You can follow the course or the route on the Navigation chart, Fishing chart, Perspective 3D chart view, or Mariner’s Eye 3D chart view.
the destination. The path may run over land and other obstacles. Route To: Creates a route from your location to a destination, allowing you to add turns along the way. This option provides a straight line course to the destination, but allows you to add turns into the route that avoid land and other obstacles. Auto Guidance: Creates a path to a destination using Auto Guidance. This option is available only when using a compatible premium chart in a compatible chartplotter.
NOTE: The offshore Fishing chart is available with premium charts, in some areas. 1 From the Navigation chart or Fishing chart, select a destination. 2 Select Navigate To > Route To. 3 Select the location of the last turn before the destination. 4 Select Add Turn. 5 If necessary, repeat step 3 and 4 to add additional turns, working backward from the destination to the present location of your vessel.

You can create boundary areas, lines, and circles using the map. You can also convert saved tracks and routes into boundary lines. You can create a boundary area using waypoints by creating a route from the waypoints, and converting the route into a boundary line. You can select a boundary to act as the active boundary. You can add the active boundary data to the data fields on the chart. Creating a Boundary 1 Select User Data > Boundaries > New Boundary. 2 Select a boundary shape.
similar to the shape of the beam in a copying machine. These beams provide a clearer, picture-like image of what is beneath the boat. SideVü Sonar View NOTE: Not all models provide built-in SideVü sonar support. If your model does not provide built-in SideVü sonar, you need a compatible sounder module and compatible SideVü transducer. If your model does provide built-in SideVü sonar, you need a compatible SideVü transducer.
stationary and you need to see the bottom and the fish approaching the boat. À Á Â Ã Ä Å Color legend Boat Ping indicator Fish Bottom Range RealVü 3D Down Sonar View This sonar view shows a three-dimensional view of what is below the transducer and can be used when you are stationary and want to see what is around your boat.
ClearVü mounted at the back of the boat, you can view the sonar data using the 93sv mounted at the front of your boat. When sharing sonar data, the values of some sonar settings, such as Range and Gain, are synchronized across the devices on the network. The values of other sonar settings, such as the Appearance settings, are not synchronized and should be configured on each individual device.
The high contrast color schemes provide darker color assignments to the low intensity returns. The low contrast color schemes provide color assignments to the low intensity returns that are similar to the background color. Appearance: See Sonar Appearance Settings, page 19. Overlay Numbers: Sets the data shown on the sonar screen. Advanced: See Advanced Sonar Settings, page 19. Installation: Restores the default sonar settings.
Surface Noise: Hides surface noise to help reduce clutter. Wider beam widths (lower frequencies) can show more targets, but can generate more surface noise. Color Gain: See Adjusting the Level of Detail, page 18. TVG: Adjusts the appearance of returns to compensate for weakened sonar signals in deeper water, and reduces the appearance of noise near the surface.
Gain: Controls the level of detail and noise shown on the sonar screen. If you want to see the highest intensity signal returns on the screen, you can lower the gain to remove lower intensity returns and noise. If you want to see all return information, you can increase the gain to see more information on the screen. This also increases noise, and can make it more difficult to recognize actual returns. Depth Range: Adjusts the range of the depth scale.
transducers are installed at a 45-degree angle and down view transducers are installed at a zero-degree angle. Flipped: Sets the orientation of the Panoptix sonar view when the down view transducer is installed with the cables pointing toward the port side of the boat. This applies to Panoptix transducers in the LiveVü Down, RealVü 3D Down, and RealVü 3D Historical sonar views. Calibrate Compass: Calibrates the internal compass in the Panoptix transducer (Transducer Installation Settings, page 20).
2 Select Engage Port or Engage Starboard. Setting Up and Following the Circles Pattern You can use the circles pattern to steer the boat in a continuous circle, in a specified direction, and at a specified time interval. 1 From the autopilot screen, select MENU > Pattern Steering > Circles. 2 If necessary, select Time, and select a time for the autopilot to steer one complete circle. 3 Select Engage Port or Engage Starboard.
a higher number. For laylines that display a higher sensitivity to changes in the boat's heading or true wind angle, enter a lower number. Setting the Keel Offset You can enter a keel offset to compensate the water depth reading for the transducer installation location. This allows you to view the depth of the water below the keel or the true depth of the water, depending on your needs.
Gauges and Graphs The gauges and graphs provide various information about the engine and environment. To view the information, a compatible transducer or sensor must be connected to the network. Viewing the Compass You can view information about your bearing, heading, and route using the compass. Select Gauges > Compass. Viewing Trip Gauges Trip gauges show information for odometer, speed, time, and fuel for your present trip. Select Gauges > Trip. Resetting Trip Gauges 1 Select Gauges > Trip.
NOTE: When moving at low speeds or when stationary, the magnetic compass source is more accurate than the GPS source. Customizing the Close-Hauled Wind Gauge You can specify the range of the close-hauled wind gauge for both the upwind scale and the downwind scale. 1 From the wind gauge, select MENU > Compass Gauge > Set Gauge Type > Close Hauled Gauge.
Position Tracking Individual Routine Calls When you connect the chartplotter to a VHF radio using NMEA 0183, you can track vessels that send position reports. This feature is also available with NMEA 2000, when the vessel sends the correct PGN data (PGN 129808; DSC Call Information). Every position report call received is logged in the DSC list (DSC List, page 26). When you connect the chartplotter to a Garmin VHF radio, you can use the chartplotter interface to set up an individual routine call.

Setting the DAB Tuner Region Locating a SiriusXM Radio ID You must select the region you are in to receive DAB stations properly. 1 From the media screen, select MENU > Installation > Tuner Region. Select the region you are in. 2 Before you can activate your SiriusXM subscription, you must have the radio ID of your SiriusXM Connect Tuner. You can locate the SiriusXM Radio ID on the back of the SiriusXM Connect Tuner, on the back of its packaging, or by tuning your chartplotter to channel 0.
A list of channels appears. A checkmark indicates a locked channel. NOTE: When you view the channels after setting parental controls, the display changes: • indicates a locked channel. • indicates an unlocked channel. Changing a Parental Passcode on a SiriusXM Radio Before you can change the passcode, the parental controls must be unlocked. 1 From the media screen, select Browse > Parental > Change PIN. 2 Enter your passcode and select Done. 3 Enter a new passcode. 4 Confirm the new passcode.
