Owner's Manual

GPRMB, GPRMC, GPRTE, GPVTG, GPWPL, GPXTE, and
Garmin proprietary sentences PGRME, PGRMM, and PGRMZ.
This chartplotter also includes support for the WPL sentence,
DSC, and sonar NMEA 0183 input with support for the DPT
(depth) or DBT, MTW (water temperature), and VHW (water
temperature, speed, and heading) sentences.
NMEA 0183 Settings
Select Settings > Communications > NMEA 0183 Setup.
Sounder: Enables NMEA 0183 output sentences for the
sounder (if applicable).
Route: Enables NMEA 0183 output sentences for routes.
System: Enables NMEA 0183 output sentences for system
information.
Garmin: Enables NMEA 0183 output sentences for Garmin
proprietary sentences.
Posn Precision: Adjusts the number of digits to the right of the
decimal point for transmission of NMEA output.
XTE Precision: Adjusts the number of digits to the right of the
decimal point for NMEA crosstalk error output.
Waypoint IDs: Sets the device to transmit waypoint names or
numbers via NMEA 0183 while navigating. Using numbers
may resolve compatibility issues with older NMEA 0183
autopilots.
Diagnostics: Displays NMEA 0183 diagnostic information.
Defaults: Restores the NMEA 0183 settings to the original
factory defaults.
NMEA 2000 Settings
Select Settings > Communications > NMEA 2000 Setup.
Device List: Displays the devices connected to the network and
allows you to set options for some transducers connected
using the NMEA 2000 network.
Label Devices: Changes the labels for available connected
devices.
Naming Devices and Sensors on the Network
You can name devices and sensors connected to the Garmin
Marine Network and the NMEA 2000 network.
1
Select Settings > Communications.
2
Select Marine Network or NMEA 2000 Setup > Device List.

Wi‑Fi Network
Setting Up the Wi ‑ Fi Wireless Network
The chartplotters can create a Wi‑Fi network to which you can
connect wireless devices. The first time you access the wireless
network settings, you are prompted to set up the network.
1
Select Settings > Communications > Wireless Devices >
Wi-Fi Network > Wi-Fi > On > OK.
2
If necessary, enter a name for this wireless network.
3
Enter a password.
You will need this password to access the wireless network
from a wireless device. The password is case-sensitive.
Connecting a Wireless Device to the Chartplotter
Before you can connect a wireless device to the chartplotter
wireless network, you must configure the chartplotter wireless
network (Setting Up the Wi ‑ Fi Wireless Network, page 40).
You can connect multiple wireless devices to the chartplotter to
share data.
1
From the wireless device, turn on the Wi‑Fi technology and
search for wireless networks.
2
Select the name of your chartplotter wireless network (Setting
Up the Wi ‑ Fi Wireless Network, page 40).
3
Enter the chartplotter password.
Changing the Wireless Channel
You can change the wireless channel if you have trouble finding
or connecting to a device, or if you experience interference.
1
Select Settings > Communications > Wireless Devices >
Wi-Fi Network > Advanced > Channel.
2
Enter a new channel.
You do not need to change the wireless channel of devices
connected to this network.
Setting Alarms
CAUTION
The Beeper setting must be turned on to make alarms audible
(System Settings, page 37). Failure to set audible alarms could
lead to injury or property damage.
Navigation Alarms
Select Settings > Alarms > Navigation.
Arrival: Sets an alarm to sound when you are within a specified
distance or time from a turn or a destination.
Anchor Drag: Sets an alarm to sound when you exceed a
specified drift distance while anchored.
Off Course: Sets an alarm to sound when you are off course by
a specified distance.
System Alarms
Alarm Clock: Sets an alarm clock.
Device Voltage: Sets an alarm to sound when the battery
reaches a specified low voltage.
GPS Accuracy: Sets an alarm to sound when the GPS location
accuracy falls outside the user-defined value.
Setting the Fuel Alarm
Before you can set a fuel level alarm, a compatible fuel flow
sensor must be connected to the chartplotter.
You can set an alarm to sound when the total amount of
remaining onboard fuel reaches the level you specify.
1
Select Settings > Alarms > Fuel > Fuel Alarm > On.
2
Enter the remaining amount of fuel that triggers the alarm,
and select Done.
Units Settings
Select Settings > Units.
System Units: Sets the unit format for the device.
Variance: Sets the magnetic declination, the angle between
magnetic north and true north, for your present location.
North Reference: Sets the direction references used in
calculating heading information. True sets geographic north
as the north reference. Grid sets grid north as the north
reference (000º). Magnetic sets the magnetic north as the
north reference.
Position Format: Sets the position format in which a given
location reading appears. Do not change this setting unless
you are using a map or chart that specifies a different
position format.
Map Datum: Sets the coordinate system on which the map is
structured. Do not change this setting unless you are using a
map or chart that specifies a different map datum.
Pressure Reference Time: Sets the reference time used to
calculate the barometer trend. The trend is indicated in the
barometer field.
Time Format: Sets a 12-hour, 24-hour, or UTC time format.
