Automatic Identification System

The Automatic Identification System (AIS) enables you to

identify and track other vessels, and alerts you to area traffic.

When connected to an external AIS device, the chartplotter can

show some AIS information about other vessels that are within

range, that are equipped with a transponder, and that are

actively transmitting AIS information.

The information reported for each vessel includes the Maritime

Mobile Service Identity (MMSI), location, GPS speed, GPS

heading, time that has elapsed since the last position of the

vessel was reported, nearest approach, and time to the nearest

approach.

Some chartplotter models also support Blue Force Tracking.

Vessels being tracked with Blue Force Tracking are indicated on

the chartplotter with a blue-green color.

AIS Targeting Symbols

Symbol Description

AIS vessel. The vessel is reporting AIS information. The

direction in which the triangle is pointing indicates the

direction in which the AIS vessel is moving.

Target is selected.

Target is activated. The target appears larger on the chart. A

green line attached to the target indicates the heading of the

target. The MMSI, speed, and direction of the vessel appear

beneath the target, if the details setting has been set to Show.

If the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost, a message

banner appears.

Target is lost. A green X indicates that the AIS transmission

from the vessel is lost, and the chartplotter displays a

message banner asking whether the vessel should continue

to be tracked. If you discontinue vessel tracking, the lost

target symbol disappears from the chart or the 3D chart view.

Dangerous target in range. The target flashes while an alarm

sounds and a message banner appears. After the alarm has

been acknowledged, a solid red triangle with a red line

attached to it indicates the location and the heading of the

target. If the safe-zone collision alarm has been set to Off, the

target flashes, but the audible alarm does not sound and the

alarm banner does not appear. If the AIS transmission from

the vessel is lost, a message banner appears.

Dangerous target is lost. A red X indicates that the AIS

transmission from the vessel is lost, and the chartplotter

displays a message banner asking whether the vessel should

continue to be tracked. If you discontinue vessel tracking, the

lost dangerous target symbol disappears from the chart or the

3D chart view.

The location of this symbol indicates the closest point of

approach to a dangerous target, and the numbers near the

symbol indicate the time to the closest point of approach to

that target.

NOTE: Vessels being tracked with the Blue Force Tracking

feature are indicated with a blue-green color regardless of their

status.

Heading and Projected Course of Activated AIS

Targets

When heading and course over ground information are provided

by an activated AIS target, the heading of the target appears on

a chart as a solid line attached to the AIS target symbol. A

heading line does not appear on a 3D chart view.

The projected course of an activated AIS target appears as a

dashed line on a chart or a 3D chart view. The length of the

projected course line is based on the value of the projected

heading setting. If an activated AIS target is not transmitting

speed information, or if the vessel is not moving, a projected

course line does not appear. Changes in the speed, course over

ground, or rate of turn information transmitted by the vessel can

impact the calculation of the projected course line.

When course over ground, heading, and rate of turn information

are provided by an activated AIS target, the projected course of

the target is calculated based on the course over ground and the

rate of turn information. The direction in which the target is

turning, which is also based on the rate of turn information, is

indicated by the direction of the barb at the end of the heading

line. The length of the barb does not change.

When course over ground and heading information are provided

by an activated AIS target, but rate of turn information is not

provided, the projected course of the target is calculated based

on the course over ground information.

Activating a Target for an AIS Vessel

Setting the Safe-Zone Collision Alarm

Before you can set a collision alarm, you must have a

compatible chartplotter connected to an AIS device or radar.

The safe-zone collision alarm is used only with AIS and MARPA.

MARPA functionality works with radar. The safe zone is used for

collision avoidance and can be customized.

Select Settings > Alarms > Collision Alarm > On.

A message banner appears and an alarm sounds when a

MARPA-tagged object or an AIS-activated vessel enters the

safe-zone area around your boat. The object is also labeled

as dangerous on the screen. When the alarm is off, the

message banner and audible alarm are disabled, but the

object is still labeled as dangerous on the screen.

Select Range, and select a distance for the safe-zone radius

around your vessel.

Select Time To, and select a time at which the alarm will

sound if a target is determined to intersect the safe zone.

10 Charts and 3D Chart Views

For example, to be notified of a pending intersection 10

minutes before it will likely occur, set Time To to 10, and the

alarm will sound 10 minutes before the vessel intersects the

safe zone.

Select MARPA Alarm, and select an option for when the

alarm sounds for MARPA-tagged objects.

AIS Aids to Navigation

An AIS aid to navigation (ATON) is any kind of navigational aid

that is transmitted over the AIS radio. ATONs are displayed on

the charts and have identifying information, such as position and

type.

There are three main kinds of AIS ATONs. Real ATONs

physically exist and send their identifying and location

information from their actual location. Synthetic ATONs

physically exist, and their identifying and location information is

sent from another location. Virtual ATONs do not actually exist,

and their identifying and location information is sent from

another location.

You can view AIS ATONs on the chart when the chartplotter is

connected to a compatible AIS radio. To show AIS ATONs, from

a chart, select Menu > Layers > Chart > Navaid > ATONs. You

can view more information about an ATON if you select the

ATON on the chart.

AIS Distress Signals

Self-contained AIS distress signal devices transmit emergency

position reports when activated. The chartplotter can receive

signals from Search and Rescue Transmitters (SART),

Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB), and

other man overboard signals. Distress signal transmissions are

different than standard AIS transmissions, so they appear

differently on the chartplotter. Instead of tracking a distress

signal transmission for collision avoidance, you track a distress

signal transmission to locate and assist a vessel or person.

Navigating to a Distress Signal Transmission

When you receive a distress signal transmission, a distress

signal alarm appears.

Select Review > Go To to begin navigation to the

transmission.

Garmin Quickdraw Contours Mapping

WARNING

The Garmin Quickdraw Contours mapping feature allows users

to generate maps. Garmin makes no representations about the

accuracy, reliability, completeness or timeliness of the maps

generated by third parties. Any use or reliance on the maps

generated by third parties is at your own risk.

The Garmin Quickdraw Contours mapping feature allows you to

instantly create maps with contours and depth labels for any

body of water.

When Garmin Quickdraw Contours records data, a colored

circle surrounds the vessel icon. This circle represents the

approximate area of the map that is scanned by each pass.

A green circle indicates good depth and GPS position, and a

speed under 16 km/h (10 mph). A yellow circle indicates good

depth and GPS position, and a speed between 16 and 32 km/h

(10 and 20 mph). A red circle indicates poor depth or GPS

position, and a speed above 32 km/h (20 mph).

You can view Garmin Quickdraw Contours in a combination

screen or as a single view on the map.

The amount of saved data depends on the size of your memory

card, your sonar source, and the speed of your boat as you

record data. You can record longer when you use a single-beam

sonar. It is estimated that you might be able to record about

1,500 hours of data onto a 2 GB memory card.

When you record data on a memory card in your chartplotter,

the new data is added to your existing Garmin Quickdraw

Contours map, and is saved on the memory card. When you

insert a new memory card, the existing data does not transfer

onto the new card.

Navigation with a Chartplotter

WARNING

All route and navigation lines displayed on the chartplotter are

only intended to provide general route guidance or to identify

proper channels, and are not intended to be precisely followed.

Always defer to the navaids and conditions on the water when

navigating to avoid groundings or hazards that could result in

vessel damage, personal injury, or death.

The Auto Guidance feature is based on electronic chart

information. That data does not ensure obstacle and bottom

clearance. Carefully compare the course to all visual sightings,

and avoid any land, shallow water, or other obstacles that may

be in your path.

When using Go To, a direct course and a corrected course may

pass over land or shallow water. Use visual sightings, and steer

to avoid land, shallow water, and other dangerous objects.

CAUTION

If your vessel has an autopilot system, a dedicated autopilot

control display must be installed at each steering helm in order

to disable the autopilot system.

NOTE: Some chart views are available with premium charts, in

some areas.

To navigate, you must choose a destination, set a course or

create a route, and follow the course or route. You can follow

the course or the route on the Navigation chart, Fishing chart,

Perspective 3D chart view, or Mariner’s Eye 3D chart view.

You can set and follow a course to a destination using one of

three methods: Go To, Route To, or Auto Guidance.

Go To: Takes you directly to the destination. This is the

standard option for navigating to a destination. The

chartplotter creates a straight-line course or navigation line to

the destination. The path may run over land and other

obstacles.

Route To: Creates a route from your location to a destination,

allowing you to add turns along the way. This option provides

a straight-line course to the destination, but allows you to add

turns into the route to avoid land and other obstacles.

Auto Guidance: Uses the specified information about your

vessel and chart data to determine the best path to your

destination. This option is available only when using a

compatible premium chart in a compatible chartplotter. It

Navigation with a Chartplotter 15

provides a turn-by-turn navigation path to the destination,

avoiding land and other obstacles (Auto Guidance,

page 18).

When you are using a compatible Garmin autopilot

connected to the chartplotter using NMEA 2000

, the

autopilot follows the Auto Guidance route.

NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in

some areas.

Auto Guidance Path Configurations

CAUTION

The Preferred Depth and Vertical Clearance settings influence

how the chartplotter calculates an Auto Guidance path. If an

area has an unknown water depth or an unknown obstacle

height, the Auto Guidance path is not calculated in that area. If

an area at the beginning or the end of an Auto Guidance path is

shallower than the Preferred Depth or lower than the Vertical

Clearance settings, the Auto Guidance path may not be

calculated in that area, depending on the map data. On the

chart, the course through those areas appears as a gray line or

a magenta and gray striped line. When your boat enters one of

those areas, a warning message appears.

NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some

areas.

NOTE: Not all settings apply to all maps.

You can set the parameters the chartplotter uses when

calculating an Auto Guidance path.

Preferred Depth: Sets the minimum water depth, based on

chart depth data, that your boat can safely travel over.

NOTE: The minimum water depth for the premium charts

(made before 2016) is 3 feet. If you enter a value of less than

3 feet, the charts only use depths of 3 feet for Auto Guidance

path calculations.

Vertical Clearance: Sets the minimum height of a bridge or

obstacle, based on chart data, that your boat can safely

travel under.

Shoreline Distance: Sets how close to the shore you want the

Auto Guidance path to be placed. The Auto Guidance path

may move if you change this setting while navigating. The

available values for this setting are relative, not absolute. To

ensure that the Auto Guidance line is placed the appropriate

distance from shore, you can assess the placement of the

Auto Guidance path using one or more familiar destinations

that require navigation through a narrow waterway (Adjusting

the Distance from Shore, page 19).

Adjusting the Distance from Shore

The Shoreline Distance setting indicates how close to the shore

you want the Auto Guidance line to be placed. The Auto

Sailing Features

Setting the Vessel Type

You can select your boat type to configure the chartplotter

settings and to use features customized for your boat type.

Select Settings > My Vessel > Vessel Type.

Select an option.

Sail Racing

You can use the device to increase the likelihood that your boat

will cross the start line of a race exactly when the race begins.

When you synchronize the race timer with the official race

countdown timer, you are alerted at one-minute intervals as the

race start approaches. When you combine the race timer with

the virtual start line, the device measures your speed, bearing,

and remaining time on the countdown timer. The device uses

this data to indicate whether your boat will cross the start line

before, after, or at the correct time to start the race.

Starting Line Guidance

Sailing start line guidance is a visual representation of the

information you need to cross the start line at the optimal time

and speed.

After you set the starboard and port start line pins, and the

target speed and time, and after you start the race timer, a

predictor line appears. The predictor line extends from your

current location toward the start line and the laylines that extend

from each pin.

The end point and color of the predictor line indicate where the

boat will be when the timer expires, based on your current boat

speed.

When the end point is before the start line, the line is white. This

indicates the boat must increase speed to reach the start line on

time.

When the end point is past the start line, the line is red. This

indicates the boat must reduce speed to avoid a penalty for

reaching the start line before the timer expires.

When the end point is on the start line, the line is white. This

indicates the boat is moving at an optimal speed to reach the

start line when the timer expires.

By default, the start line guidance window and the race timer

window appear in the Sail Racing combination screen.

Setting the Starting Line

The start line guidance window is added to the Sail Racing

combination screen by default.

From the Sail Racing combination screen, select Menu >

Start Line Guidance > Start Line.

laylines. The Actual option calculates the laylines using the

measured wind angle from the wind sensor. The Manual

option calculates the laylines using manually entered

windward and leeward angles.

Windward Ang.: Allows you to set a layline based on the

windward sailing angle.

Leeward Ang.: Allows you to set a layline based on the leeward

sailing angle.

Tide Correction: Corrects the laylines based on the tide.

Layline Filter: Filters the layline data based on the time interval

entered. For a smoother layline that filters out some of the

changes in the boat's heading or true wind angle, enter a

higher number. For laylines that display a higher sensitivity to

changes in the boat's heading or true wind angle, enter a

lower number.

Setting the Keel Offset

You can enter a keel offset to compensate the water depth

reading for the transducer installation location. This allows you

to view the depth of the water below the keel or the true depth of

the water, depending on your needs.

If you want to know the water depth below the keel or the lowest

point of your boat and the transducer is installed at the water

line or anywhere above the end of the keel, measure the

distance from the transducer location to the keel of the boat.

If you want to know the true water depth and the transducer is

installed below the water line, measure the distance from the

bottom of the transducer up to the water line.

NOTE: This option is only available when you have valid depth

data.

Measure the distance:

• If the transducer is installed at the water line or

anywhere above the end of the keel, measure the

distance from the transducer location to the keel of the

boat. Enter this value as a positive number.

• If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel

and you want to know the true depth of the water,

measure the distance from the transducer to the water

line. Enter this value in as a negative number.

Select Settings > My Vessel > Depth and Anchoring >

Keel Offset.

Select if the transducer is installed at the water line, or

select if the transducer is installed at the bottom of the

keel.

Enter the distance measured in step 1.

needs, go to garmin.com/transducers.

Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area. The

sonar views available vary depending on the type of transducer

and sounder module connected to the chartplotter. For example,

you can view certain Panoptix

™

sonar screens only if you have a

compatible Panoptix transducer connected.

There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a full-

screen view, a split-screen view that combines two or more

views, a split-zoom view, and a split-frequency view that

displays two different frequencies. You can customize the

settings for each view in the screen. For example, if you are

viewing the split-frequency view, you can separately adjust the

gain for each frequency.

If you do not see an arrangement of sonar views to suit your

transducer. For information about compatible transducers, go to

garmin.com/transducers.

Garmin ClearVü high-frequency sonar provides a detailed

picture of the fishing environment around the boat in a detailed

representation of structures the boat is passing over.

Traditional transducers emit a conical beam. The Garmin

ClearVü scanning sonar technology emits two narrow beams,

similar to the shape of the beam in a copying machine. These

beams provide a clearer, picture-like image of what is beneath

the boat.

SideVü Sonar View

NOTE: Not all models provide built-in SideVü sonar support. If

your model does not provide built-in SideVü sonar, you need a

compatible sounder module and compatible SideVü transducer.

If your model does provide built-in SideVü sonar, you need a

Sonar Sharing

You can view the sonar data from all compatible sources on the

Garmin Marine Network. You can view sonar data from a

compatible external sonar module, such as a GCV

™

sonar

module. In addition, you can view the sonar data from other

chartplotters that have a built-in sonar module.

Each chartplotter on the network can display sonar data from

every compatible sonar module and transducer on the network,

no matter where the chartplotters and transducers are mounted

on your boat. For example, from one MFD 7612 device mounted

at the back of the boat, you can view the sonar data from

another GLASS COCKPIT device and Garmin ClearVü

transducer mounted at the front of your boat.

When sharing sonar data, the values of some sonar settings,

such as Range and Gain, are synchronized across the devices

on the network. The values of other sonar settings, such as the

Appearance settings, are not synchronized and should be

configured on each individual device. In addition, the scroll rates

of the various traditional and Garmin ClearVü sonar views are

synchronized to make the split views more cohesive.

NOTE: Using multiple transducers simultaneously can create

cross talk, which can be removed by adjusting the Interference

sonar setting.

Adjusting the Level of Detail

You can control the level of detail and noise shown on the sonar

screen either by adjusting the gain for traditional transducers or

by adjusting the brightness for Garmin ClearVü transducers.

If you want to see the highest intensity signal returns on the

screen, you can lower the gain or brightness to remove lower

intensity returns and noise. If you want to see all return

information, you can increase the gain or brightness to see more

information on the screen. This also increases noise, and can

make it more difficult to recognize actual returns.

You can adjust the intensity of colors and highlight areas of

interest on the sonar screen by adjusting the color gain for

traditional transducers or the contrast for Garmin ClearVü and

SideVü/ClearVü transducers. This setting works best after you

have adjusted the level of detail shown on the screen using the

gain or brightness settings.

If you want to highlight smaller fish targets or create a higher

intensity display of a target, you can increase the color gain or

contrast setting. This causes a loss in the differentiation of the

high intensity returns at the bottom. If you want to reduce the

intensity of the return, you can reduce the color gain or contrast.

From a sonar view, select Menu.

Select an option:

• While in the Garmin ClearVü or SideVü sonar view, select

Contrast.

• While in a Panoptix LiveVü sonar view, select Color Gain.

• While in another sonar view, select Sonar Setup >

Appearance > Color Gain.

Select an option:

• To increase or decrease the color intensity manually,

select Up or Down.

• To use the default setting, select Default.

placement of the bottom lock area.

To cancel the zoom, deselect the Zoom option.

Setting the Scroll Speed

You can set the rate at which the sonar image moves across the

screen. A higher scroll speed shows more detail until there is no

additional detail to show, at which point it starts stretching out

the existing detail. This can be useful while moving or trolling, or

when you are in very deep water where the sonar is pinging very

slowly. A lower scroll speed displays sonar information on the

screen longer.

For most situations, the Default setting provides a good balance

between a quickly scrolling image and less distorted targets.

From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Scroll

Speed.

Select an option:

• To adjust the scroll speed automatically using speed-over-

ground or water speed data, select Auto.

The Auto setting selects a scroll rate to match the boat

speed, so targets in the water are drawn with the correct

aspect ratio and appear less distorted. When viewing

Garmin ClearVü or SideVü sonar views or searching for

structure, it is recommend to use the Auto setting.

• To scroll faster, select Up.

• To scroll more slowly, select Down.

Adjusting the Range of the Depth or Width Scale

You can adjust the range of the depth scale traditional and

Garmin ClearVü sonar views and the range of the width scale

for the SideVü sonar view.

Allowing the device to adjust the range automatically keeps the

bottom within the lower or outer third of the sonar screen, and

can be useful for tracking a bottom that has minimal or moderate

terrain changes.

Manually adjusting the range enables you to view a specified

range, which can be useful for tracking a bottom that has large

terrain changes, such as a drop-offs or cliffs. The bottom can

appear on the screen as long as it appears within the range you

have set.

From a sonar view, select Menu > Range.

Select an option:

• To allow the chartplotter to adjust the range automatically,

select Auto.

• To increase or decrease the range manually, select Up or

TIP: When viewing multiple sonar screens, you can select

Select to choose the active screen.

Sonar Noise Rejection Settings

From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Noise

Reject.

Interference: Adjusts the sensitivity to reduce the effects of

interference from nearby sources of noise.

The lowest interference setting that achieves the desired

improvement should be used to remove interference from the

screen. Correcting installation issues that cause noise is the

best way to eliminate interference.

Color Limit: Hides part of the color palette to help eliminate

fields of weak clutter.

By setting the color limit to the color of the undesired returns,

you can eliminate the display of undesired returns on the

screen.

Smoothing: Removes noise that is not part of a normal sonar

return, and adjusts the appearance of returns, such as the

bottom.

When smoothing is set to high, more of the low-level noise

remains than when using the interference control, but the

noise is more subdued because of averaging. Smoothing can

remove speckle from the bottom. Smoothing and interference

work well together to eliminate low-level noise. You can

adjust the interference and smoothing settings incrementally

to remove undesirable noise from the display.

Surface Noise: Hides surface noise to help reduce clutter.

Wider beam widths (lower frequencies) can show more

targets, but can generate more surface noise.

28 Sonar Fishfinder

TVG: Adjusts the time varying gain, which can reduce noise.

This control is best used for situations when you want to

control and suppress clutter or noise near the water surface.

It also allows for the display of targets near the surface that

are otherwise hidden or masked by surface noise.

Sonar Appearance Settings

From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Appearance.

Color Scheme: Sets the color scheme.

Color Gain: Adjusts the intensity of colors (Adjusting the Color

Intensity, page 27).

A-Scope: Displays a vertical flasher along the right side of the

screen that shows instantaneously the range to targets along

a scale.

Depth Line: Shows a quick-reference depth line.

Edge: Highlights the strongest signal from the bottom to help

define the hardness or softness of the signal.

Fish Symbols: Sets how the sonar interprets suspended

targets.

Shows suspended targets as symbols and background sonar

information.

Shows suspended targets as symbols with target depth

information and background sonar information.

Shows suspended targets as symbols.

Shows suspended targets as symbols with target depth

information.

Echo Stretch: Adjusts the size of the echoes on the screen to

make it easier to see separate returns on the screen.

When targets are difficult to see , echo stretch makes the

target returns more pronounced and easier to see on the

screen. If the echo stretch value is too high, the targets blend

together. If the value is too low , the targets are small and

more difficult to see.

You can use echo stretch and filter width together to obtain

the preferable resolution and noise reduction. With echo

stretch and filter width set to low, the display has the highest

resolution, but is the most susceptible to noise. With echo

stretch set to high and filter width set to low, the display has a

lower resolution, but has wider targets. With echo stretch and

filter width set to high, the display has the lowest resolution,

but is the least susceptible to noise. It is not recommended to

set echo stretch to low and filter width to high.

Overlay Data: Sets the data shown on the sonar screen.

Sonar Alarms

NOTE: Not all options are available on all transducers.

From an applicable sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup >

Alarms.

You can also open the sonar alarms by selecting Settings >

Alarms > Sonar.

Shallow Water: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth is less

than the specified value.

Deep Water: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth is greater

than the specified value.

FrontVü Alarm: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth in front

of the vessel is less than the specified value, which can help

you avoid running aground (Setting the FrontVü Depth Alarm,

page 31). This alarm is available only with Panoptix FrontVü

transducers.

Water Temp.: Sets an alarm to sound when the transducer

reports a temperature that is 2°F (1.1°C) above or below the

specified temperature.

Contour: Sets an alarm to sound when the transducer detects a

suspended target within the specified depth from the surface

of the water and from the bottom.

Fish

Fish: Sets an alarm to sound when the device detects a

suspended target.

• sets the alarm to sound when fish of all sizes are

detected.

• sets the alarm to sound only when medium or large

fish are detected.

• sets the alarm to sound only when large fish are

detected.

Advanced Sonar Settings

From a Traditional sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup >

Advanced.

Shift: Allows you to set the depth range on which the sonar is

focused. This allows you to zoom in a higher resolution in the

focused depth.

When using shift, bottom tracking may not work effectively,

because the sonar looks for data within the depth range of

the focused area, which may not include the bottom. Using

shift also can impact the scroll speed, because data outside

the depth range of the focused area is not processed, which

reduces the time required to receive and display the data.

You can zoom in to the focused area, which enables you to

evaluate target returns more closely at a higher resolution

than just zooming alone.

Btm. Srch. Limit: Limits the search for the bottom to the depth

selected when the Range setting is set to Auto. To minimize

the length of time it takes to find the bottom, you can select a

depth to limit the search for the bottom. The device will not

search for the bottom deeper than the selected depth.

Traditional, Garmin ClearVü, and SideVü Transducer

Installation Settings

From a Traditional, Garmin ClearVü, or SideVü sonar view,

select Menu > Sonar Setup > Installation.

Transmit Rate: Sets the length of time between sonar pings.

Increasing the transmit rate increases the scroll speed, but it

may also increase self-interference.

Reducing the transmit rate increases the spacing between

transmit pulses and can resolve self-interference. This option

is available on the Traditional sonar view only.

Transmit Power: Reduces transducer ringing near the surface.

A lower transmit power value reduces transducer ringing, but

can also reduce the strength of the returns. This option is

available on the Traditional sonar view only.

Filter Width: Defines the edges of the target. A shorter filter

more clearly defines the edges of the targets but may allow

more noise. A longer filter creates softer target edges and

may also reduce noise. This option is available on the

Traditional sonar view only.

Flip Left/Right: Switches the SideVü view orientation from left

to right. This option is available on the SideVü sonar view

only.

Restore Sonar Defaults: Restores the sonar settings to the

factory default values.

Sonar Fishfinder 29

Sonar Frequencies

NOTE: The frequencies available depend on the device and

trandsucers being used.

Adjusting the frequency helps adapt the sonar for your particular

goals and the present depth of the water.

Higher frequencies use narrow beam widths, and are better for

high-speed operation and rough sea conditions. Bottom

definition and thermocline definition can be better when using a

higher frequency.

Lower frequencies use wider beam widths, which can let the

fisherman see more targets, but could also generate more

surface noise and reduce bottom signal continuity during rough

sea conditions. Wider beam widths generate larger arches for

fish target returns, making them ideal for locating fish. Wider

beam widths also perform better in deep water, because the

lower frequency has better deep water penetration.

CHIRP frequencies allow you to sweep each pulse through a

range of frequencies, resulting in better target separation in

deep water. CHIRP can be used to distinctly identify targets, like

individual fish in a school, and for deep water applications.

CHIRP generally performs better than single frequency

applications. Because some fish targets may show up better

using a fixed frequency, you should consider your goals and

water conditions when using CHIRP frequencies.

Some transducers also provide the ability to customize preset

frequencies for each transducer element, which enables you to

change the frequency quickly using the presets as the water and

your goals change.

Viewing two frequencies concurrently using the split-frequency

view allows you to see deeper with the lower frequency return

and, at the same time, see more detail from the higher

frequency return.

NOTICE

Always be aware of local regulations on sonar frequencies. For

example, to protect orca whale pods, you might be prohibited

from using frequencies between 50 to 80 khz with in ½ mile of

an orca whale pod. It is your responsibility to use the device in

compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances.

Setting the Bow Offset

For forward view Panoptix transducers, you can enter a bow

offset to compensate the forward distance readings for the

transducer installation location. This allows you to view the

forward distance from the bow instead of the transducer

installation location.

This feature applies to Panoptix transducers in the FrontVü,

LiveVü Forward, and RealVü 3D Forward sonar views.

Measure the horizontal distance from the transducer to the

bow.

From an applicable sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup

> Installation > Bow Offset.

Enter the distance measured, and select Done.

On the applicable sonar view, the forward range shifts by the

distance you entered.

Calibrating the Compass

Before you can calibrate the compass, the transducer must be

installed on the shaft far enough away from the trolling motor to

avoid magnetic interference, and deployed in the water.

Calibration must be of sufficient quality to enable the internal

compass.

NOTE: To use the compass, you must mount the transducer on

the transom or the trolling motor shaft. The compass may not

work when you mount the transducer on the motor.

NOTE: For best results, you should use a heading sensor such

as the SteadyCast

™

heading sensor. The heading sensor shows

the direction the transducer is pointing relative to the boat.

NOTE: Compass calibration is available only for transducers

with an internal compass, such as the PS21-TR transducer.

You can begin turning your boat before calibrating, but you must

fully rotate your boat 1.5 times during calibration.

From an applicable sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup

> Installation.

If necessary, select Use AHRS to turn on the AHRS sensor.

Select Calibrate Compass.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

Radar

WARNING

The marine radar transmits microwave energy that has the

potential to be harmful to humans and animals. Before

beginning radar transmission, verify that the area around the

radar is clear. The radar transmits a beam approximately 12°

above and below a line extending horizontally from the center of

the radar.

When the radar is transmitting, do not look directly at the

antenna at close range; eyes are the most sensitive part of the

body to electromagnetic energy.

When you connect your compatible chartplotter to an optional

Garmin marine radar, such as a GMR

™

Fantom

™

6 radar or a

GMR 24 xHD, you can view more information about your

surroundings.

The radar transmits a narrow beam of microwave energy as it

rotates to a 360° pattern. When the transmitted energy contacts

a target, some of that energy is reflected back to the radar.

Radar Interpretation

Reading and interpreting the radar display takes practice. The

more you use the radar, the better you will become at relying on

the radar display when you really need it.

Radar can be useful in many situations, such as avoiding

collisions when you have limited visibility, for example when it is

dark or foggy, tracking weather, seeing what is ahead of you,

and locating birds and fish.

The radar overlay feature can help you interpret the radar

display more easily, because it overlays the radar returns on top

of the chart. This can help you identify the difference between a

radar return of a land mass, bridge, or rain cloud. Showing the

AIS vessels on the radar overlay can also help you identify

features on the radar display.

In the screenshot below, the radar overlay is turned on. This

screen also shows a video feed. We can easily identify a few

items on the radar screen.

32 Radar

Land

Vessel

Radar Overlay

When you connect your chartplotter to an optional Garmin

marine radar, you can use overlay radar information on the

Navigation chart or on the Fishing chart.

Data appears on the radar overlay based on the most recently

used radar mode and all settings configurations applied to the

radar overlay are also applied to the last-used radar mode.

Radar Overlay and Chart Data Alignment

When using the Radar overlay, the chartplotter aligns radar data

with chart data based on the boat heading, which is based by

default on data from a magnetic heading sensor connected

using a NMEA

0183 or NMEA 2000 network. If a heading

sensor is not available, the boat heading is based on GPS

tracking data.

GPS tracking data indicates the direction in which the boat is

moving, not the direction in which the boat is pointing. If the boat

is drifting backward or sideways due to a current or wind, the

Radar overlay may not perfectly align with the chart data. This

situation should be avoided by using boat-heading data from an

electronic compass.

If the boat heading is based on data from a magnetic heading

sensor or an automatic pilot, the heading data could be

compromised due to incorrect setup, mechanical malfunction,

magnetic interference, or other factors. If the heading data is

compromised, the Radar overlay may not align perfectly with the

chart data.

Transmitting Radar Signals

NOTE: As a safety feature, the radar enters standby mode after

it warms up. This gives you an opportunity to verify the area

around the radar is clear before beginning radar transmission.

With the chartplotter off, connect your radar as described in

the radar installation instructions.

Turn on the chartplotter.

If necessary, the radar warms up and a countdown alerts you

when the radar is ready.

Select Radar.

Select a radar mode.

A countdown message appears while the radar is starting up.

Adjusting the Radar Range

The range of the radar signal indicates the length of the pulsed

signal transmitted and received by the radar. As the range

increases, the radar transmits longer pulses in order to reach

distant targets. Closer targets, especially rain and waves, also

reflect the longer pulses, which can add noise to the Radar

screen. Viewing information about longer-range targets can also

decrease the amount of space available on the Radar screen for

viewing information about shorter-range targets.

• Select to decrease the range.

• Select to increase the range.

Tips for Selecting a Radar Range

• Determine what information you need to see on the Radar

screen.

For example, do you need information about nearby weather

conditions or targets and traffic, or are you more concerned

about distant weather conditions?

• Assess the environmental conditions where the radar is being

used.

Especially in inclement weather, longer-range radar signals

can increase the clutter on the Radar screen and make it

more difficult to view information about shorter-range targets.

In rain, shorter-range radar signals can enable you to view

information about nearby objects more effectively, if the rain

clutter setting is configured optimally.

• Select the shortest effective range, given your reason for

using radar and the present environmental conditions.

MotionScope

™

Doppler Radar Technology

The GMR Fantom radar uses the Doppler effect to detect and

highlight moving targets to help you avoid potential collisions,

find flocks of birds, and track weather formations. The Doppler

effect is the frequency shift in the radar echo due to the relative

motion of the target. This allows for instant detection of any

targets moving toward or away from the radar.

The MotionScope feature highlights the moving targets on the

radar display so you can navigate around other boats or severe

weather, or toward fishing spots where birds are feeding at the

surface.

The moving targets are color-coded so you can tell at a glance

which targets are moving toward or away from you. On most

Radar 33

color schemes, green indicates the target is moving away from

you and red indicates the target is moving toward you.

On some models, you can also adjust the M-Scope Sensitivity

setting to change the speed threshold for target highlighting. A

higher setting highlights slower targets, and a lower setting

highlights only faster targets.

Enabling a Guard Zone

You can enable a guard zone to alert you when anything comes

within a specified area around your boat.

From a radar screen, select Menu > Radar Options > Guard

Zone.

Defining a Circular Guard Zone

Before you can define the boundaries of the guard zone, you

must enable a guard zone (Enabling a Guard Zone, page 34).

You can define a circular guard zone that completely surrounds

your boat.

From a radar screen, select Menu > Radar Options > Guard

Zone > > Circle.

Select the location of the outer guard zone circle.

Select the location of the inner guard zone circle to define the

width of the guard zone.

Defining a Partial Guard Zone

Before you can define the boundaries of the guard zone, you

must enable a guard zone (Enabling a Guard Zone, page 34).

You can define the boundaries of a guard zone that does not

completely surround your boat.

From a radar screen, select Menu > Radar Options > Guard

Zone > > Corner 1.

MARPA

Mini-automatic radar plotting aid (MARPA) enables you to

identify and track targets and is primarily used for collision

avoidance. To use MARPA, you assign a MARPA tag to a

target. The radar system automatically tracks the tagged object

and provides you with information about the object, including the

range, bearing, speed, GPS heading, nearest approach, and

time to nearest approach. MARPA indicates the status of each

tagged object (acquiring, lost, tracking, or dangerous), and the

chartplotter can sound a collision alarm if the object enters your

safe zone.

MARPA Targeting Symbols

Acquiring a target. Concentric, dashed green rings radiate from

the target while the radar is locking onto it.

Target has been acquired. A solid green ring indicates the

location of a target that the radar has locked onto. A dashed

green line attached to the circle indicates the projected course

over ground or the GPS heading of the target.

Dangerous target is in range. A red ring flashes from the target

while an alarm sounds and a message banner appears. After the

alarm has been acknowledged, a solid red dot with a dashed red

line attached to it indicates the location and the projected course

over ground or the GPS heading of the target. If the safe-zone

collision alarm has been set to Off, the target flashes, but the

audible alarm does not sound and the alarm banner does not

appear.

Target has been lost. A solid green ring with an X through it

indicates that the radar could not lock onto the target.

Closest point of approach and time to closest point of approach to

a dangerous target.

Assigning a MARPA Tag to an Object

Before you can use MARPA, you must have a heading sensor

connected and an active GPS signal. The heading sensor must

Autopilot

WARNING

You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your

vessel. The autopilot is a tool that enhances your capability to

operate your boat. It does not relieve you of the responsibility of

safely operating your boat. Avoid navigational hazards and

never leave the helm unattended.

Always be prepared to promptly regain manual control of your

boat.

Learn to operate the autopilot on calm and hazard-free open

water.

Use caution when operating the autopilot near hazards in the

water, such as docks, pilings, and other boats.

The autopilot system continuously adjusts the steering of your

boat to maintain a constant heading (heading hold). The system

also allows manual steering and several modes of automatic-

steering functions and patterns.

When the chartplotter is connected to a compatible Garmin

autopilot system, you can engage and control the autopilot from

the chartplotter.

For information about compatible Garmin autopilot systems, go

to garmin.com.

delays. The autopilot needs timely information, and therefore

cannot often use third-party GPS compass data for GPS

location or speed. If a third-party GPS compass is used, the

autopilot will likely report loss of navigation data and speed

source periodically.

If you have more than one heading source on the network, you

can select a your preferred source. The source could be a

NOTE: Some settings and options require additional charts or

hardware.

Select Settings > My Vessel.

For more information, refer to the Volvo Penta manual.

Depth and Anchoring: Allows you to enter information about

the keel (Setting the Keel Offset, page 22) and the anchor.

The Anchor Height value is the height of the anchor above

the waterline. The Anchor Scope value is the ratio of the

length of anchor rode in use to the vertical distance from the

bow of the vessel to the bottom of the water. These anchor

settings are used to calculate the Target Anchor Rode date

field.

Temp. Offset: Allows you to set an offset value to compensate

for the water temperature reading from a NMEA 0183 water-

temperature sensor or a temperature-capable transducer

(Setting the Water Temperature Offset, page 57).

Calibrate Water Speed: Calibrates the speed-sensing

transducer or sensor (Calibrating a Water Speed Device,

page 57).

Vessel Type: Enables some chartplotter features based on the

boat type.

CZone™: Sets the digital switching circuits.

SeaStar Instance: Sets the digital switching circuits.

e-KEY Management: Allows you to manage the electronic keys

(e-KEYs).

Drive Type: The setting should be changed by authorized Volvo

Penta personnel only.

ACP Mode: Sets the ACP protection mode.

Toe Angle: The setting should be changed by authorized Volvo

Penta personnel only.

Speed Factor: Calibrates the displayed boat speed.

PTA Settings: Allows you to enter new maximum limits for the

PTA modes.

Fuel Tank: Sets the fuel tank settings.

Seven Marine Installation: Sets the Seven Marine engine

settings.

Hull ID Number: Allows you to enter the Hull Identification

Number (HIN).The HIN might be permanently affixed to the

upper starboard side of the transom or outboard side.

Setting the Keel Offset

You can enter a keel offset to compensate the water depth

reading for the transducer installation location. This allows you

to view the depth of the water below the keel or the true depth of

the water, depending on your needs.

If you want to know the water depth below the keel or the lowest

point of your boat and the transducer is installed at the water

line or anywhere above the end of the keel, measure the

distance from the transducer location to the keel of the boat.

If you want to know the true water depth and the transducer is

installed below the water line, measure the distance from the

bottom of the transducer up to the water line.

NOTE: This option is only available when you have valid depth

data.

Measure the distance:

• If the transducer is installed at the water line or

anywhere above the end of the keel, measure the

distance from the transducer location to the keel of the

boat. Enter this value as a positive number.

• If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel

and you want to know the true depth of the water,

measure the distance from the transducer to the water

line. Enter this value in as a negative number.

Select Settings > My Vessel > Depth and Anchoring >

Keel Offset.

Select if the transducer is installed at the water line, or

select if the transducer is installed at the bottom of the

keel.

Enter the distance measured in step 1.

56 Device Configuration

Setting the Water Temperature Offset

Before you can set the water temperature offset, you must have

a NMEA 0183 water-temperature sensor or a temperature-

capable transducer to measure water temperature.

The temperature offset compensates for the temperature

reading from a temperature sensor.

Measure the water temperature using the temperature sensor

or temperature-capable transducer that is connected to the

chartplotter.

Measure the water temperature using a different temperature

sensor or a thermometer that is known to be accurate.

Subtract the water temperature measured in step 1 from the

water temperature measured in step 2.

This is the temperature offset. Enter this value in step 5 as a

positive number if the sensor connected to the chartplotter

measures the water temperature as being colder than it

actually is. Enter this value in step 5 as a negative number if

the sensor connected to the chartplotter measures the water

temperature as being warmer than it actually is.

Select Settings > My Vessel > Temp. Offset.

Enter the temperature offset calculated in step 3.

Calibrating a Water Speed Device

If you have a speed-sensing transducer connected to the

chartplotter, you can calibrate that speed-sensing device to

improve the accuracy of water-speed data displayed by the

chartplotter.

Select Settings > My Vessel > Calibrate Water Speed.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is

not registering a speed, a message appears.

Select OK, and safely increase the boat speed.

If the message appears again, stop the boat, and ensure the

speed-sensor wheel is not stuck.

If the wheel turns freely, check the cable connections.

If you continue to get the message, contact Garmin product

support.

Adding a Key

You can add keys to the system. The system can have up to

four keys, which are numbered from 1 to 4.

Select Settings > My Vessel > e-KEY Management > Add

e-KEY.

When prompted, hold the new key in front of the panel.

The system will store the key ID.

Setting the Speed Factor

Before you can set the speed factor, you must compare the

displayed vessel speed with an external data source for speed,

such as GPS or another vessel.

Before you can set the speed factor, the vessel must be under

way.

Select Settings > My Vessel > Speed Factor.

Enter the difference between the displayed speed and the

external data.

Verify that the two speed sources are displaying the same

value.

Fuel Tank Settings

Select Settings > My Vessel > Fuel Tank, and select a

driveline.

For more information, refer to the Volvo Penta manual.

Volume: Sets the fuel capacity of this fuel tank on your vessel.

Empty Tank: Calibrates the empty tank level.

Multipoint: Calibrates various fuel levels between empty and

full.

Full Tank Calibration: Calibrates the full tank level.

Seven Marine Engine Installation Settings

Select Settings > My Vessel > Seven Marine Installation.

DPS Button: Allows you to set the joystick button DPS modes.

Trim Zero Set: Allows you to initialize the trim angle to zero

when all motors are fully trimmed down.

Tank Preset: Sets the tank name, fluid type, sensor style, and

tank capacity, and calibrates the sensor (Configuring the

Tank Level Sensors, page 43).

Air Purge: Allows you to bleed air from the steering system

using the steering pumps.

Steer Sensor: Calibrates the engine steering system using

physical end stops. A physical end stop is the point at which

a steering wheel stops turning in a direction.

Joystick Thrust: Allows you to set how hard the thrusters work.

Larger boats may need to select Maximum for the boat to

move, while Maximum joystick thrust may provide too much

thrust for smaller boats.

Lock to Lock: Allows you to set the number of turns from lock to

lock.

Steer Friction: Sets the friction on the steering wheel. The

friction is adjusted automatically according to the engine

speed.

Engine Distance: Allows you to set the distance between drive

lines to limit achievable steering angles for certain engine

distances.

Gear Rotation: Allows you to set the type of gear case on the

outboard to define forward and reverse shift direction.

Gear Ratio: Allows you to set the ratio between the rotation

rates of the last and first gears.

Other Vessels 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).

Collision Alarm: Sets the collision alarm (Setting the Safe-Zone

Collision Alarm, page 10).

AIS-EPIRB Test: Enables test signals from Emergency Position

Indicating Radio Beacons (EPRIB).

AIS-MOB Test: Enables test signals from man overboard (MOB)

devices.

AIS-SART Test: Enables test transmissions from Search and

Rescue Transponders (SART).
