GPSMAP 2106/2110 Owner’s Manual 87APPENDIX > C ARING FOR THE GPSMAP 2106/2110the GPSMAP 2106/2110 unit does not rely on the LORAN signal for navigation,it can reference a different GRI chain or secondary stations and still navigate tothe location stored in memory. The LORAN Position Format field is located onthe Units sub tab on the Main Menu—System tab. The Loran TD Setup windowcontains the fields to select the LORAN Chain Number, Primary and SecondaryStations, and TD Offsets.To set up LORAN TD from the Main Menu:1. Using the ROCKER, highlight the System tab, press right on theROCKER to highlight the Units sub tab. Highlight the Position Formatfield, and press ENTER.2. Highlight Loran TD, and press ENTER, and then highlight the Setupbutton to the right, and press ENTER again.3. To change the settings of any of the five fields, highlight the field, pressENTER, select the setting you want, and press ENTER again.If the active GRI Chain, secondary stations, or offsets were changed since thewaypoint was created, the waypoint now references the active GRI-chain andsecondary stations and adjusts the TD coordinates accordingly. Remember thatthe GPS is not relying on the LORAN signal for navigation and actually convertsthe TD coordinate to a useful latitude/longitude coordinate before storing thewaypoint to memory or using it for navigation. Because of this, the unit cannavigate to a TD coordinate anywhere in the world.For more information on LORAN TDs, you can download Garmin’s Loran TDPosition Format Handbook from the Garmin Web site.Caring for the GPSMAP 2106/2110The GPSMAP 2106/2110 case is constructed of high-quality materials and doesnot require user maintenance except cleaning.Cleaning the CaseClean the unit’s outer casing (except for the screen) using a cloth dampened witha mild detergent solution.
