GMI 10 quick start manual
Introduction The GMI 10 allows you to quickly view important information about your boat provided by connected sensors. Connected sensors transmit data to the GMI 10 using NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000. To install your GMI 10, use the included installation instructions. For a list of compatible sensors and for more information about NMEA 2000, visit www.garmin.com. The GMI 10 is NMEA 2000 certified.
Unit Overview Instrument screen Back Power Soft keys Power—press and hold to power the unit on and off. Press and quickly release to adjust display settings (page 12). Soft Keys—used to navigate the menus and select items on the GMI 10. Typically, the left and right soft keys cycle data on the instrument screen and navigate menu screens, and the center soft key selects highlighted items and opens the Menu. Back—used to move back one menu screen.
Using the GMI 10 Use the GMI 10 to view numerical data provided by connected sensors. Many data types can also be displayed as an analog gauge (page 6). The types of data available are determined by the sensors connected to the GMI 10 either through NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183. For example, when connected to a GPS antenna such as a GPS 17x, the GMI 10 can show GPS position, course over ground, speed over ground, average speed, maximum speed obtained, and distance traveled (trip odometer) information.
Custom—create custom instrument screens. Choose the number and type of data fields on each custom screen. You can create and cycle through up to five custom instrument screens. (Page 7) Selecting an Instrument Screen Category Cycling Through Instrument Screens in a Category When viewing a category, use the soft keys under the left and right arrows to cycle through the instrument screens available in that category. Change the instrument screen to a different category from the menu: 1.
Changing Instrument Screen Options Some instrument screens have additional options available. To change the appearance of an instrument screen: From the instrument screen, select Menu > Show Gauge to view a gauge or Menu > Show Number to show a number. To change additional options on an instrument screen: From the instrument screen, select Menu. • To change the source sensor, select Source, and choose sensor you want to use.
Creating a Custom Instrument Screen You can create and cycle through up to five custom instrument screens. To create the first custom instrument screen: 1. From the instrument screen, select Menu> Setup > Set Instrument Type > Custom. 2. Select the number of fields you want to show on the custom instrument screen (1–4). 3. Select the data type you would like to show in each field. For a list of all data types, see pages 14–17.
To add additional custom instrument screens: 1. From the custom instrument screen, select Menu > Add Custom Page. (If you have more than one custom instrument screen, this option will appear as Add/Remove Custom Page.) 2. Select the number of fields you want to show on the custom instrument screen. 3. Select the data type you would like to show in each field. For a list of all data types, see pages 14–17. Note: You can create up to five custom instrument screens and cycle through them (page 5).
Configuring the GMI 10 You can configure various options on the GMI 10. From the instrument screen, select Menu > Setup. System—customize various system options (page 9). Alarms—set alarms to sound for specific occurrences (page 11). Display—change the options for backlight, color mode, and screen sharing (page 12). NMEA 2000 Devices—manage options for connected NMEA 2000 devices (page 13).
• True—sets true north as the heading reference. • User Mag Var—allows you to set the magnetic variation value. Beeper—set when the GMI 10 makes audible sounds. Auto Power—select if the unit powers on with the NMEA 2000 network. Language—select the on-screen language. Operating Mode—set the GMI 10 for normal operation or for a store demonstration. Position—specify how the GMI 10 handles coordinates and maps. location reading appears. • Map Datum—change the coordinate system in which the map is structured.
• DST (Daylight Saving Time)— indicate whether you want daylight saving time Off, On, or Auto. The auto setting turns daylight saving time on or off, depending on the time of year. Speed Sources—select what sensor to use when determining Fuel Economy and Wind speed. GPS Skyview—view GPS satellites. System Information—view unit software information. Factory Defaults—reset the unit to factory defaults.
Low Fuel—set an alarm to sound when the fuel remaining (based on fuel-flow information from a GFS 10) reaches the specified level. Battery Voltage—set an alarm to sound when the battery voltage reaches the specified level. Changing the Display Options Network Sharing—choose to share color mode and backlight settings across the NMEA 2000 network. Note: you can also access the display options menu by pressing and quickly releasing the POWER button from the instrument screen.
Changing NMEA 2000 Device Options You can view information about your NMEA 2000 devices and change available device-specific options on the GMI 10. From the instrument screen, select Menu > Setup > NMEA 2000 Devices. To change NMEA 2000 devicespecific options: While viewing the NMEA 2000 device information, select Config. You will see a list of all connected NMEA 2000 devices. Select a device to see information about the device, such as the software version and the serial number.
Appendix Data Field Options This table lists all available types of data you can show in a custom data field on a custom instrument screen (page 7). When you create a custom page, data types supported by the sensors installed on your NMEA 2000 network appear in black. If you do not have the appropriate sensor for a data type, it appears in red.

Alarms and Messages Battery Voltage—alarm – the battery voltage is at or below the specified value. Boat is not Moving Fast Enough to Calibrate—water speed calibration – the boat is moving too slow to calibrate. Connection with NMEA 2000 device lost—the GMI 10 has lost connection with a NMEA 2000 device. Deep Water—alarm – the boat has entered water deeper than the specified depth. Entering Target Surface Temperature—the water temperature is inside the user-defined target temperature zone.
NMEA 2000 Device Requires Calibration—a NMEA 2000 device requiring calibration has been detected. Shallow Water—alarm – the boat has entered water shallower than the specified depth. Simulating Operation—the unit is in demo mode. Surface Temperature—alarm – the water is approaching the specified temperature. Unable to claim NMEA 2000 Address—there is a conflict between NMEA 2000 devices on the NMEA 2000 network. Water Speed Sensor is not Working—water speed calibration error – recalibrate the speed sensor.
