Owner's Manual

System Information: Provides information about the device and
the software version.
Simulator: Turns on the simulator and allows you to set the
speed and simulated location.
Display Settings
Not all options are available on all models.
Select Settings > System > Display.
Backlight: Sets the backlight level.
Color Mode: Sets the device to display day or night colors.
Screenshot Capture: Allows the device to save images of the
screen.
Menu Bar Display: Shows or automatically hides the menu bar
when it is not needed.
GPS Settings
Select Settings > System > GPS.
Skyview: Shows the relative position of GPS satellites in the
sky.
GLONASS: Turns on or off GLONASS usage (Russia satellite
system). When the system is used in situations with poor sky
visibility, this configuration can be used in combination with
GPS to provide more accurate position information.
WAAS/EGNOS: Turns on or off WAAS (in North America) or
EGNOS (in Europe), which can provide more-accurate GPS
position information. When using WAAS or EGNOS, the
device may take longer to acquire satellites.
Speed Filter: Averages the speed of your vessel over a short
period of time for smoother speed values.
Source: Allows you to select the preferred source for GPS.
Viewing the Event Log
The event log shows a list of system events.
Select Settings > System > System Information > Event
Log.
Viewing System Software Information
You can view the software version, the basemap version, all
supplemental map information (if applicable), the software
version for an optional Garmin radar (if applicable), and the unit
ID number. You may need this information to update the system
software or to purchase additional map data information.
Select Settings > System > System Information >
Software Information.
My Vessel Settings
NOTE: Some settings and options require additional charts or
hardware.
Select Settings > My Vessel.
Keel Offset: Offsets the surface reading for the depth of a keel,
making it possible to measure depth from the bottom of the
keel instead of from the transducer location (Setting the Keel
Offset).
Temp. Offset: Compensates for the water temperature reading
from a NMEA 0183 water-temperature sensor or a
temperature-capable transducer (Setting the Water
Temperature Offset).
Calibrate Water Speed: Calibrates the speed-sensing
transducer or sensor (Calibrating a Water Speed Device).
Fuel Capacity: Sets the combined fuel capacity of all the fuel
tanks on your vessel (Setting the Fuel Capacity of the
Vessel).
Vessel Type: Enables some chartplotter features based on the
boat type.
Fill Up All Tanks: Sets the tank levels to full (Synchronizing the
Fuel Data with the Actual Vessel Fuel).
Add Fuel to Boat: Allows you to enter the quantity of fuel you
added to your tank, when you did not entirely fill up the tank
(Synchronizing the Fuel Data with the Actual Vessel Fuel).
Set Total Fuel Onboard: Sets the combined amount of fuel in
all the fuel tanks on your vessel (Synchronizing the Fuel Data
with the Actual Vessel Fuel).
Set Gauge Limits: Sets the upper and lower limits of various
gauges (Customizing Engine Gauge and Fuel Gauge Limits).
Setting the Keel Offset
You can enter a keel offset to compensate the surface reading
for the depth of a keel, making it possible to measure depth from
the bottom of the keel instead of from the transducer location.
Enter a positive number to offset for a keel. You can enter a
negative number to compensate for a large vessel that may
draw several feet of water.
1
Complete an action, based on the location of the transducer:
• If the transducer is installed at the water line
À
, measure
the distance from the transducer location to the keel of the
boat. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a positive
number.
• If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel
Á
,
measure the distance from the transducer to the water
line. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a negative
number.
2
Select Settings > My Vessel > Keel Offset.
3
Select or based on the location of the transducer.
4
Enter the distance measured in step 1.
Calibrating a Water Speed Device
If you have a speed-sensing transducer connected to the
chartplotter, you can calibrate that speed-sensing device to
improve the accuracy of water-speed data displayed by the
chartplotter.
1
Select Settings > My Vessel > Calibrate Water Speed.
2
Follow the on-screen instructions.
If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is
not registering a speed, a message appears.
3
Select OK, and safely increase the boat speed.
4
If the message appears again, stop the boat, and ensure the
speed-sensor wheel is not stuck.
5
If the wheel turns freely, check the cable connections.
6
If you continue to get the message, contact Garmin product
support.
