Calibrate Compass: Calibrates the compass (Calibrating the Compass, page 9). Altimeter Settings Select Setup > Altimeter. Auto Calibration: Automatically calibrates the altimeter each time the device is turned on. Barometer Mode: Sets how the device measures barometric information. Variable Elevation allows the barometer to measure changes in elevation while you are moving. Fixed Elevation assumes the device is stationary at a fixed elevation, so the barometric pressure should change only due to weather. Pressure Trending: Sets how the device records pressure data. Save Always records all pressure data, which can be helpful when you are watching for pressure fronts. Plot Type: Sets the type of data recorded and displayed in the plot. Records elevation changes over a period of time or distance, records barometric pressure over a period of time, or records ambient pressure changes over a period of time. Calibrate Altimeter: Calibrates the altimeter. Marine Map Settings Select Setup > Marine. Marine Chart Mode: Sets the type of chart the device uses. Nautical displays various map features in different colors so the marine POIs are more readable and so the map reflects the drawing scheme of paper charts. Fishing (requires marine maps) displays a detailed view of bottom contours and depth soundings and simplifies map presentation for optimal use while fishing. Appearance: Sets the appearance of marine navigation aids on the map. Marine Alarm Setup: Sets alarms for when you exceed a specified drift distance while anchored, when you are off course by a specified distance, and when you enter water of a specific depth.
