The photo was taken from the location of the camera, pointed in the direction of the cone.2Select Aerial Photo.Automatic Identification SystemThe Automatic Identification System (AIS) enables you to identify and track other vessels, and alerts you to area traffic. When connected to an external AIS device, the chartplotter can show some AIS information about other vessels that are within range, that are equipped with a transponder, and that are actively transmitting AIS information.The information reported for each vessel includes the Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI), location, GPS speed, GPS heading, time that has elapsed since the last position of the vessel was reported, nearest approach, and time to the nearest approach.Some chartplotter models also support Blue Force Tracking. Vessels being tracked with Blue Force Tracking are indicated on the chartplotter with a blue-green color.AIS Targeting SymbolsSymbol DescriptionAIS vessel. The vessel is reporting AIS information. The direction in which the triangle is pointing indicates the direction in which the AIS vessel is moving.Target is selected.Target is activated. The target appears larger on the chart. A green line attached to the target indicates the heading of the target. The MMSI, speed, and direction of the vessel appear beneath the target, if the details setting has been set to Show. If the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost, a message banner appears.Symbol DescriptionTarget is lost. A green 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 target symbol disappears from the chart or the 3D chart view.Dangerous target in range. The target flashes while an alarm sounds and a message banner appears. After the alarm has been acknowledged, a solid red triangle with a red line attached to it indicates the location and the heading of the target. If the safe-zone collision alarm has been set to Off, the target flashes, but the audible alarm does not sound and the alarm banner does not appear. If the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost, a message banner appears.Dangerous target is lost. 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.NOTE: Vessels being tracked with the Blue Force Tracking feature are indicated with a blue-green color regardless of their status.Heading and Projected Course of Activated AIS TargetsWhen 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 barb at the end of the heading line. The length of the barb does not change.When course over ground and heading information are provided by an activated AIS target, but rate of turn information is not provided, the projected course of the target is calculated based on the course over ground information.Showing AIS and MARPA Vessels on a Chart or on a 3D Chart ViewBefore you can show AIS vessels on a chart, you must have an external AIS device and active transponder signals from other vessels. Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functionality works with radar.You can configure how other vessels appear on a chart or on a 3D chart view. The display range and MARPA settings 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.Charts and 3D Chart Views 5CONFIDENTIAL

MARPA functionality works with radar. The safe zone is used for collision avoidance and can be customized.1Select Settings > Alarms > AIS > Collision Alarm > On.A message banner appears and an alarm sounds when a MARPA-tagged object or an AIS-activated vessel enters the safe-zone area around your boat. The object is also labeled as dangerous on the screen. When the alarm is off, the message banner and audible alarm are disabled, but the object is still labeled as dangerous on the screen.2Select Range.3Select a distance for the safe-zone radius around your vessel.4Select Time To.5Select a time at which the alarm will sound if a target is determined to intersect the safe zone.For example, to be notified of a pending intersection 10 minutes before it will likely occur, set Time To to 10, and the alarm will sound 10 minutes before the vessel intersects the safe zone.AIS Distress SignalsSelf-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 TransmissionWhen you receive a distress signal transmission, a distress signal alarm appears.Select Review > Go To to begin navigation to the transmission.AIS Distress Signal Device Targeting SymbolsSymbol DescriptionAIS distress signal device transmission.

If an area has an unknown water depth or an unknown obstacle height, the Auto Guidance line is not calculated in that area. If an area at the beginning or the end of an Auto Guidance line is shallower than the safe water depth or lower than the safe obstacle height, the Auto Guidance line is not calculated in that area. On the chart, the course through those areas appears as a gray line. When your boat enters one of those areas, a warning message appears.NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some areas.You can set the parameters the chartplotter uses when calculating an Auto Guidance line.Safe Depth: Sets the minimum depth (chart depth datum) the chartplotter uses when calculating an Auto Guidance line.NOTE: The minimum safe depth for the premium charts is 3 feet. If you enter a Safe Depth value of less than 3 feet, the charts only use depths of 3 feet for Auto Guidance route calculations.Safe Height: Sets the minimum height (chart height datum) of a bridge that your boat can safely travel under.Shoreline Distance: Sets how close to the shore you want the Auto Guidance line to be placed. The Auto Guidance line may move if you change this setting while navigating. The available values for this setting are relative, not absolute. To ensure that the Auto Guidance line is placed the appropriate distance from shore, you can assess the placement of the Auto Guidance line using one or more familiar destinations that require navigation through a narrow waterway (Adjusting the Distance from Shore).Adjusting the Distance from ShoreThe Shoreline Distance setting indicates how close to the shore you want the Auto Guidance line to be placed.

Sailing FeaturesSetting the Vessel TypeYou can select your boat type to configure the chartplotter settings and to use features customized for your boat type.1Select Settings > My Vessel > Vessel Type.2Select Powerboat or Sailboat.Sail RacingYou can use the device 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, you are alerted at one-minute intervals as the race start approaches. When you combine the race timer with the virtual start line, the device measures your speed, bearing, and remaining time on the countdown timer. The device uses this data to indicate whether your boat will cross the start line before, after, or at the correct time to start the race.Starting Line GuidanceSailing start line guidance is a visual representation of the information you need to cross the start line at the optimal time and speed.After you set the starboard and port start line pins, and the target speed and time, and after you start the race timer, a predictor line appears. The predictor line extends from your current location toward the start line and the laylines that extend from each pin.The end point and color of the predictor line indicate where the boat will be when the timer expires, based on your current boat speed.When the end point is before the start line, the line is white. This indicates the boat must increase speed to reach the start line on time.When the end point is past the start line, the line is red. This indicates the boat must reduce speed to avoid a penalty for reaching the start line before the timer expires.When the end point is on the start line, the line is white. This indicates the boat is moving at an optimal speed to reach the start line when the timer expires.By default, the start line guidance window and the race timer window appear in the Sail Racing combination screen.Setting the Starting LineThe start line guidance window is added to the Sail Racing combination screen by default.1From the Sail Racing combination screen, select Menu > Start Line Guidance > Start Line.2Select an option:• To mark the port and starboard starting line marks as you sail past them, select Ping Marks.• To mark the port and starboard starting line marks by entering their coordinates, select Enter Coordinates.• To switch the position of the port and starboard marks after you have set them, select Swap Port & Starbd.

You can also use the autopilot to control the rudder while tacking and gybing.Wind HoldYou can set the autopilot to maintain a specific bearing relative to the current wind angle. Your device must be connected to a NMEA 2000 or NMEA® 0183 compatible wind sensor to perform a wind hold or a wind-based tack or gybe.Setting the Wind Hold TypeBefore you can enable the wind hold type, you must connect a NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 wind sensor to the autopilot.For advanced autopilot configuration, see the installation instructions included with your autopilot.1From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Autopilot Menu > Autopilot Setup > Wind Hold Type.2Select Apparent or True.Engaging Wind HoldBefore you can enable the wind hold type, you must connect a NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 wind sensor to the autopilot.When the autopilot is in standby mode, select Wind Hold.Engaging Wind Hold from Heading HoldBefore you can enable the wind hold type, you must connect a NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 wind sensor to the autopilot.With heading hold engaged, select Menu > Wind Hold.Adjusting the Wind Hold Angle with the AutopilotYou can adjust the wind hold angle on the autopilot when wind hold is engaged.• To adjust the wind hold angle in increments of 1°, select or .• To adjust the wind hold angle in increments of 10°, hold or .Tack and GybeYou can set the autopilot to perform a tack or gybe while heading hold or wind hold is engaged.Tacking and Gybing from Heading Hold1Engage heading hold (Engaging the Autopilot).2Select Menu > Autopilot Menu > Tack Gybe.3Select a direction.The autopilot steers your boat through a tack or gybe.Tacking and Gybing from Wind HoldBefore you can engage wind hold, you must have a wind sensor installed.1Engage wind hold (Engaging Wind Hold).2Select Menu > Tack Gybe.3Select Tack or Gybe.The autopilot steers your boat through a tack or gybe, and information about the progress of the tack or gybe appears on the screen.Setting a Tack and Gybe DelayThe tack and gybe delay allows you to delay steering a tack and gybe after you initiate the maneuver.1From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Autopilot Menu > Autopilot Setup > Sailing Setup > Tack Delay.2Select the length of the delay.3If necessary, select Done.Enabling the Gybe InhibitorNOTE: The gybe inhibitor does not prevent you from manually performing a gybe using the helm or step steering.The gybe inhibitor prevents the autopilot from performing a gybe.1Select Menu > Autopilot Menu > Autopilot Setup > Sailing Setup > Gybe Inhibitor.2Select Enabled.SonarWhen properly connected to a compatible transducer, your chartplotter can be used as a fishfinder. Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area.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 ViewsThe sonar views available vary depending on the type of transducer and optional sounder module connected to the chartplotter. For example, you can view the Split Frequency view only if you have a dual-frequency transducer connected.There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a full-screen view, a split-screen view that combines two or more views, a split-zoom view, and a split-frequency view that displays two different frequencies. You can customize the settings for each view in the screen. For example, if you are viewing the split-frequency view, you can adjust the gain for each of the frequencies separately.If you do not see an arrangement of sonar views to suit your needs, you can create a custom screen (Adding a Custom Combination Screen).Traditional Sonar ViewThere are several full-screen views available, depending on the equipment connected.The full-screen Traditional sonar view show a large image of the sonar readings from a transducer. The range scale along the right side of the screen shows the depth of detected objects as the screen scrolls from the right to the left.14 SonarCONFIDENTIAL

ÀDepth informationÁSuspended targets or fishÂBottom of the body of waterDownVü Sonar ViewNOTE: Not all models support DownVü sonar technology and transducers.NOTE: To receive DownVü scanning sonar, you need a compatible chartplotter or fishfinder and a compatible transducer.DownVü high-frequency sonar provides a clearer picture below the boat, providing a more detailed representation of structures the boat is passing over.Traditional transducers emit a conical beam. The DownVü scanning sonar technology emits a narrow beam, similar to the shape of the beam in a copying machine. This beam provides a clearer, picture-like image of what is beneath the boat.SideVü Sonar ViewNOTE: Not all models support SideVü sonar and scanning transducers.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.ÀLeft side of the boatÁRight side of the boatÂThe transducer on your vesselÃTreesÄOld tiresÅLogsÆDistance from the side of the boatSideVü/DownVü Scanning TechnologyInstead of a more common conical beam, the SideVü/DownVü transducer uses a flat beam to scan the water and ground to the sides of your boat.Split-Zoom Sonar ViewThe split-zoom sonar view shows a full-view graph of sonar readings, and a magnified portion of that graph, on the same screen.Split-Frequency Sonar ViewIn the split-frequency sonar view, one side of the screen shows a full-view graph of high frequency sonar data, and the other side of the screen shows a full-view graph of lower frequency sonar data.NOTE: The split-frequency sonar view requires the use of a dual-frequency transducer.Changing the Sonar View1From a combination screen or SmartMode layout with sonar, select the window to change.2Select Menu > Change Sonar.3Select a sonar view.Creating a Waypoint on the Sonar Screen1From a sonar view, select a location.2Select New Wpt.3If necessary, edit the waypoint information.Pausing the Sonar DisplayFrom a sonar view, select .Viewing Sonar HistoryYou can scroll the sonar display to view historical sonar data.1From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu > .2Drag the screen.Sonar SharingThis feature may not be available on all chartplotter models.You can view the sonar data from all compatible sources on the Garmin Marine Network. You can view sonar data from a compatible external sonar module, such as a GCV™ sonar module. In addition, you can view the sonar data from other chartplotters that have a built-in sonar module.Each chartplotter on the network can display sonar data from every compatible sonar module and transducer on the network, no matter where the chartplotters and transducers are mounted on your boat. For example, from a transducer with DownVü mounted at the back of the boat, you can view the sonar data using the GPSMAP 7407xsv mounted at the front of your boat.Chartplotters can display only compatible types of sonar. For example, GPSMAP 547 models can display traditional and DownVü data, but not SideVü data.When sharing sonar data, the values of some sonar settings, such as Range and Gain, are synchronized across the devices on the network. The values of other sonar settings, such as the Sonar 15CONFIDENTIAL

Appearance settings, are not synchronized and should be configured on each individual device. In addition, the scroll rates of the various traditional and DownVü sonar views are synchronized to make the split views more cohesive.NOTE: Using multiple transducers simultaneously can create cross talk, which can be removed by adjusting the Interference sonar setting.Selecting a Sonar SourceThis feature may not be available with all models.When you are using more than one sonar data source for a particular sonar view, you can select the source to use for that sonar view. For example, if you have two sources for DownVü, you can select the source to use from the DownVü sonar view.1Open the sonar view for which you will change the source.2Select Menu > Sonar Menu > Sonar Setup > Source.3Select the source for this sonar view.Renaming a Sonar SourceYou can rename a sonar source to easily identify that source. For example, you use "Bow" as the name of the transducer on the bow of your boat.The source is renamed for the present view only. For example, to rename the DownVü sonar source, you must open the DownVü sonar view.1From the sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu > Sonar Setup > Source > Rename Sources.2Enter the name.Adjusting the Level of DetailYou can control the level of detail and noise shown on the sonar screen either by adjusting the gain for traditional transducers, or by adjusting the brightness for DownVü and SideVü/DownVü transducers.If you want to see the highest intensity signal returns on the screen, you can lower the gain or brightness to remove lower intensity returns and noise. If you want to see all return information, you can increase the gain or brightness to see more information on the screen. This also increases noise, and can make it more difficult to recognize actual returns.1From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu.2Select Gain or Brightness.3Select an option:• To increase or decrease the gain or brightness manually, select Up or Down.• To allow the chartplotter to adjust the gain or brightness automatically, select an automatic option.Adjusting the Color IntensityYou can adjust the intensity of colors and highlight areas of interest on the sonar screen by adjusting the color gain for traditional transducers or the contrast for DownVü and SideVü/DownVü transducers. This setting works best after you have adjusted the level of detail shown on the screen using the gain or brightness settings.If you want to highlight smaller fish targets or create a higher intensity display of a target, you can increase the color gain or contrast setting. This causes a loss in the differentiation of the high intensity returns at the bottom. If you want to reduce the intensity of the return, you can reduce the color gain or contrast.1From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu.2Select an option:• While in the DownVü or SideVü sonar view, select Contrast.• While in another sonar view, select Sonar Setup > Advanced > Color Gain.3Select an option:• To increase or decrease the color intensity manually, select Up or Down.• To use the default setting, select Default.Adjusting the Range of the Depth or Width ScaleYou can adjust the range of the depth scale traditional and DownVü sonar views and the range of the width scale for the SideVü sonar view.Allowing the device to adjust the range automatically keeps the bottom within the lower or outer third of the sonar screen, and can be useful for tracking a bottom that has minimal or moderate terrain changes.Manually adjusting the range enables you to view a specified range, which can be useful for tracking a bottom that has large terrain changes, such as a drop-offs or cliffs. The bottom can appear on the screen as long as it appears within the range you have set.1From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu > Range.2Select an option:• To allow the chartplotter to adjust the range automatically, select Auto.• To increase or decrease the range manually, select Up or Down.TIP: From the sonar screen, you can select or to manually adjust the range.TIP: When viewing multiple sonar screens, you can select Select to choose the active screen.Setting the Zoom Level on the Sonar Screen1From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu > Zoom.2Select an option:• To zoom in on the sonar data from the bottom depth, select Bottom Lock.• To set the depth range of the magnified area manually, select Set Zoom, select View Up or View Down to set the depth range of the magnified area, and select Zoom In or Zoom Out to increase or decrease the magnification of the magnified area.• To set the depth and zoom automatically, select Set Zoom > Auto.• To cancel the zoom, select No Zoom.Setting the Scroll SpeedYou can set the rate at which the sonar image moves across the screen. A higher scroll speed shows more detail, especially 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.1From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu > Sonar Setup > Scroll Speed.2Select an option:• To adjust the scroll speed automatically using speed-over-ground 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. When viewing DownVü or SideVü sonar views, it is recommend to use the Auto setting.• To use a very fast scroll speed, select Ultrascroll®.The Ultrascroll option quickly scrolls new sonar data, but with a reduced image quality. For most situations, the Fast 16 SonarCONFIDENTIAL

option provides a good balance between a quickly scrolling image and targets that are less distorted.Sonar FrequenciesNOTE: The frequencies available depend on the chartplotter, sounder modules, and transducer being used.Adjusting the frequency helps adapt the sonar for your particular goals and the present depth of the water.Higher frequencies use narrow beam widths, and are better for high-speed operation and rough sea conditions. Bottom definition and thermocline definition can be better when using a higher frequency.Lower frequencies use wider beam widths, which can let the fisherman see more targets, but could also generate more surface noise and reduce bottom signal continuity during rough sea conditions. Wider beam widths generate larger arches for fish target returns, making them ideal for locating fish. Wider beam widths also perform better in deep water, because the lower frequency has better deep water penetration.Chirp frequencies allow you to sweep each pulse through a range of frequencies, resulting in better target separation in deep water. Chirp can be used to distinctly identify targets, like individual fish in a school, and for deep water applications. Chirp generally performs better than single frequency applications. Because some fish targets may show up better using a fixed frequency, you should consider your goals and water conditions when using Chirp.Some sonar black boxes and transducers also provide the ability to customize preset frequencies for each transducer element, which enables you to change the frequency quickly using the presets as the water and your goals change.Viewing two frequencies concurrently using the split-frequency view allows you to see deeper with the lower frequency return and, at the same time, see more detail from the higher frequency return.Selecting FrequenciesNOTE: You cannot adjust the frequency for all sonar views and transducers.You can indicate which frequencies appear on the sonar screen.1From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu > Frequency.2Select a frequency suited to your needs and water depth.For more information on frequencies, see Sonar Frequencies.Creating a Frequency PresetNOTE: Not available with all transducers.You can create a preset to save a specific sonar frequency, which allows you to change frequencies quickly.1From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu > Frequency.2Select Manage Frequencies > New Preset.3Enter a frequency.Turning On the A-ScopeNOTE: This feature is not available in all sonar views.The a-scope is a vertical flasher along the right side of the full-screen sonar view. This feature expands the most recently received sonar data so that it is easier to see. It can also be helpful for detecting fish that are close to the bottom.From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu > Sonar Setup > Appearance > A-Scope > On.Selecting the Transducer TypeBefore 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.1From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Installation > Transducer Type.2Select an option:• If you have a 200/77 kHz, dual-beam transducer, select Dual Beam (200/77 kHz).• If you have a 200/50 kHz, dual-frequency transducer, select Dual Frequency (200/50 kHz).• If you have another type of transducer, select it from the list.Sonar SetupNOTE: Not all options and settings apply to all models and transducers.Sonar SettingsFrom a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu > Sonar Setup.Scroll Speed: Sets the rate at which the sonar scrolls from right to left (Setting the Scroll Speed).In shallow water, you can select a slower scroll speed to extend the length of time the information is displayed on screen. In deeper water, you can select a faster scroll speed. Automatic scroll speed adjusts the scrolling speed to the speed the boat is traveling.Noise Reject: Reduces the interference and the amount of clutter shown on the sonar screen (Sonar Noise Rejection Settings).Appearance: Configures the appearance of the sonar screen (Sonar Appearance Settings).Alarms: Sets sonar alarms (Sonar Alarm Settings).Advanced: Configures various sonar display and data source settings (Advanced Sonar Settings).Installation: Configures the transducer (Transducer Installation Settings).Sonar Noise Rejection SettingsFrom a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu > Sonar Setup > Noise Reject.Interference: Adjusts the sensitivity to reduce the effects of interference from nearby sources of noise.The lowest interference setting that achieves the desired improvement should be used to remove interference from the screen. Correcting installation issues that cause noise is the best way to eliminate interference.Color Limit: Hides part of the color palette to help eliminate fields of weak clutter.By setting the color limit to the color of the undesired returns, you can eliminate the display of undesired returns on the screen.Smoothing: Removes noise that is not part of a normal sonar return, and adjusts the appearance of returns, such as the bottom.When smoothing is set to high, more of the low-level noise remains than when using the interference control, but the noise is more subdued because of averaging. Smoothing can remove speckle from the bottom. Smoothing and interference work well together to eliminate low-level noise. You can adjust the interference and smoothing settings incrementally to remove undesirable noise from the display.Sonar 17CONFIDENTIAL

Surface Noise: Hides surface noise to help reduce clutter. Wider beam widths (lower frequencies) can show more targets, but can generate more surface noise.TVG: Adjusts the time varying gain, which can reduce noise.This control is best used for situations when you want to control and suppress clutter or noise near the water surface. It also allows for the display of targets near the surface that are otherwise hidden or masked by surface noise.Sonar Appearance SettingsNOTE: Not all options and settings apply to all models and transducers.From a Sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu > Sonar Setup > Appearance.Color: Sets the color scheme and color gain.Overlay Data: Sets the data shown on the sonar screen.A-Scope: Displays a vertical flasher along the right side of the screen that shows instantaneously the range to targets along a scale.Depth Line: Shows a quick-reference depth line.Edge: Highlights the strongest signal from the bottom to help define the hardness or softness of the signal.Pic. Advance: Allows the sonar picture to advance faster by drawing more than one column of data on the screen for each column of sounder data received. This is especially helpful when you are using the sounder in deep water, because the sonar signal takes longer to travel to the water bottom and back to the transducer.The 1/1 setting draws one column of information on the screen per sounder return. The 2/1 setting draws two columns of information on the screen per sounder return, and so on for the 4/1 and 8/1 settings.Sonar Alarm SettingsNOTE: Some settings require external accessories.Select Settings > Alarms > Sonar.Shallow Water: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth is less than the specified value.Deep Water: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth is greater than the specified value.Water Temp.: Sets an alarm to sound when the transducer reports a temperature that is 2°F (1.1°C) above or below the specified temperature.Contour: Sets an alarm to sound when the transducer detects a suspended target within the specified depth from the surface of the water and from the bottom.Fish Alarm: Sets an alarm to sound when the transducer detects a suspended target within the specified depth range and the specified color range.Advanced Sonar SettingsFrom a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu > Sonar Setup > Advanced.Transmit: Stops the transducer from transmitting.Shift: Allows you to set the depth range on which the sonar is focused. This allows you to zoom in a higher resolution in the focused depth.When using shift, bottom tracking may not work effectively, because the sonar looks for data within the depth range of the focused area, which may not include the bottom. Using shift also can impact the scroll speed, because data outside the depth range of the focused area is not processed, which reduces the time required to receive and display the data. You can zoom in to the focused area, which enables you to evaluate target returns more closely at a higher resolution than just zooming alone.Echo Stretch: Adjusts the size of the echoes on the screen to make it easier to see separate returns on the screen.When targets are difficult to see, echo stretch makes the target returns more pronounced and easier to see on the screen. If the echo stretch value is too high, the targets blend together, and if the value is too low, the targets might be small and difficult to see.You can use echo stretch and filter width together to obtain the preferable resolution and noise reduction. With echo stretch and filter width set to low, the display has the highest resolution, but is the most susceptible to noise. With echo stretch set to high and filter width set to low, the display has a lower resolution, but has wider targets. With echo stretch and filter width set to high, the display has the lowest resolution, but is the least susceptible to noise. It is not recommended to set echo stretch to low and filter width to high.Bottom Track: Sets the frequency used for determining depth.The bottom tracking control allows you to select the specific channel that is used to track the bottom. For example, you can set the bottom tracking for the low frequency for deep water operation.Temp. Source: Sets the channel for the water temperature log when more than one water-temperature sensor or temperature-capable transducer is connected.Transducer Installation SettingsFrom a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Menu > Sonar Setup > Installation.Transmit Rate: Sets the length of time between sonar pings. Increasing the transmit rate increases the scroll speed, but it may also increase self-interference.Reducing the transmit rate increases the spacing between transmit pulses and can resolve self-interference.Transmit Power: Reduces transducer ringing near the surface. A lower transmit power value reduces transducer ringing.Filter Width: Defines the edges of the target. A shorter filter defines the edges of the targets, but may allow more noise. A longer filter creates softer target edges, and may also reduce noise.Transducer Diagnostics: Shows details about the transducer.Flip Left/Right: Changes the SideVü view orientation from left to right.Sonar RecordingsRecording the Sonar DisplayNOTE: Not all models support sonar recording.1Insert a memory card into the card slot.2From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Sonar Recording > Record Sonar.15 minutes of sonar recording uses approximately 200 MB of space of the inserted memory card.

Before beginning radar transmission, verify that the area around the radar is clear. The radar transmits a beam approximately 12° above and below a line extending horizontally from the center of the radar.When the radar is transmitting, do not look directly at the antenna at close range; eyes are the most sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic energy.NOTE: Not all models support radar.When you connect your compatible chartplotter to an optional Garmin marine radar, such as a GMR™ 1226 xHD2 or a GMR 24 HD, you can view more information about your surroundings.The GMR transmits a narrow beam of microwave energy as it rotates to a 360° pattern. When the transmitted energy contacts a target, some of that energy is reflected back to the radar.Radar Display ModesNOTE: Not all modes are available with all radar devices and all chartplotters.Select Radar.Cruising Mode: Shows a full-screen image of the gathered radar information.Harbor Mode: Intended for use in inland waters, this mode works best with short-range signals (2 nm or less).Offshore Mode: Intended for use in open waters, this mode works best with long-range signals.Sentry Mode: Allows you to put the radar into timed-transmit mode, in which you can configure a radar transmit and standby cycle to conserve power. You can also enable a guard zone in this mode, which identifies a safe zone around your boat. If you switch from Sentry mode to another mode, the radar switches to full-time transmission and disables all guard zones.Radar Overlay Mode: Shows a full-screen image of the gathered radar information on top of the Navigation chart. The Radar overlay displays data based on the most recently used radar mode.Dual Range Mode: Provides a side-by-side view of both short-range and long-range radar data.Changing the Radar Mode1From a combination screen or SmartMode layout with radar, select Menu > Radar Menu > Change Radar.2Select a radar mode.Transmitting Radar SignalsNOTE: As a safety feature, the radar enters standby mode after it warms up. This gives you an opportunity to verify the area around the radar is clear before beginning radar transmission.1With the chartplotter off, connect your radar as described in the radar installation instructions.2Turn on the chartplotter.The radar warms up and a countdown alerts you when the radar is ready.3Select Radar.4Select a radar mode.A countdown message appears while the radar is starting up.5Select Menu > Transmit Radar.Adjusting the Radar RangeThe 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.• Select to decrease the range.• Select to increase the range.Tips for Selecting a Radar Range• 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 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.Zooming In and Out of the Radar Screen• Pinch two fingers together to zoom out.• Spread two fingers apart to zoom in.• Drag the screen to pan, and then select or to zoom, if necessary.Marking a Waypoint on the Radar Screen1From a Radar screen or the Radar overlay, select a location.2Select Create Waypoint.Sentry ModeSentry mode allows you to put the radar into timed-transmit mode, in which you can configure a radar transmit and standby cycle to conserve power.

To use MARPA, you assign a MARPA tag to a target. The radar system automatically tracks the tagged object and provides you with information about the object, including the range, bearing, speed, GPS heading, nearest approach, and time to nearest approach. MARPA indicates the status of each tagged object (acquiring, lost, tracking, or dangerous), and the chartplotter can sound a collision alarm if the object enters your safe zone.MARPA Targeting SymbolsAcquiring a target. Concentric, dashed green rings radiate from the target while the radar is locking onto it.Target has been acquired. A solid green ring indicates the location of a target that the radar has locked onto. A dashed green line attached to the circle indicates the projected course over ground or the GPS heading of the target.Dangerous target is in range. A red ring flashes from the target while an alarm sounds and a message banner appears. After the alarm has been acknowledged, a solid red dot with a dashed red line attached to it indicates the location and the projected course over ground or the GPS heading of the target. If the safe-zone collision alarm has been set to Off, the target flashes, but the audible alarm does not sound and the alarm banner does not appear.Target has been lost. A solid green ring with an X through it indicates that the radar could not lock onto the target.Closest point of approach and time to closest point of approach to a dangerous target.Assigning a MARPA Tag to an ObjectBefore you can use MARPA, you must have a heading sensor connected and an active GPS signal. The heading sensor must provide the NMEA 2000 parameter group number (PGN) 127250 or the NMEA 0183 HDM or HDG output sentence.1From the Harbor, Offshore, or Cruising Radar screen, select an object or location.2Select Acquire Target > MARPA Target.Viewing Information about a MARPA-tagged ObjectYou can view the range, bearing, speed, and other information about a MARPA-tagged object.1From a radar screen, select a targeted object.2Select MARPA Target.Removing a MARPA Tag from a Targeted Object1From the Radar screen, select a MARPA target.2Select MARPA Target > Remove.Viewing a List of AIS and MARPA ThreatsFrom any Radar screen or the Radar overlay, you can view and customize the appearance of a list of AIS and MARPA threats.1From a Radar screen, select Menu > Radar Menu > Other Vessels > List > Show.2Select the type of threats to include in the list.Showing AIS Vessels on the Radar ScreenAIS 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.

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 AlignmentWhen 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.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.Showing the Radar OverlayThe radar overlay displays data based on the most recently used radar mode.Select Charts > Radar Overlay.The radar picture appears in orange and overlays the navigation chart.Setting a Custom Park PositionIf you have more than one radar on your boat, you must be viewing the radar screen for the radar you want to adjust.By default, the antenna is stopped perpendicular to the pedestal when it is not spinning.

If the device has moved a large distance since the last time it has acquired satellites or has been turned off for longer than a few weeks or months, the device may not be able to acquire the satellites correctly.• Ensure the device is using the latest software. If not, update the device software (Updating the Device Software).• If the device is using an internal GPS antenna, make sure the device has a clear view of the sky so that the internal antenna can receive the GPS signal. If it is mounted inside of a cabin, it should be close to a window so it can receive the GPS signal. If the device is mounted inside a cabin and cannot be placed in a location where the device can acquire satellites, use an external GPS antenna.• If the device is using an external GPS antenna, make sure the antenna is connected to the chartplotter or the NMEA network.• If the device has more than one GPS antenna source, select a different source (Selecting the GPS Source).My device will not turn on or keeps turning offDevices erratically turning off or not turning on could indicate an issue with the power supplied to the device. Check these items to attempt to troubleshoot the cause of the power issue.• Make sure the power source is generating power.You can check this several ways. For example, you can check whether other devices powered by the source are functioning.• Check the fuse in the power cable.The fuse should be located in a holder that is part of the red wire of the power cable. A 3 Amp fuse is used in this power cable. Check the fuse to make sure there is still a connection inside of the fuse. You can test the fuse using a multimeter. If the fuse is good, the multimeter reads 0 ohms.• Check to make sure the device is receiving is at least 10 volts, but 12 volts is recommended.To check the voltage, measure the female sockets 8 (power) and 2 (ground) of the power cable for DC voltage. If the voltage is less than 10 volts, the device will not turn on.• If the device is receiving enough power but does not turn on, contact Garmin product support at www.garmin.com/support.Appendix 39CONFIDENTIAL$
