Using the Garmin Marine Network Using the Garmin Marine Network The Garmin Marine Network allows you to share data from Garmin peripheral devices between Garmin chartplotters quickly and easily. You can connect your GPSMAP 4000 series and GPSMAP 5000 series chartplotters, and previous Garmin Marine Network compatible chartplotter models (GPSMAP 3005/3006/3010), to your network to share data.
Using the Garmin Marine Network Viewing Connected Garmin Marine Network Devices To view all connected Garmin Marine Network devices, from the Home screen, select Configure > System > System Information > Network Devices. Aliases defined No alias defined Network Devices Each connected device is listed along the right side of the screen. To assign an alias or name to one of the devices for identification purposes, select the device.
Using Radar Using Radar When you connect your chartplotter to an optional Garmin marine radar such as a GMR 404/406 or a GMR 18, you can view more information about your surroundings. The Garmin marine radar connects through the Garmin Marine Network and shares radar data with all networked chartplotters. The Garmin marine radar transmits a narrow beam of microwave energy as it rotates in a 360º pattern. When the transmitted energy contacts a target, some of that energy is reflected back to the radar.
Using Radar Understanding the Cruising Screen Use the Cruising screen to view a full-screen image of the gathered radar information. Your position is in the center of the screen, and the rings provide distance measurements. Range rings Zoom scale Heading line Distance between rings The zoom scale represents the distance from your position (the center) to the outermost ring. Each ring represents an even division of the zoom scale.
Using Radar Overlay Numbers—show or hide cruising, navigation, fishing, sailing, or fuel numbers. Radar Setup—access advanced radar settings. Orientation—change the perspective of the radar display. Heading Line—show or hide a line in the direction of travel. Rings—show or hide the radar range rings. Look-Ahd Spd—turn on to shift your current location toward the bottom of the screen as your speed increases. Enter your top speed for the best results. • Timed Xmit—set and customize a transmit/standby cycle.
Using Radar To stop targeting, select Stop Pointing. Create Waypoint—marks a waypoint at the targeted object or location. Acquire Target—assigns a MARPA (Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) tag to the targeted object. Note: MARPA requires the use of a heading sensor. The heading sensor must output the NMEA 0183 sentence HDM or HDG. MARPA Target (only appears when you are targeting a tagged MARPA object)—opens the MARPA target information window. Remove MARPA objects from this window.
Using Sonar Using Sonar When connected to an optional Garmin GSD 22 sounder module and a transducer, your chartplotter can be used as a fishfinder. The GSD 22 connects through the Garmin Marine Network and shares sonar data with every chartplotter connected to the network. Understanding the Full Screen Select the Full Screen option to view a full-screen graph of the sonar readings from the transducer.
Using Sonar Using Sonar Understanding the Split Frequency Screen Use the Split Frequency screen (dual-frequency transducer only) to view both the 50 kHz and 200 kHz frequencies on the same screen. A 200 kHz frequency graph appears on the left; a 50 kHz frequency graph appears on the right. From the Home screen, select Sonar > Split Frequency.
Using Sonar Setting Up Sonar Use the Sonar Setup screen to define and adjust settings universal to all sonar screens. From the Home screen, select Sonar > Sonar Setup. Color Scheme—select white or blue. This affects the background on all sonar screens, but does not change the Temp Log screen. Fish Symbols—set how the sonar interprets suspended targets. The unit does not interpret the sonar return data (default). Suspended targets appear as symbols.
Using Sonar Advanced Sonar Settings To adjust advanced sonar settings, press MENU while viewing a sonar screen. Range—the range of the depth scale on the right side of the screen (Auto or, to adjust manually, Up or Down). Gain—controls the sensitivity of the sonar receiver (Auto or, to adjust manually, Up or Down). To see more detail, increase the gain. If the screen is cluttered, decrease the gain. Frequency—selects how the frequencies appear on screen (200kHz, 50kHz, or Dual).
