Waypoint IDs: Sets the device to transmit waypoint names or numbers via NMEA 0183 while navigating. Using numbers may resolve compatibility issues with older NMEA 0183 autopilots. Defaults: Restores the NMEA 0183 settings to the original factory defaults. Diagnostics: Displays NMEA 0183 diagnostic information. Configuring NMEA 0183 Output Sentences You can enable and disable NMEA 0183 output sentences. 1 Select Settings > Communications > NMEA 0183 Setup > Output Sentences. 2 Select an option. 3 Select one or more NMEA 0183 output sentences, and select Back. 4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 to enable or disable additional output sentences. Setting the Communication Format for Each NMEA 0183 Port You can configure the communication format for each internal NMEA 0183 port when connecting your chartplotter to external NMEA 0183 devices, a computer, or other Garmin devices. 1 Select Settings > Communications > NMEA 0183 Setup > Port Type. 2 Select an input or output port. 3 Select a format: • To support the input or output of standard NMEA 0183 data, DSC, and sonar NMEA input support for the DPT, MTW, and VHW sentences, select NMEA Std. . • To support the input or output of standard NMEA 0183 data for most AIS receivers, select NMEA High Speed. • To support the input or output of Garmin proprietary data for interfacing with Garmin software, select Garmin. 4 Repeat steps 2-3 to configure additional input or output ports. NMEA 2000 Settings Select Settings > Communications > NMEA 2000. Device List: Displays the devices connected to the network. Label Devices: Changes the labels for available connected devices. Garmin Marine Network The Garmin Marine Network allows you to share data from Garmin peripheral devices with Garmin chartplotters quickly and easily. You can connect a chartplotter to a Garmin Marine Network to receive data from and share data with other Marine Network-compatible devices and chartplotters. Setting Alarms Navigation Alarms Select Settings > Alarms > Navigation. Arrival: Sets an alarm to sound when you are within a specified distance or time from a turn or a destination. Anchor Drag: Sets an alarm to sound when you exceed a specified drift distance while anchored. Off Course: Sets an alarm to sound when you are off course by a specified distance. System Alarms Alarm Clock: Sets an alarm clock. Device Voltage: Sets an alarm to sound when the battery reaches a specified low voltage. GPS Accuracy: Sets an alarm to sound when the GPS location accuracy falls outside the user-defined value. Setting the Fuel Alarm Before you can set a fuel level alarm, a compatible fuel flow sensor must be connected to the NMEA 2000 network. You can set an alarm to sound when the total amount of remaining onboard fuel reaches the level you specify. 1 Select Settings > Alarms > Fuel > Fuel Alarm > On. 2 Enter the remaining amount of fuel that triggers the alarm. Setting Weather Alarms Before you can set weather alarms, you must have a compatible chartplotter connected to a weather device, such as a GXM™ device, and have a valid weather subscription. 1 Select Settings > Alarms > Weather. 2 Turn on alarms for specific weather events. My Vessel Settings NOTE: Some settings and options require additional charts or hardware. Select Settings > My Vessel. Keel Offset: Offsets the surface reading for the depth of a keel, making it possible to measure depth from the bottom of the keel instead of from the transducer location (page 24). Temperature Offset: Compensates for the water temperature reading from a NMEA 0183 water-temperature sensor or a temperature-capable transducer (page 25). Calibrate Water Speed: Calibrates the speed-sensing transducer or sensor (page 25). Fuel Capacity: Sets the combined fuel capacity of all the fuel tanks on your vessel (page 17). Fill Up All Tanks: Sets the tank levels to full (page 17). Add Fuel to Boat: Allows you to enter the quantity of fuel you added to your tank, when you did not entirely fill up the tank (page 17). Set Total Fuel Onboard: Sets the combined amount of fuel in all the fuel tanks on your vessel (page 17). Set Gauge Limits: Sets the upper and lower limits of various gauges (page 17). Setting the Keel Offset You can enter a keel offset to compensate the surface reading for the depth of a keel, making it possible to measure depth from the bottom of the keel instead of from the transducer location. Enter a positive number to offset for a keel. You can enter a negative number to compensate for a large vessel that may draw several feet of water. 1 Complete an action, based on the location of the transducer: • If the transducer is installed at the water line À, measure the distance from the transducer location to the keel of the boat. Enter this value in step 3 and 4 as a positive number. • If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel Á, measure the distance from the transducer to the water line. Enter this value in step 3 and 4 as a negative number. 24 Device Configuration
