Applications
Sail Racing
You can use the quatix to increase the likelihood that your boat
will cross the start line of a race exactly when the race begins.
When you synchronize the race timer with the official race
countdown timer, the quatix alerts you at one-minute intervals
as the race start approaches. When you combine the race timer
with the virtual start line, the quatix measures your speed,
bearing, and remaining time on the countdown timer. The quatix
uses this data to indicate whether your boat will cross the start
line before, after, or at the correct time to start the race.
Setting the Race Timer
1Select the blue key.
2Select Sail Race > Setup > Race Timer.
3Use the blue key, , and to set the time.
Sail Racing with the Race Timer

You can define a race start line using two waypoints or the
waypoint of one end of the start line and the bearing to the other
end of the line.
1Select the blue key.
2Select Sail Race > Setup > Start Line.
3Select an option:
• To set your present location as the location of the first
point of the start line, select Mark Point > Mark.
• To use a previously saved waypoint as the location of the
first point of the start line, select Select, and select a
waypoint.
4Select an option:
• To set your present location as the location of the second
point of the start line, select Waypoints > Mark Point >
Mark.
• To use a previously saved waypoint as the location of the
second point of the start line, select Waypoints > Select,
and select a point.
• To set the bearing of the start line from the location of the
first waypoint, select Bearing, and enter the bearing.
Sail Racing Using the Start Line
Before you can use the device to start a race, you must select
the sailing profile and set the start line.
1Select the blue key.
2Select Sail Race > Race.
Applications 5
The race timer screen displays the race timer À, time to burn
Á, and distance to the start line Â.
3Select and to synchronize the race timer with the official
race countdown, and select the blue key to start the timer.
TIP: If the burn time is negative, you will arrive at the start
line after the race starts, and should modify your course or
speed accordingly. If the burn time is positive, you will arrive
at the start line before the race starts, and should modify
your course or speed accordingly.
TIP: If necessary, after you start the timer you can select
and to add or subtract time from the race timer.
Tack Assist
While cruising or racing into the wind, the quatix tack assist
feature can help you determine the ideal heading and when it is
time to tack. When you calibrate tack assist, the quatix stores
your boat's ideal port À and starboard Á tack angles and the
average true wind direction Â. It uses this data to determine
whether your boat is being positively lifted or negatively lifted
due to changes in the wind direction.
When your boat experiences positive lift, the wind direction À
has shifted so that your actual heading Á brings you closer to
your destination  than your intended heading à would have.
The quatix displays the degree to which your actual heading
varies from your expected heading Ä and your speed over
ground Å. The bezel marks Æ provide a quick reference that
corresponds to your lift angle.
When your heading indicates a consistent positive lift trend, you
should re-calibrate the true wind direction or the angle for the
current tack. Re-calibration ensures the tack assist provides
accurate information.
When your boat experiences negative lift, the wind direction À
has shifted so that your actual heading Á pushes you farther
from your destination  than your intended heading à would
have. The quatix displays the degree to which your actual
heading varies from your expected heading Ä and your speed
over ground Å. The bezel marks Æ provide a quick reference
that corresponds to your lift angle.
6 Applications
When your heading indicates a consistent negative lift trend,
you should change tack, then re-calibrate the true wind direction
or the angle for the current tack. Re-calibration ensures the tack
assist provides accurate information.
NOTE: The quatix uses GPS-based speed over ground to
determine your heading, and does not account for other factors
that can affect your boat's direction, such as currents and tides.
Calibrating the Tack Assist
Before you start a race, you must calibrate the optimal tack
angle for your boat.
1Select the blue key.
2Select Tack Assist > Full Cal..

3Select an option:
• To recalibrate the port or starboard tack, hold a steady
course along the intended port or starboard tack, and
select Recal..
NOTE: When you recalibrate the port or starboard tack,
the opposite tack is reset to maintain a consistent tack
angle.
• To change the tack angle, select Tack Angle, and select
an angle.
NOTE: When you change the tack angle, the port and
starboard tacks are equally increased or decreased.
• To change the true wind direction, select True Wind D,
and select the direction.

Alerts
You can set the device to alert you in many different situations
where your awareness of the surrounding conditions or other
data is important. There are three types of alerts: event alerts,
range alerts, and recurring alerts.
Event alert: An event alert notifies you once. The event is a
specific value. For example, you can set the device to alert
you when you reach a specified elevation.
Range alert: A range alert notifies you every time the device is
above or below a specified range of values. For example,
you can set the device to alert you when your speed is below
5 knots and over 15 knots.
Recurring alert: A recurring alert notifies you every time the
device records a specified value or interval. For example,
you can set the device to alert you every 30 minutes.

ANT+™ Sensors
The device is compatible with these optional, wireless ANT+
accessories.
• tempe™ wireless temperature sensor (page 9)
• Heart rate monitor
For information about compatibility and purchasing additional
sensors, go to http://buy.garmin.com.
Pairing ANT+ Sensors
Pairing is the connecting of ANT+ wireless devices, for
example, connecting a tempe temperature sensor with your
Garmin device.
1Bring the device within range (3 m) of the sensor.
NOTE: Stay 10 m away from other ANT+ sensors while
pairing.
2Select the blue key.
3Select Setup > ANT Sensor.
4Select your sensor.
5Select New Search.
When the sensor is paired with your device, the sensor
status changes from Searching to Connected. Sensor data
appears in the data page loop or a custom data field.
Streaming NMEA 2000 Data
While tracking or navigating, your device can stream data from
a NMEA 2000 network equipped with a Garmin GNT.
1Select the blue key.
2Select Setup > ANT Sensor > GNT > On.
The data pages display information from the sensors
connected to the NMEA 2000 network. You can customize
the data fields that appear on each data page.

device to automatically trigger the preset man overboard
function if the device loses contact with a GNT for more than 10
seconds.
1Select the blue key.
2Select Auto MOB > On.
When the device loses contact with a GNT for more than 10
seconds, the man overboard function is activated on the
device and on all chartplotters connected to the NMEA 2000
network. A man overboard waypoint is created on the
chartplotter and the device.
3Select an option:
• To acknowledge the man overboard activation and save
the MOB waypoint, select Confirm.
• To dismiss the man overboard activation in the case of
accidental triggering, select Clear.
• To dismiss the man overboard activation and turn off the
automatic man overboard function, select Disable.
tempe
The tempe is an ANT+ wireless temperature sensor. You can
attach the sensor to a secure strap or loop where it is exposed
to ambient air, and therefore, provides a consistent source of
accurate temperature data. You must pair the tempe with your
device to display temperature data from the tempe.
Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor
NOTE: If you do not have a heart rate monitor, you can skip this
task.
You should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin,
just below your breastplate. It should be snug enough to stay in
place during your activity.
1Snap the heart rate monitor module À onto the strap.
2Wet both electrodes Á on the back of the strap to create a
strong connection between your chest and the transmitter.
3If the heart rate monitor has a contact patch Â, wet the
contact patch.
4Wrap the strap around your chest, and connect the strap
hook à to the loop.
The Garmin logo should be right-side up.
5Bring the device within range (3 m) of the heart rate monitor.
After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is on standby and
ready to send data.
TIP: If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you may
have to tighten the strap on your chest or warm up for 5–10
minutes.
