the deViCe
Map Datum—set the coordinate system in which the map is structured. The default setting is WGS
84. Do not change the map datum unless you are using a map or chart that species a different
position format.
Time
—set the time options.
Time Format
—select 12-hour, 24-hour, or UTC time format.
Time Zone
—set the time zone displayed for time readings.
Daylight Saving Time
—select Off, On, or Auto. The Auto setting automatically turns daylight
saving time on or off, depending on the time of year.
Conguring Communications Settings
From the Home screen, touch Congure > Communications.
NMEA 0183 Setup
—enable or disable NMEA 0183 output sentences for sounder, route, system,
and Garmin NMEA settings.
Port Types
—congure the input/output format for each port to use when connecting your
chartplotter to external NMEA devices, a computer, or other Garmin devices. NMEA Std.
supports the input or output of standard NMEA 0183 data, DSC, and sonar NMEA input support
for the DPT, MTW, and VHW sentences. NMEA High Speed supports the input or output of
standard 0183 data for most AIS receivers. The Garmin option supports the input or output of
Garmin-proprietary data for interfacing with Garmin software.
Output Sentences
—congure how the chartplotter sees NMEA 0183 output sentences. See
page 69 for information on conguring these sentences.
Posn. Precision—adjust the number of digits (Two Digits, Three Digits, or Four Digits) to the
right of the decimal point for transmission of NMEA output.
Waypoint IDs
—determine how the chartplotter outputs waypoint identiers (Names or
Numbers).
Defaults—reset NMEA 0183 settings to their default settings.
Diagnostics—a tool used by installers to verify that NMEA 0183 data is being sent across the
system.
NMEA 2000 Setup
—View and congure the devices connected to the NMEA 2000 network and set
bridging to On, Off, or Auto.
Device List—lists the NMEA 2000 devices on your network. If a NMEA 2000 device has
conguration options or settings, select the device for a list of options.
Output Bridging
—Output bridging occurs when a chartplotter takes NMEA 0183 data it
receives from any source, formats it into NMEA 2000 data, and then sends it over the NMEA
2000 bus. Touch On or Off to enable or disable this function for the chartplotter. Touch Auto
to allow the chartplotters on the network to negotiate with each other to determine which
chartplotter will perform this function. Only one chartplotter on the network will bridge NMEA
0183 data over the NMEA 2000 bus at a time.
Marine Network—Review all connected Garmin Marine Network devices (page 43).
Wireless Devices—Allow wireless devices, such as a remote control or optical mouse to
communicate with the chartplotter.
Preferred Sources—Assign a preferred device when more than one source is available for the same
function.
