Use the fishing chart to view detailed bottom contours and depth
soundings on the chart. There are no navigation aids such as buoys
and lights on the fishing chart.
The fishing chart uses highly detailed bathymetric data, and is best
for offshore deep-sea fishing.
Note: The Fishing chart is available if you use a BlueChart
g2 Vision SD card or a BlueChart g2 SD card, or if your built-in
map supports Fishing charts.

Using Fish Eye 3D

Using the depth contour lines of the BlueChart g2 Vision
cartography, Fish Eye 3D provides an underwater view of the sea
floor or lake bottom. The and buttons adjust the view in the
same way as the Mariner’s Eye 3D.

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

the time that has elapsed since the last position of the vessel
was reported, the nearest approach, and the time to the nearest
approach.

information, or if the vessel is not moving, a projected course line
does not appear. Changes in the speed, the course over ground, or
the 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 rateof-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.

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.
• Safe Depth—set the minimum depth (using chart depth data)
allowed when calculating an auto-guidance path. A safe depth of
less than one meter is not allowed when using Auto Guidance.

Setting the Distance from Shore

The available values for the Shoreline Distance setting (Nearest,
Near, Normal, Far, or Farthest) are relative, not absolute. To place
the Auto Guidance line 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

Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Near.
8. If you selected Near or Far in step 7, review the placement
of the Auto Guidance line. Determine whether the line safely
avoids known obstacles, and whether 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 in step 3
requires navigation through a narrow waterway.

About GPS Satellite Signals

Your GPSMAP 620 or GPSMAP 640 must acquire GPS satellite
signals in order to navigate. If you are indoors, near tall buildings
or trees, or in a parking garage, your device may not acquire
satellites. Go outside to an area free from tall obstructions to use
your device.
When your GPSMAP 620 or GPSMAP 640 has acquired satellite
signals, the signal strength bars on the Home screen (or Menu
page) are green. When it loses satellite signals, the bars turn red or
clear.
For more information about GPS, go to www.garmin.com
/aboutGPS.

Troubleshooting
Problem/Question

Solution/Answer

My device never gets
satellite signals.

Take your GPSMAP 620 or GPSMAP 640 out
of parking garages and away from tall buildings
and trees. Remain stationary for several
minutes.

My GPSMAP 620 or
GPSMAP 640 does
not charge in my
vehicle.

Check the fuse in the vehicle power cable
(page 69).
Ensure the vehicle is turned on and is supplying
power to the power outlet.
Your device can only charge between 32°F and
113°F (between 0°C and 45°C). If the device is
placed in direct sunlight or in a hot environment,
it cannot charge.

How do I clear all my
user data?

Hold your finger on the lower‑right corner of the
GPSMAP 620 or GPSMAP 640 screen while it
is turning on. Keep your finger pressed until the
message appears. Touch Yes to clear all user
data.

My battery gauge
does not seem
accurate.

Allow the device to fully discharge, and fully
charge it (without interrupting the charge cycle).

The touchscreen is
not responding to my
touches.

Calibrate the touchscreen as described on
page 38.

Messages and Alarms (Marine Mode)

Problem/Question

Solution/Answer

How do I know my
GPSMAP 620 or
GPSMAP 640 is in
USB mass storage
mode?

When your device is in USB mass storage
mode, a picture of a GPSMAP 620 or
GPSMAP 640 connected to a computer
is shown. Also, you should see two new
removable disk drives listed in My Computer.

Boat is not Moving Fast Enough to Calibrate—(speed sensor)
appears during water speed calibration. Check the speed wheel for
blockage and calibrate again. If the wheel is clear, calibrate again
and increase speed.

My computer
never detects the
GPSMAP 620 or
GPSMAP 640 when I
connect it.

1. Unplug the USB cable from your computer.
2. Turn off the GPSMAP 620 or GPSMAP 640.
3. Plug the USB cable into a USB port on
your computer and into your device.
The GPSMAP 620 or GPSMAP 640
automatically turns on and goes into
USB mass storage mode. Ensure your
GPSMAP 640 is connected to a USB port
and not a USB hub.

Can’t Read User Card—cannot read card when attempting a user
data transfer.

I cannot see any new
removable drives in
my list of drives.

How can I find
restaurants near the
hotel I will be staying
at in the future?

If you have several network drives mapped
on your computer, Windows can have trouble
assigning drive letters to your GPSMAP 620
or GPSMAP 640 drives. See your operating
system Help file to learn how to map or assign
drive letters.
1. Touch Where To? > Near > A Different
City.
2. Find the hotel, and touch Go!.
3. Touch Menu > Where To? > Near > My
Destination.
4. Search for a restaurant. Restaurants
nearest your hotel are listed first.
