visibility, Galileo data can be used in combination with GPSto provide more accurate position information.Speed Filter: Averages the speed of your vessel over a shortperiod of time for smoother speed values.Source: Allows you to select the preferred source for GPS data.Viewing the Event LogThe event log shows a list of system events.Select Settings > System > System Information > EventLog.Viewing System Software InformationYou can view the software version, the basemap version, allsupplemental map information (if applicable), the softwareversion for an optional Garmin radar (if applicable), and the unitID number. You may need this information to update the systemsoftware or to purchase additional map data information.You can view the software version, the basemap version, allsupplemental map information (if applicable), and the unit IDnumber.

The e-labelmay provide regulatory information, such as identificationnumbers provided by the FCC or regional compliance markings,as well as applicable product and licensing information. Notavailable on all models.1 Select Settings.2 Select System.3 Select Regulatory Information.My Vessel SettingsNOTE: Some settings and options require additional charts orhardware.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 thekeel instead of from the transducer location (Setting the KeelOffset, page 28).Calibrate Water Speed: Calibrates the speed-sensingtransducer or sensor (Calibrating a Water Speed Device,page 36).Fuel Capacity: Sets the combined fuel capacity of all the fueltanks on your vessel (Setting the Fuel Capacity of the Vessel,page 29).Vessel Type: Enables some chartplotter features based on theboat type.Fill Up All Tanks: Sets the tank levels to full (Synchronizing theFuel Data with the Actual Vessel Fuel, page 29).Add Fuel to Boat: Allows you to enter the quantity of fuel youadded to your tank, when you did not entirely fill up the tank(Synchronizing the Fuel Data with the Actual Vessel Fuel,page 29).Set Total Fuel Onboard: Sets the combined amount of fuel inall the fuel tanks on your vesselSynchronizing the Fuel Datawith the Actual Vessel Fuel, page 29.Set Gauge Limits: Sets the upper and lower limits of variousgauges (Customizing Engine Gauge and Fuel Gauge Limits,page 36).Setting the Keel OffsetYou can enter a keel offset to compensate the water depthreading for the transducer installation location. This allows youto view the depth of the water below the keel or the true depth ofthe water, depending on your needs.If you want to know the water depth below the keel or the lowestpoint of your boat and the transducer is installed at the waterline or anywhere above the end of the keel, measure thedistance from the transducer location to the keel of the boat.If you want to know the true water depth and the transducer isinstalled below the water line, measure the distance from thebottom of the transducer up to the water line.NOTE: This option is only available when you have valid depthdata.1 Measure the distance:• If the transducer is installed at the water line oranywhere above the end of the keel, measure thedistance from the transducer location to the keel of theboat. Enter this value as a positive number.• If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keeland you want to know the true depth of the water,measure the distance from the transducer to the waterline. Enter this value in as a negative number.2 Select Settings > My Vessel > Keel Offset.3 Select if the transducer is installed at the water line, orselect if the transducer is installed at the bottom of thekeel.Setting the Water Temperature OffsetBefore you can set the water temperature offset, you must havea NMEA 0183 water-temperature sensor or a temperature-capable transducer to measure water temperature.The temperature offset compensates for the temperaturereading from a temperature sensor.1 Measure the water temperature using the temperature sensoror temperature-capable transducer that is connected to thechartplotter.2 Measure the water temperature using a different temperaturesensor or a thermometer that is known to be accurate.3 Subtract the water temperature measured in step 1 from thewater temperature measured in step 2.This is the temperature offset. Enter this value in step 5 as apositive number if the sensor connected to the chartplottermeasures the water temperature as being colder than itactually is. Enter this value in step 5 as a negative number ifthe sensor connected to the chartplotter measures the watertemperature as being warmer than it actually is.4 Select Settings > My Vessel > Temp. Offset.5 Enter the temperature offset calculated in step 3.Device Configuration 35
