nm database has failed. See an authorized ser-
vice center for repair.
Deep Water AlarmThe current depth is equal
to or more than the set alarm depth.
Degraded AccuracyThe accuracy of your
GPSMAP 185 Sounder system has been degrad-
ed beyond 500 meters due to poor satellite
geometry or data quality. You should check
other navigational sources to verify the position
indicated.
Max Calibration Is 5000mt (16,400 ft)You
have exceeded the maximum possible map cali-
bration.
Memory Battery Power is LowThe internal
battery that stores waypoints, routes and track
plots needs to be replaced. Take your unit to an
authorized GARMIN service center for installa-
tion of a new battery.
Need AltitudeYour GPSMAP 185 Sounder
system needs the altitude to maintain a position
fix due to poor satellite coverage. Enter your
approximate altitude on the initialize position
page.
Need to Select Init MethodThe GPSMAP 185
Sounder needs to be initialized to your present
position. See pages 1-2 for complete instructions
on initialization.
No Differential GPS PositionNot enough data
is being received to compute a DGPS position.
Oscillator Needs AdjustmentThe GPSMAP
185 Sounder has detected excessive drift in its
internal oscillator, which may result in longer
acquisition times. Take the unit to an authorized
GARMIN service center for adjustment.
Poor GPS CoverageThe GPSMAP 185
Sounder cannot acquire the necessary number
of satellites to compute a position.
Power Down and Re-initThe GPSMAP 185
Sounder cannot calculate a position due to
abnormal satellite conditions. Power down and
verify the last position shown by other means.
