A red X indicates that the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost, and the chartplotter displays a message banner asking whether the vessel should continue to be tracked. If you discontinue vessel tracking, the lost dangerous target symbol disappears from the chart or the 3D chart view. The location of this symbol indicates the closest point of approach to a dangerous target, and the numbers near the symbol indicate the time to the closest point of approach to that target. Heading and Projected Course of Activated AIS Targets When heading and course over ground information are provided by an activated AIS target, the heading of the target appears on a chart as a solid line attached to the AIS target symbol. A heading line does not appear on a 3D chart view. The projected course of an activated AIS target appears as a dashed line on a chart or a 3D chart view. The length of the projected course line is based on the value of the projected heading setting. If an activated AIS target is not transmitting 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. The direction in which the target is turning, which is also based on the rate of turn information, is indicated by the direction of the Charts and 3D Chart Views barb at the end of the heading line. The length of the barb does not change. Showing AIS Vessels on a Chart or 3D Chart View AIS Distress Signals Self-contained AIS distress signal devices transmit emergency position reports when activated. The chartplotter can receive signals from Search and Rescue Transmitters (SART), Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB), and other man overboard signals. Distress signal transmissions are different than standard AIS transmissions, so they appear differently on the chartplotter. Instead of tracking a distress signal transmission for collision avoidance, you track a distress signal transmission to locate and assist a vessel or person. Navigating to a Distress Signal Transmission When you receive a distress signal transmission, a distress signal alarm appears. Select Review > Go To to begin navigation to the transmission. AF Before you can use AIS, you must connect the chartplotter to an external AIS device and receive active transponder signals from other vessels. You can configure how other vessels appear on a chart or on a 3D chart view. The display range configured for one chart or one 3D chart view are applied only to that chart or to that 3D chart view. The details, projected heading, and trails settings configured for one chart or one 3D chart view are applied to all charts and to all 3D chart views. 1 From a chart or 3D chart view, select MENU > Other Vessels > Display Setup. 2 Select an option: • To indicate the distance from your location in which AIS vessels appear, select Display Range, and select a distance. • To show details about AIS-activated vessels, select Details > Show. • To set the projected heading time for AIS-activated vessels, select Proj.

Sentry mode works with all Garmin GMR model radars. 3 Select the location of the inner guard zone circle to define radar. As the range increases, the radar transmits longer pulses in order to reach distant targets. Closer targets, especially rain and waves, also reflect the longer pulses, which can add noise to the Radar screen. Viewing information about longer-range targets can also decrease the amount of space available on the Radar screen for viewing information about shorter-range targets. • Determine what information you need to see on the Radar screen. For example, do you need information about nearby weather conditions or targets and traffic, or are you more concerned about distant weather conditions? • Assess the environmental conditions where the radar is being used. 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 shorterrange 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. Marking a Waypoint on the Radar Screen 1 From a Radar screen or the Radar overlay, select a location. 2 Select Create Waypoint. Viewing a List of AIS Threats From any Radar screen or the Radar overlay, you can view and customize the appearance of a list of AIS threats. From a Radar screen or the Radar overlay, select MENU > Other Vessels > AIS List. Showing AIS Vessels on the Radar Screen AIS requires the use of an external AIS device and active transponder signals from other vessels. You can configure how other vessels appear on the Radar screen. If any setting (except the AIS display range) is configured for one radar mode, the setting is applied to every other radar mode. The details and projected heading settings configured for one radar mode are applied to every other radar mode and to the Radar overlay. 1 From a Radar screen or the Radar overlay, select MENU > Other Vessels > Display Setup. 2 Select an option: • To indicate the distance from your location within which AIS vessels appear, select AIS Display Range, and select a distance. • To show details about AIS-activated vessels, select Details > Show. • To set the projected heading time for AIS-activated vessels, select Projected Heading, and enter the time. • To show the tracks of AIS vessels, select Trails, and select the length of the track that appears. 15 The variable range marker (VRM) and the electronic bearing line (EBL) measure the distance and bearing from your boat to a target object. On the Radar screen, the VRM appears as a circle that is centered on the present location of your boat, and the EBL appears as a line that begins at the present location of your boat and intersects the VRM. The point of intersection is the target of the VRM and the EBL. Showing the VRM and the EBL The VRM and the EBL configured for one mode are applied to all other radar modes. From a Radar screen, select MENU > Show VRM/EBL. Adjusting the VRM and the EBL Before you can adjust the VRM and the EBL, you must show them on the Radar screen (page 16). 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. Measuring the Range and Bearing to a Target Object Radar Overlay When you connect your chartplotter to an optional Garmin marine radar, you can use the Radar overlay to overlay radar information on the Navigation chart or on the Fishing chart. The Radar overlay superimposes radar information on the Navigation chart or the Fishing chart. Data appears on the Radar overlay based on the most recently used radar mode (such as Harbor, Offshore, or Sentry), and all settings configurations applied to the Radar overlay are also applied to the last-used radar mode. For example, if you use Harbor mode and then you switch to the Radar overlay, the Radar overlay would show Harbor mode radar data. If you changed the gain setting using the Radar overlay menu, the gain setting for Harbor mode would change automatically. Radar Overlay and Chart Data Alignment When using the Radar overlay, the chartplotter aligns radar data with chart data based on the boat heading, which is based by default on data from a magnetic heading sensor connected using a NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 network. If a heading sensor is not available, the boat heading is based on GPS tracking data. GPS tracking data indicates the direction in which the boat is moving, not the direction in which the boat is pointing. If the boat is drifting backward or sideways due to a current or wind, the Radar overlay may not perfectly align with the chart data. This situation should be avoided by using boat-heading data from an electronic compass. 16 Showing the Radar Overlay The Radar overlay displays data based on the most recently used radar mode. From a Radar screen, select MENU > Change Radar > Radar Overlay. The radar picture appears in orange and overlays the Navigation chart. Stopping the Transmission of Radar Signals From a Radar screen, select MENU > Radar to Standby. Optimizing the Radar Display You can adjust the radar display settings for reduced clutter and increased accuracy. NOTE: You can optimize the radar display for each radar mode. 1 Select a radar range (page 16). 2 Restore the default value of the gain setting (page 16). 3 Adjust the gain setting manually (page 17). AF Before you can adjust the VRM and the EBL, you must show them on the Radar screen (page 16). 1 From a Radar screen, select the target location. 2 Select Measure Distance. The range and the bearing to the target location appear in the upper-left corner of the screen. If the boat heading is based on data from a magnetic heading sensor or an automatic pilot, the heading data could be compromised due to incorrect setup, mechanical malfunction, magnetic interference, or other factors. If the heading data is compromised, the Radar overlay may not align perfectly with the chart data. VRM and EBL Range of Radar Signals The range of the radar signal indicates the length of the pulsed signal transmitted and received by the radar. As the range increases, the radar transmits longer pulses in order to reach distant targets. Closer targets, especially rain and waves, also reflect the longer pulses, which can add noise to the Radar screen. Viewing information about longer-range targets can also decrease the amount of space available on the Radar screen for viewing information about shorter-range targets. Radar Gain and Clutter Adjusting Gain on the Radar Screen Automatically The automatic gain setting for each radar mode is optimized for that mode, and may differ from the automatic gain setting used for another mode. NOTE: Depending upon the radar in use, the gain setting configured for use in one radar mode may or may not be applied to other radar modes or to the Radar overlay. NOTE: Not all options and settings are available on all radar and chartplotter models. 1 From a Radar screen or the Radar overlay, select MENU > Gain. 2 Select an available option: • Select Auto.

Adjusting Rain Clutter on the Radar Screen You can adjust the appearance of clutter caused by rain. Reducing the radar range also can minimize rain clutter (page 14). The rain clutter setting affects the appearance of nearby rain clutter and targets more than it affects the appearance of distant rain clutter and targets. A higher rain clutter setting reduces the appearance of clutter caused by nearby rain, but it can also reduce or eliminate the appearance of nearby targets. NOTE: Depending upon the radar in use, the rain clutter settings configured for use in one radar mode may or may not be applied to other radar modes or to the Radar overlay. 1 From a Radar screen or the Radar overlay, select MENU > Noise Rejection > Rain Clutter. 2 Select Up or Down to decrease or increase the appearance of nearby rain clutter until other targets are clearly visible on the Radar screen. Clutter caused by rain may still be visible. Reducing Cross Talk Clutter on the Radar Screen You can reduce the appearance of clutter caused by interference from another nearby radar source, when the cross talk reject setting is on. NOTE: Depending upon the radar in use, the cross talk reject setting configured for use in one radar mode may or may not be applied to other radar modes or to the Radar overlay. From a Radar screen or the Radar overlay, select MENU > Noise Rejection > Cross Talk Reject. AF Minimizing Nearby Large-Object Interference Nearby targets of significant size, such as jetty walls, can cause a very bright image of the target to appear on the Radar screen. This image can obscure smaller targets located near it.
