Automatic Identification System
The 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.
Symbol Description
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
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 barb at the end of the heading
line. The length of the barb does not change.
AIS Targeting Symbols
Symbol Description
AIS 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.
Target 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.
Charts and 3D Chart Views
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 Vessels on a Chart or 3D Chart View
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

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 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.

purchased an unsupported map, return it to the seller.
Garmin Quickdraw Contours Mapping
WARNING
The Garmin Quickdraw Contours mapping feature allows users
to generate maps. Garmin makes no representations about the
accuracy, reliability, completeness or timeliness of the maps
generated by third parties. Any use or reliance on the maps
generated by third parties is at your own risk.
The Garmin Quickdraw Contours mapping feature allows you to
instantly create maps with contours and depth labels for any
body of water.
When Garmin Quickdraw Contours records data, a colored
circle surrounds the vessel icon. This circle represents the
approximate area of the map that is scanned by each pass.
Laylines Settings
To use the laylines features, you must connect a wind sensor to
the chartplotter.
When in sailing mode (Setting the Vessel Type, page 3), you
can display laylines on the navigation chart. Laylines can be
very helpful when racing.
From the navigation chart, select MENU > Laylines.
Display: Sets how the laylines and vessel appear on the chart,
and sets the length of the laylines.
Sailing Ang.: Allows you to select how the device calculates
laylines. The Actual option calculates the laylines using the
measured wind angle from the wind sensor. The Manual
option calculates the laylines using manually entered
windward and leeward angles.
Windward Angle: Allows you to set a layline based on the
windward sailing angle.
10
A green circle indicates good depth and GPS position, and a
speed under 16 km/h (10 mph). A yellow circle indicates good
depth and GPS position, and a speed between 16 and 32 km/h
(10 and 20 mph). A red circle indicates poor depth or GPS
position, and a speed above 32 km/h (20 mph).
You can view Garmin Quickdraw Contours in a combination
screen or as a single view on the map.
The amount of saved data depends on the size of your memory
card, your sonar source, and the speed of your boat as you
record data. You can record longer when you use a single-beam
sonar. It is estimated that you might be able to record about
1,500 hours of data onto a 2 GB memory card.
Garmin Quickdraw Contours Mapping
When you record data on a memory card in your chartplotter,
the new data is added to your existing Garmin Quickdraw
Contours map, and is saved on the memory card. When you
insert a new memory card, the existing data does not transfer
onto the new card.

Navigation with a Chartplotter
CAUTION
If your vessel has an autopilot system, a dedicated autopilot
control display must be installed at each steering helm in order
to disable the autopilot system.
The Auto Guidance feature is based on electronic chart
information. That data does not ensure obstacle and bottom
clearance. Carefully compare the course to all visual sightings,
and avoid any land, shallow water, or other obstacles that may
be in your path.
When using Go To, a direct course and a corrected course may
pass over land or shallow water. Use visual sightings, and steer
to avoid land, shallow water, and other dangerous objects.
NOTE: Some chart views are available with premium charts, in
some areas.
To navigate, you must choose a destination, set a course or
create a route, and follow the course or route. You can follow
the course or the route on the Navigation chart, Fishing chart,
Perspective 3D chart view, or Mariner’s Eye 3D chart view.
You can set and follow a course to a destination using one of
three methods: Go To, Route To, or Auto Guidance.
Go To: Takes you directly to the destination. This is the
standard option for navigating to a destination. The
chartplotter creates a straight-line course or navigation line to
the destination. The path may run over land and other
obstacles.
Route To: Creates a route from your location to a destination,
allowing you to add turns along the way. This option provides
a straight-line course to the destination, but allows you to add
turns into the route to avoid land and other obstacles.
Auto Guidance: Uses the specified information about your
vessel and chart data to determine the best path to your
destination. This option is available only when using a
compatible premium chart in a compatible chartplotter. It
provides a turn-by-turn navigation path to the destination,
avoiding land and other obstacles (Auto Guidance,
page 15).
When you are using a compatible Garmin autopilot
connected to the chartplotter using NMEA 2000 , the
autopilot follows the Auto Guidance route.
NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in
some areas.

Courses
CAUTION
The Auto Guidance feature is based on electronic chart
information. That data does not ensure obstacle and bottom
clearance. Carefully compare the course to all visual sightings,
and avoid any land, shallow water, or other obstacles that may
be in your path.
When using Go To, a direct course and a corrected course may
pass over land or shallow water. Use visual sightings, and steer
to avoid land, shallow water, and other dangerous objects.
NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some
areas.
CAUTION
Garmin recommends using Guide To only under motor power.
Using Guide To while under sail can cause an unexpected gybe,
risking damage to the sailboat. Unattended sails and rigging can
be damaged or cause injury to any crew or passengers during
an unexpected gybe maneuver.
You can set and follow a course to a destination using one of
three methods: Go To, Route To, or Guide To.
Go To: Takes you directly to the destination. This is the
standard option for navigating to a destination. The
chartplotter creates a straight line course or navigation line to
the destination. The path may run over land and other
obstacles.
Route To: Creates a route from your location to a destination,
allowing you to add turns along the way. This option provides
a straight line course to the destination, but allows you to add
turns into the route that avoid land and other obstacles.
Auto Guidance: Creates a path to a destination using Auto
Guidance. This option is available only when using a
compatible premium chart in a compatible chartplotter. It
provides a turn-by-turn navigation line to the destination,
avoiding land and other obstacles. The navigation line is
based on the chart data and the safe depth, safe height, and
shoreline distance user-defined chartplotter settings. Using
these settings and chart data, the chartplotter creates a
navigation line that avoids all areas that cannot be navigated
between the present location and the destination. When you
are using a compatible Garmin autopilot connected to the
chartplotter using NMEA 2000, the autopilot follows the Auto
Guidance route.
Setting and Following a Direct Course Using Go To
CAUTION
When using Go To, a direct course and a corrected course may

Auto Guidance
CAUTION
The Auto Guidance feature is based on electronic chart
information. That data does not ensure obstacle and bottom
clearance. Carefully compare the course to all visual sightings,
and avoid any land, shallow water, or other obstacles that may
be in your path.
NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some
areas.
You can use Auto Guidance to plot the best path to your
destination. Auto Guidance uses your chartplotter to scan chart
data, such as water depth and known obstacles, to calculate a
suggested path. You can adjust the path during navigation.
Setting and Following an Auto Guidance Path
1 Select a destination (Destinations, page 13).
2 Select Navigate To > Auto Guidance.
3 Review the path, indicated by the magenta line.
4 Select Start Navigation.
5 Follow the magenta line, steering to avoid land, shallow

Adjusting the Distance from Shore
The Shoreline Distance setting indicates 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 the Shoreline Distance
setting are relative, not absolute. To ensure 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.
1 Dock your vessel or drop the anchor.
2 Select Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline
Distance > Normal.
3 Select a destination that you have navigated to previously.
4 Select Navigate To > Auto Guidance.
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.
• If the turns in the Auto Guidance line are too wide, select
Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline
Distance > Near.
7 If you selected Near or Far in step 6, review the placement of
the Auto Guidance line, and determine whether the line
safely avoids known obstacles and the turns enable efficient
travel.
Auto Guidance maintains a wide clearance from obstacles in
open water, even if you set the Shoreline Distance setting to
Near or Nearest. As a result, the chartplotter may not
reposition the Auto Guidance line, unless the destination
selected requires navigation through a narrow waterway.
8 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 > Farthest.
• If the turns in the Auto Guidance line are too wide, select
Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline
Distance > Nearest.
9 If you selected Nearest or Farthest in step 8, review the
placement of the Auto Guidance line, and determine
whether the line safely avoids known obstacles and the turns
enable efficient travel.
Auto Guidance maintains a wide clearance from obstacles in
open water, even if you set the Shoreline Distance setting to
Near or Nearest. As a result, the chartplotter may not
16
reposition the Auto Guidance line, unless the destination
selected requires navigation through a narrow waterway.
10 Repeat steps 3 through 9 at least once more, using a
different destination each time, until you are familiar with the
functionality of the Shoreline Distance setting.
Auto Guidance Path Configurations
CAUTION
The Preferred Depth and Vertical Clearance settings influence
how the chartplotter calculates an Auto Guidance path. If an
area has an unknown water depth or an unknown obstacle
height, the Auto Guidance path is not calculated in that area. If
an area at the beginning or the end of an Auto Guidance path is
shallower than the Preferred Depth or lower than the Vertical
Clearance settings, the Auto Guidance path may not be
calculated in that area, depending on the map data. On the
chart, the course through those areas appears as a gray line or
a magenta and gray striped line. When your boat enters one of
those areas, a warning message appears.
NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some
areas.
NOTE: Not all settings apply to all maps.
You can set the parameters the chartplotter uses when
calculating an Auto Guidance path.
Preferred Depth: Sets the minimum water depth, based on
chart depth data, that your boat can safely travel over.
NOTE: The minimum water depth for the premium charts
(made before 2016) is 3 feet. If you enter a value of less than
3 feet, the charts only use depths of 3 feet for Auto Guidance
path calculations.
Vertical Clearance: Sets the minimum height of a bridge or
obstacle, based on chart data, that your boat can safely
travel under.
Shoreline Distance: Sets how close to the shore you want the
Auto Guidance path to be placed. The Auto Guidance path
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 path using one or more familiar destinations
that require navigation through a narrow waterway (Adjusting
the Distance from Shore, page 16).

Split-Frequency Sonar View
In 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.
Split-Zoom Sonar View
Sonar Fishfinder
When properly connected to a compatible transducer, your
ECHOMAP Plus device can be used as a fishfinder.
For more information about which transducer is best for your
needs, go to garmin.com/transducers.
Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area. The
sonar views available vary depending on the type of transducer
and sounder module connected to the chartplotter. For example,
you can view Garmin ClearVü™ sonar screens only if you have a
compatible Garmin ClearVü transducer connected.
There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a fullscreen 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 separately adjust the
gain for each frequency.
If you do not see an arrangement of sonar views to suit your
needs, you can create a custom combination screen (Creating a
New Combination Page with the ECHOMAP Plus 70/90,
page 2).
The split-zoom sonar view shows a full-view graph of sonar
readings, and a magnified portion of that graph, on the same
screen.
Garmin ClearVü Sonar View
NOTE: To receive Garmin ClearVü scanning sonar, you need a
compatible chartplotter or fishfinder and a compatible
transducer. For information about compatible transducers, go to
garmin.com/transducers.
Garmin ClearVü high-frequency sonar provides a detailed
picture of the fishing environment around the boat in a detailed
representation of structures the boat is passing over.
Traditional transducers emit a conical beam. The Garmin
ClearVü scanning sonar technology emits two narrow beams,
similar to the shape of the beam in a copying machine. These
beams provide a clearer, picture-like image of what is beneath
the boat.

• If you have another type of transducer, select it from the
list.
20
This feature may not be available on all chartplotter models.
You can view the sonar data from other chartplotters with a builtin sonar module connected on the Garmin Marine Network.
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 Garmin
ClearVü mounted at the back of the boat, you can view the
sonar data using the 93sv mounted at the front of your boat.
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
Appearance settings, are not synchronized and should be
configured on each individual device. In addition, the scroll rates
of the various traditional and Garmin ClearVü 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 Source
This 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 Garmin
ClearVü, you can select the source to use from the Garmin
ClearVü sonar view.

1 Open the sonar view for which you will change the source.
2 Select MENU > Sonar Setup > Source.
3 Select the source for this sonar view.
Renaming a Sonar Source
You 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 Garmin ClearVü sonar source, you must open the
Garmin ClearVü sonar view.
1 From the sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup > Source
> Rename Sonar Sources.
2 Enter the name.
Adjusting the Level of Detail
You 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 Garmin ClearVü 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.
1 From a sonar view, select MENU.
2 Select Gain or Brightness.
3 Select 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 Intensity
You 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 Garmin ClearVü and
SideVü/ClearVü 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.

1 From a sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup > Scroll
Speed.
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. When viewing
Garmin ClearVü 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
option provides a good balance between a quickly
scrolling image and targets that are less distorted.
Adjusting the Range of the Depth or Width Scale
You can adjust the range of the depth scale traditional and
Garmin ClearVü 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.

Appearance.
Color Scheme: Sets the color scheme.
Edge: Highlights the strongest signal from the bottom to help
define the hardness or softness of the signal.
A-Scope: Displays a vertical flasher along the right side of the
screen that shows instantaneously the range to targets along
a scale.
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,
22
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.
Fish Symbols: Sets how the sonar interprets suspended
targets.
Sonar Alarms
NOTE: Not all options are available on all transducers.
From an applicable sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup >
Alarms.
You can also open the sonar alarms by selecting Settings >
Alarms > Sonar.

than the specified value.
Deep Water: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth is greater
than the specified value.
FrontVü Alarm: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth in front
of the vessel is less than the specified value, which can help
you avoid running aground (Setting the FrontVü Depth Alarm,
page 24). This alarm is available only with Panoptix FrontVü
transducers.
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.

Advanced Sonar Settings
NOTE: Not all options and settings apply to all models and
transducers.
From a sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup > Advanced.
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.
Surface Noise: Hides surface noise to help reduce clutter.
Wider beam widths (lower frequencies) can show more
targets, but can generate more surface noise.
Color Gain: See Adjusting the Level of Detail, page 21.
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.
Transducer Installation Settings

Flip Left/Right: Changes the orientation of the SideVü sonar
view when the transducer is installed backward.
Flipped: Sets the orientation of the Panoptix sonar view when
the transducer is installed with the cables pointing toward the
port side of the boat.
Beam Width: Sets the width of the Panoptix transducer beam.
Narrow beam widths allow you to see deeper and farther.
Wider beam widths allow you to see more coverage area.
Use AHRS: Allows the internal attitude heading and reference
system (AHRS) sensors to detect the installation angle of the
Panoptix transducer. When this setting is turned off, it is
assumed the transducer is installed at a 45-degree angle.
1 From a sonar view, select MENU > Frequency.
2 Select Add.
3 Enter a frequency.
Turning On the A-Scope
NOTE: This feature is available in the Traditional sonar views.
The a-scope is a vertical flasher along the right side of the view,
showing you what is underneath the transducer right now. You
can use the a-scope to identify target returns that may be
missed when the sonar data is quickly scrolling across the
screen, such as when your boat is moving at high speeds. It can
also be helpful for detecting fish that are close to the bottom.
Sonar Frequencies
NOTE: 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 frequencies.
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 Frequencies
NOTE: You cannot adjust the frequency for all sonar views and
transducers.
You can indicate which frequencies appear on the sonar screen.
1 From a sonar view, select MENU > Frequency.
2 Select a frequency suited to your needs and water depth.

Gain: Controls the level of detail and noise shown on the sonar
screen.
If you want to see the highest intensity signal returns on the
screen, you can lower the gain to remove lower intensity
returns and noise. If you want to see all return information,
you can increase the gain to see more information on the
screen. This also increases noise, and can make it more
difficult to recognize actual returns.
Depth Range: Adjusts the range of the depth scale.
Allowing the device to adjust the range automatically keeps
the bottom within the lower portion 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
23
bottom can appear on the screen as long as it appears within
the range you have set.
Forward Range: Adjusts the range of the forward scale.
Allowing the device to adjust the range automatically adjusts
the forward scale in relation to the depth. Manually adjusting
the range enables you to view a specified range. The bottom
can appear on the screen as long as it appears within the
range you have set. Manually reducing this option can reduce
the effectiveness of the FrontVü Alarm, reducing your
reaction time to low depth readings.

Autopilot
WARNING
You can use the autopilot feature only at a station installed next
to a helm, throttle, and helm control device.
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your
vessel. The autopilot is a tool that enhances your capability to
operate your boat. It does not relieve you of the responsibility of
safely operating your boat. Avoid navigational hazards and
never leave the helm unattended.
Always be prepared to promptly regain manual control of your
boat.
Learn to operate the autopilot on calm and hazard-free open
water.
Use caution when operating the autopilot near hazards in the
water, such as docks, pilings, and other boats.
NOTE: This feature is only available on models with NMEA
2000 network capabilities.
The autopilot system continuously adjusts the steering of your
boat to maintain a constant heading (heading hold). The system
also allows manual steering and several modes of automaticsteering functions and patterns.
When the compatible chartplotter is connected to a compatible
Garmin autopilot system, you can engage and control the
autopilot from the chartplotter.
For information about compatible Garmin autopilot systems, go
to garmin.com.

2 Select an option.
Sail Racing
You 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 Guidance
Sailing 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.

line or anywhere above the end of the keel, measure the
distance from the transducer location to the keel of the boat.
If you want to know the true water depth and the transducer is
installed below the water line, measure the distance from the
bottom of the transducer up to the water line.
NOTE: This option is only available when you have valid depth
data.

My device will not acquire GPS signals
If the device is not acquiring satellite signals, there could be a
few causes. 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,
page 40).
• Make sure the device has a clear view of the sky so the
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.
My device will not turn on or keeps turning off
Devices 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. Check that the proper size fuse is
installed. Refer to the label on the cable or the installation
instructions for the exact fuse size needed. 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 ohm.
• Check to make sure the device is receiving is at least 10 V,
but 12 V is recommended.
To check the voltage, measure the female power and ground
sockets of the power cable for DC voltage. If the voltage is
less than 10 V, the device will not turn on.
• Make sure the device is firmly secured in the cradle. If the
model uses a locking bracket, make sure the bracket is firmly
snapped close. There is an audible click when the device or
locking bracket is installed correctly. If the device is not firmly
secured, it can lose power. The device can also fall out of the
cradle and become damaged if it is not firmly secured.
• If the device is receiving enough power but does not turn on,
contact Garmin product support at support.garmin.com.
You can manually enter a waypoint location to transfer and
share data from one device to the next. If you have manually
entered a waypoint using coordinates, and the location of the
point does not appear where the point should be, the map
datum and position format of the device may not match the map
datum and position format originally used to mark the waypoint.
Position format is the way in which the GPS receiver's position
appears on the screen. This is commonly displayed as latitude/
longitude in degrees and minutes, with options for degrees,
minutes and second, degrees only, or one of several grid
formats.
Map datum is a math model which depicts a part of the surface
of the earth. Latitude and longitude lines on a paper map are
referenced to a specific map datum.
1 Find out which map datum and position format was used
when the original waypoint was created.
If the original waypoint was taken from a map, there should
be a legend on the map that lists the map datum and position
format used to create that map. Most often this is found near
the map key.
2 Select Settings > Units.
3 Select the correct map datum and position format settings.
4 Create the waypoint again.
My device does not display the correct time
Time is set by GPS position and time zone setting.
