Almost all electronic charts use the WGS84 Map Datum and therefore, they do not require setting changes.
Glossary GPS & Navigation Terms by GPS. An alternate, Speed Through Water, is provided by a speed paddlewheel, and is the measurement of the flow past the boat, which may vary depending on current speed and direction. Speed Over Ground is optimal for navigation because accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement. Humminbird® products allow for input and display of both speed measurements.
Glossary GPS & Navigation Terms Trolling Grid: Trolling Grid is a Humminbird® feature that displays a precise reference grid around a waypoint. This grid is used as a guide pattern for trolling around a specific area to assure a more efficient and complete coverage of that area. Trolling Grid resolution be changed by zooming in or out on the chart. The Trolling Grid can also be rotated on the display to orient it for optimal boat course for wave and wind conditions.
