From a sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup > Appearance > A-Scope. Selecting the Transducer Type Before you can select the transducer type, you must know what kind of transducer you have. 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. If the device automatically detected your transducer, this option does not appear.
1 Insert a memory card into the card slot. 2 From a sonar view, select MENU > Record Sonar. 15 minutes of sonar recording uses approximately 200 MB of space of the inserted memory card. You can record sonar until the card reaches capacity. Stopping the Sonar Recording Before you can stop recording the sonar, you must begin recording it (Recording the Sonar Display). From a sonar view, select MENU > Stop Recording. Deleting a Sonar Recording 1 Insert a memory card into the card slot.
Especially in inclement weather, longer-range radar signals can increase the clutter on the Radar screen and make it more difficult to view information about shorter-range targets. In rain, shorter-range radar signals can enable you to view information about nearby objects more effectively, if the rain clutter setting is configured optimally. • Select the shortest effective range, given your reason for using radar and the present environmental conditions.
You can adjust the diameter of the VRM and the angle of the EBL, which moves the intersection point of the VRM and the EBL. The VRM and the EBL configured for one mode are applied to all other radar modes. 1 From a Radar screen, select a new location for the intersection point of the VRM and the EBL. 2 Select Drop VRM/EBL. 3 Select Stop Panning. NOTE: You can optimize the radar display for each radar mode. 1 Select a radar range (Range of Radar Signals).
Reducing the gain to eliminate nearby large-object interference may cause smaller or distant targets to blink or disappear from the Radar screen. Minimizing Side-Lobe Interference on the Radar Screen Side-lobe interference may appear to streak outward from a target in a semi-circular pattern. Side-lobe effects can be avoided by reducing the gain or reducing the radar range.
Gauges and Almanac Information Gauges provide various information about the trip, engine, environment, and wind, and are available on all chartplotter models. Numbers, Compass, and Trip gauges are available on all chartplotters. Wind and Environment gauges require valid wind data from the NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 network. Engine gauges require a connection to the NMEA 2000 network, so they are not available on all chartplotter models.
You can set an alarm to sound when the total amount of remaining onboard fuel reaches the level you specify. 1 Select Settings > Alarms > Fuel > Fuel Alarm > On. 2 Enter the remaining amount of fuel that triggers the alarm. Viewing the Wind Gauges Before you can view wind information, you must have a wind sensor connected to the chartplotter. Select Gauges > Wind. Configuring the Sailing Wind Gauge You can configure the sailing wind gauge to show true or apparent wind speed and angle.

A Garmin SiriusXM satellite weather receiver and antenna receives satellite weather data and shows it on various Garmin devices, including the Navigation chart on a compatible chartplotter. The weather data for each feature comes from reputable weather data centers such as the National Weather Service and the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center. For more information, go to www.siriusxm.com/sxmmarine.
PressureCenter Symbol Description Indicates a low-pressure center, which is a region of relatively lower pressure. Moving away from a lowpressure center results in increased pressure. Winds flow counterclockwise around low-pressure centers in the northern hemisphere. Indicates a high-pressure center, which is a region of relatively higher pressure. Moving away from a highpressure center results in decreased pressure. Winds flow clockwise around high-pressure centers in the northern hemisphere.

transfer may take a long time, depending on the number of waypoints being transferred. 1 Select Nav Info > Manage Data > Data Transfer > Network. 2 Select an option: • To transfer data from the chartplotter to the other chartplotters connected to the network, select Clone User Data. Existing data is overwritten on those chartplotters. • To transfer data between all the chartplotters connected to the network, select Merge User Data. Unique data is combined with existing data on every chartplotter.
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).
Wi-Fi® Network: Allows you set up the Wi‑Fi network (Setting Up the Wi‑Fi® Wireless Network). GPS Accuracy: Sets an alarm to sound when the GPS location accuracy falls outside the user-defined value. NMEA 0183 Setting the Fuel Alarm The chartplotters support the NMEA 0183 standard, which is used to connect various NMEA 0183 devices, such as VHF radios, NMEA instruments, autopilots, wind sensors, and heading sensors.
route or an Auto Guidance line with many frequent turns or at higher speeds. For straighter routes or slower speeds, lowering this value can improve autopilot accuracy. Route Start: Selects a starting point for route navigation. Auto Guidance Line Configurations CAUTION The Safe Depth and Safe Height settings influence how the chartplotter calculates an Auto Guidance line. If an area has an unknown water depth or an unknown obstacle height, the Auto Guidance line is not calculated in that area.
Cleaning the Screen NOTICE Cleaners containing ammonia will harm the anti-reflective coating. The device is coated with a special anti-reflective coating which is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. 1 Apply an eyeglass lens cleaner specified as safe for antireflective coatings to the cloth. 2 Gently wipe the screen with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Screenshots You can capture a screenshot of any screen shown on your chartplotter as a bitmap (.bmp) file.
