Getting Started Initializing Main Pagethe Sequence Receiver Initializing the Receiver The first time you power up your new GPSMAP 3006C/3010C MFD and GPS 17 receiver, the receiver must be given an opportunity to collect satellite data and establish its present position. To ensure proper initialization, the GPS 17 is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate mode, which allows the receiver to “find itself” anywhere in the world. The MFD usually provides a position fix within a few minutes.
When viewing the GPS Info, a signal strength bar for each satellite in view appears on the right of the page, with the appropriate satellite number under each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages: • No signal strength bars— the receiver is looking for the satellites indicated. • Hollow signal strength bars— the receiver has found the indicated satellite(s) and is collecting data.
Getting Started MainMain PagePages Sequence Main Pages Main Pages are the primary screens which contain navigation and other helpful information to assist you. There are three factory default pages: the Map Page, Compass Page, and Highway Page. One optional page, the Video Page, appears if you are inputting a video signal (see page 35). When the unit is powered on, the first Main (Primary) Page displayed is the Map Page.
Getting Started Configuring Main Pages Each of the Main Pages may be customized to fit your navigational needs. You may modify digital data fields and add additional secondary Functions to each of the Main (Primary) Pages. Factory default and some optional hardware Main Pages may be added as additional Function windows or “Functions” to any of the Main Pages. As you add optional hardware to the MFD or Garmin Marine Network, additional Function choices may appear automatically.

A yellow box highlights around the “active” Function. Each time you press the FCTN key, the highlight moves in a clockwise motion (when three or more Functions are displayed).
Getting Started Main Creating PageWaypoints Sequence Creating Waypoints Through this exercise you will create a new waypoint, name the waypoint, and assign a symbol to the waypoint. You will find the term “Waypoint” is used frequently when talking about navigation. A “Waypoint” is a position stored in the MFD’s memory that can be used for navigation. Waypoints are used for direct navigation or you can use several waypoints to build a route. Creating, or “Marking” a waypoint in the MFD is really very easy.
3. For example if you wished to enter “PRACTICE 1” as a waypoint name. Press the DATA ENTRY key labeled “P, Q, R, S, 7” one time to enter the letter “P”. (If you are entering a letter/number from the same key, pause briefly and the unit moves to the next placeholder automatically. Otherwise, press the next letter/number from a different key.) Getting Started Main Creating PageWaypoints Sequence 4. Press the same key three times to set the letter “R”. Continue entering the name until “PRACTICE” is spelled.
Getting Started Main Basic Page Navigation Sequence Navigating to a Waypoint GPS is all about marking positions as waypoints and navigating to them using the receiver’s steering guidance and map displays. We’ve already seen how to use the ENTER/MARK key to store our present position, so it’s time to move on to the fun part—going to a destination. The NAV/MOB key is the primary tool used to select a destination Waypoint, TracBack (pg. 45), or a Route (pg. 49) to navigate.
Using the Compass Page Located on the Compass Page are the Bearing Pointer, and a Compass Ring. For a GPS to navigate properly, it has to be moving. When you are moving, the orange Bearing Pointer points toward your destination, while the Compass Ring reflects the direction that you are traveling with a red vertical line at the top of the Compass Ring.

(If you are using optional Garmin Sonar hardware, the Depth and Water Temp fields fill in automatically.
Creating Waypoints Graphically Waypoints may also be quickly created with the Map Page cursor, which allows you to point to any map position or map feature to create a new waypoint. When you move the cursor over a map item, you see a highlighted description of that item. The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C uses the map item text shown on the cartography as the default name and symbol for the new waypoint. To create a new waypoint on an open map location: 1.
Getting Reference Started Main Creating PageWaypoints Sequence Additional Options For Creating Waypoints Waypoints may also be created by manually entering position coordinates through the Points tab of the Main Menu. This method can be useful for creating a waypoint at a specific latitude/longitude position from a chart or other source. Entering coordinates into the MFD while it is set to a datum different from in which the coordinates were created may result in an incorrect waypoint location.
Getting Reference Started Reviewing and Editing Waypoints Once you have created and stored a waypoint, it may be modified, reviewed, renamed, moved (projected), or deleted at any time through the waypoint “Review” page. This page display details about the waypoint and a Map window that may be panned or scaled.
