Icon Description Tide station Current station Overhead photo available Perspective photo available Other features common to most charts include depth contour lines, intertidal zones, spot soundings (as depicted on the original paper chart), navigational aids and symbols, obstructions, and cable areas. Navigating to a Point on the Chart CAUTION The Auto Guidance feature is based on electronic chart information. That data does not ensure obstacle and bottom clearance.
You can view indicators for animated tide station and current direction on the Navigation chart or the Fishing chart. You must also enable animated icons in the chart settings (Showing Tides and Current Indicators, page 4). An indicator for a tide station appears on the chart as a vertical bar graph with an arrow. A red arrow pointing downward indicates a falling tide, and a blue arrow pointing upward indicates a rising tide.
speed information, or if the vessel is not moving, a projected course line does not appear. Changes in the speed, course over ground, or rate of turn information transmitted by the vessel can impact the calculation of the projected course line. When course over ground, heading, and rate of turn information are provided by an activated AIS target, the projected course of the target is calculated based on the course over ground and the rate of turn information.
Chart and 3D Chart View Settings NOTE: Not all settings apply to all charts and 3D chart views. Some options require premium maps or connected accessories. These settings apply to the charts and 3D chart views, except Fish Eye 3D (Fish Eye 3D Settings, page 7). From a chart or a 3D chart view, select MENU. Waypoints & Tracks: See Waypoints and Tracks Settings on the Charts and Chart Views, page 6. Other Vessels: See Other Vessels Settings on the Charts and Chart Views, page 7.
Safety Shading: Sets the shades from the shoreline to the specified depth. Depth Range Shading: Specifies an upper and lower depth to shade between. Symbols: Shows and configures the appearance of various symbols on the chart, such as the vessel icon, navaid symbols, land POIs, and light sectors. Style: Sets how the chart appears over 3D terrain. Hazard Colors: Shows shallow water and land with a color scale. Blue indicates deep water, yellow is shallow water, and red is very shallow water.
Basic Navigation Questions Question Answer How do I make the Navigate using Go To. See Setting and chartplotter point me in the Following a Direct Course Using Go To, direction in which I want to go page 8. (bearing)? How do I make the device guide me along a straight line (minimizing cross track) to a location using the shortest distance from the present location? Build a single-leg route and navigate it using Route To. See Creating and Navigating a Route from Your Present Location, page 9.
Stopping Navigation From the Navigation chart or Fishing chart, select MENU > Stop Navigation. Waypoints Waypoints are locations you record and store in the device. Marking Your Present Location as a Waypoint From any screen, select MARK. Creating a Waypoint at a Different Location 1 Select User Data > Waypoints > New Waypoint. 2 Select an option: • To create the waypoint by entering position coordinates, select Enter Coordinates, and enter the coordinates.
Browsing for and Navigating a Saved Route Before you can browse a list of routes and navigate to one of them, you must create and save at least one route. 1 Select User Data > Routes. 2 Select a route. 3 Select Navigate To. 4 Select an option: • To navigate the route from the starting point used when the route was created, select Forward. • To navigate the route from the destination point used when the route was created, select Backward. A magenta line appears.
Retracing the Active Track The track currently being recorded is called the active track. 1 Select User Data > Tracks > Follow Active Track. 2 Select an option: • Select the time the active track began. • Select Entire Log. 3 Review the course indicated by the colored line. 4 Follow the colored line, steering to avoid land, shallow water, and other obstacles. Clearing the Active Track Select User Data > Tracks > Clear Active Track. The track memory is cleared, and the active track continues to be recorded.
5 Review the placement of the Auto Guidance line, and determine whether the line safely avoids known obstacles and the turns enable efficient travel. 6 Select an option: • If the placement of the Auto Guidance line is satisfactory, select MENU > Stop Navigation, and proceed to step 10. • If the Auto Guidance line is too close to known obstacles, select Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Far.
The adjustments you can make to each sonar view vary depending on the view you are in and the chartplotter model and transducer you have connected. Sonar Views NOTE: To receive SideVü scanning sonar, you need a compatible chartplotter and a compatible transducer. SideVü scanning sonar technology shows you a picture of what lies to the sides of the boat. You can use this as a search tool to find structures and fish.
Selecting the Transducer Type Adjusting the Color Intensity Before you can select the transducer type, you must know what kind of transducer you have. This chartplotter is compatible with the Garmin ClearVü™ transducer as well as a range of accessory transducers including Garmin GT transducers, which are available at www.garmin.com. If you are connecting a transducer that was not included with the chartplotter, you may need to set the transducer type to make the sonar function properly.
while moving or trolling. A lower scroll speed displays sonar information on the screen longer. Setting the scroll speed on one sonar view applies to all the sonar views. 1 From a sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup > Scroll Speed. 2 Select an option: • To adjust the scroll speed automatically using speed-overground or water speed data, select Auto. The Auto setting selects a scroll rate to match the boat speed, so targets in the water are drawn with the correct aspect ratio and appear less distorted.
TVG: Adjusts the appearance of returns to compensate for weakened sonar signals in deeper water, and reduces the appearance of noise near the surface. When the value of this setting is increased, the colors associated with low-level noise and fish targets appear more consistent through various water depths. This setting also reduces the noise near the surface of the water. Sonar Installation Settings NOTE: Not all options and settings apply to all models and transducers.
