Stations and Station Layouts When multiple displays are installed on the Garmin® Marine Network, you can group them together into a station. A station enables the displays to work together, rather than as several separate displays. When you select Home on one display, each display in the station returns to the Home screen. With the SmartMode™ feature, when a button is selected from the Home screen, each display in the station can show unique information. For example, when Cruising is selected from the Home screen, one display can show the Navigation chart and another display can show the Radar screen. You can customize the layout of the pages on each display, making each page different on each display. When you change the layout of a page in one display, the changes appear only on that display. When you change the name and symbol of the layout, those changes appear on all displays in the station, to maintain a consistent appearance. Customizing the Home Screen You can add items to and remove items from the Home screen. Any customization made to one Home screen in the station appears on all displays in the station. 1 From the Home screen, select Menu. 2 Select an option: • To add an item to the Home screen, select Add Layout, and select the item to add. • To remove an item, select Delete Layout, and select the item to remove. Customizing the Layout of a Page When you are using a multi-display station and you change the layout of a page in the display you are interacting with, the changes appear only on that display, except for the name and symbol.
