Time Zone : Sets the time zone, or allows automatic selection based on GPS location. 1 Apply an eyeglass lens cleaner specified as safe for anti- reflective coatings to the cloth. 2 Gently wipe the screen with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. NOTE: Some settings and options require additional charts or hardware. Select Settings > Navigation . Route Labels : Sets the type of labels shown with route turns on the map. Auto Guidance : Sets the parameters the chartplotter uses when calculating an Auto Guidance path, when you are using some premium maps. Turn Transition Activ. : Sets the turn transition to be calculated based on time or distance. Turn Transition Time :
Sets how many minutes before the turn that you transition to it as the next leg, when Time is selected for the Turn Transition Activ. setting. You can raise this value to help improve the accuracy of the autopilot when navigating a route or an Auto Guidance path with many frequent turns or at higher speeds. For straighter routes or slower speeds, lowering this value can improve autopilot accuracy. Turn Transition Dist. : Sets how far before the turn that you transition to it as the next leg, when Distance is selected for the Turn Transition Activ. setting.
You can raise this value to help improve the accuracy of the autopilot when navigating a route or an Auto Guidance path with many frequent turns or at higher speeds. For straighter routes or slower speeds, lowering this value can improve autopilot accuracy. Route Start : Selects a starting point for route navigation. Navigation Settings Screenshots You can capture a screenshot of any screen shown on your chartplotter as a bitmap (.bmp) file. You can transfer the screenshot to your computer. Capturing Screenshots 1 Insert a memory card into the card slot. 2 Select Settings > System > Display > Screenshot Capture > On . 3 Go to a screen you want to capture.
4 Hold HOME for at least six seconds. Copying Screenshots to a Computer 1 Remove the memory card from the chartplotter, and insert it into a card reader that is attached to a computer. 2 From Windows ® Explorer, open the Garmin\scrn folder on the memory card. 3 Copy a .bmp file from the card and paste it to any location on the computer. Troubleshooting My device will not acquire GPS signals If the device is not acquiring satellite signals, there could be a few causes. If the device has moved a large distance since the last time it has acquired satellites or has been turned off for longer than a few weeks or months, the device may not be able to acquire the satellites correctly.
Ensure the device is using the latest software. If not, update the device software ( Updating the Device Software , page 1 ). Other Vessel Settings When your compatible chartplotter is connected to an AIS device or VHF radio, you can set up how other vessels are displayed on the chartplotter. Select Settings > Other Vessels . AIS : Enables and disables AIS signal reception. DSC : Enables and disables digital selective calling (DSC). AIS Alarm : Sets the collision alarm ( Setting the Safe-Zone My device will not turn on or keeps turning off Devices erratically turning off or not turning on could indicate an issue with the power supplied to the device.
Check these items to attempt to troubleshoot the cause of the power issue. Make sure the power source is generating power. You can check this several ways. For example, you can check whether other devices powered by the source are functioning. Check the fuse in the power cable. The fuse should be located in a holder that is part of the red wire of the power cable. Check that the proper size fuse is installed. Refer to the label on the cable or the installation instructions for the exact fuse size needed. Check the fuse to make sure there is still a connection inside of the fuse. You can test the fuse using a multimeter. If the fuse is good, the multimeter reads 0 ohm.
Check to make sure the device is receiving is at least 10 V, but 12 V is recommended. To check the voltage, measure the female power and ground sockets of the power cable for DC voltage. If the voltage is less than 10 V, the device will not turn on. If the device is receiving enough power but does not turn on, contact Garmin product support at www.garmin.com/support .

Cleaning the Screen My device is not creating waypoints in the correct location You can manually enter a waypoint location to transfer and share data from one device to the next. If you have manually entered a waypoint using coordinates, and the location of the point does not appear where the point should be, the map datum and position format of the device may not match the map datum and position format originally used to mark the waypoint.
NOTICE Cleaners containing ammonia will harm the anti-reflective coating. The device is coated with a special anti-reflective coating which is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. Appendix 21
