Charts and 3D Chart Views 11 Automatic Identification System The Automatic Identification System (AIS) enables you to identify and track other vessels, and alerts you to area traffic. When connected to an external AIS device, the chartplotter can show some AIS information about other vessels that are within range, that are equipped with a transponder, and that are actively transmitting AIS information. The information reported for each vessel includes the Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI), location, GPS speed, GPS heading, time that has elapsed since the last position of the vessel was reported, nearest approach, and time to the nearest approach. Some chartplotter models also support Blue Force Tracking. Vessels being tracked with Blue Force Tracking are indicated on the chartplotter with a blue-green color. AIS Targeting Symbols Symbol Description AIS vessel. The vessel is reporting AIS infor mation. The direction in which the triangle is pointing indicates the direction in which the AIS vessel is moving. Target is selected. Target is activated. The target appears larger on the chart. A green line attached to the target indicates the heading of the target. The MMSI, speed, and direction of the vessel appear beneath the target, if the details setting has been set to Show. If the AIS trans mission from the vessel is lost, a message banner appears. Target is lost. A green X indicates that the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost, and the chartplotter displays a message banner asking whether the vessel should continue to be tracked. If you discontinue vessel tracking, the lost target symbol disappears from the chart or the 3D chart view. Dangerous target in range. The target flashes while an alarm sounds and a message banner appears. After the alarm has been acknowl edged, a solid red triangle with a red line attached to it indicates the location and the heading of the target. If the safe-zone collision alarm has been set to Off, the target flashes, but the audible alarm does not sound and the alarm banner does not appear. If the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost, a message banner appears. Symbol Description Dangerous target is lost. A red X indicates that the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost, and the chartplotter displays a message banner asking whether the vessel should continue to be tracked. If you discontinue vessel tracking, the lost dangerous target symbol disappears from the chart or the 3D chart view. The location of this symbol indicates the closest point of approach to a dangerous target, and the numbers near the symbol indicate the time to the closest point of approach to that target. NOTE: Vessels being tracked with the Blue Force Tracking feature are indicated with a blue-green color regardless of their status. Heading and Projected Course of Activated AIS Targets When heading and course over ground information are provided by an activated AIS target, the heading of the target appears on a chart as a solid line attached to the AIS target symbol. A heading line does not appear on a 3D chart view. The projected course of an activated AIS target appears as a dashed line on a chart or a 3D chart view. The length of the projected course line is based on the value of the projected heading setting. If an activated AIS target is not transmitting speed information, or if the vessel is not moving, a projected course line does not appear. Changes in the speed, course over ground, or rate of turn information transmitted by the vessel can impact the calculation of the projected course line. When course over ground, heading, and rate of turn information are provided by an activated AIS target, the projected course of the target is calculated based on the course over ground and the rate of turn information. The direction in which the target is turning, which is also based on the rate of turn information, is indicated by the direction of the barb at the end of the heading line. The length of the barb does not change. When course over ground and heading information are provided by an activated AIS target, but rate of turn information is not provided, the projected course of the target is calculated based on the course over ground information.

Failure to set audible alarms could lead to injury or property damage. Before you can set a collision alarm, you must connect an AIS device to the same network as a compatible chartplotter. The safe-zone collision alarm is used for AIS vessels. The safe zone is used for collision avoidance and can be customized. 1 Select Settings > Alarms > Collision Alarm > On. A message banner appears and an alarm sounds when an AIS-activated vessel enters the safe-zone area around your boat. The vessel is also labeled as dangerous on the screen. When the alarm is off, the message banner and audible alarm are disabled, but the vessel is still labeled as dangerous on the screen. 2 Select Range, and select a distance for the safe-zone radius around your vessel. 3 Select Time To, and select a time at which the alarm will sound if a target is determined to intersect the safe zone. For example, to be notified of a pending intersection 10 minutes before it will likely occur, set Time To to 10, and the alarm will sound 10 minutes before the vessel intersects the safe zone.

AIS Aids to Navigation An AIS aid to navigation (ATON) is any kind of navigational aid that is transmitted over the AIS radio. ATONs are displayed on the charts and have identifying information, such as position and type. There are three main kinds of AIS ATONs. Real ATONs physically exist and send their identifying and location information from their actual location. Synthetic ATONs physically exist, and their identifying and location information is sent from another location. Virtual ATONs do not actually exist, and their identifying and location information is sent from another location. You can view AIS ATONs on the chart when the chartplotter is connected to a compatible AIS radio. To show AIS ATONs, from a chart, select

When Garmin Quickdraw Contours records data, a colored circle surrounds the vessel icon. This circle represents the approximate area of the map that is scanned by each pass. A green circle indicates good depth and GPS position, and a speed under 16km/h (10mph). A yellow circle indicates good depth and GPS position, and a speed between 16 and 32km/h (10 and 20mph). A red circle indicates poor depth or GPS position, and a speed above 32km/h
(20mph). You can view Garmin Quickdraw Contours in a combination screen or as a single view on the map. The amount of saved data depends on the size of your memory card, your sonar source, and the speed of your boat as you record data. You can record longer when you use a single-beam sonar. It is estimated that you might be able to record about 1,500hours of data onto a 2GB memory card. When you record data on a memory card in your chartplotter, the new data is added to your existing Garmin Quickdraw Contours map, and is saved on the memory card. When you insert a new memory card, the existing data does not transfer onto the new card. Mapping a Body of Water Using the Garmin Quickdraw Contours Feature Before you can use the Garmin Quickdraw Contours feature, you must have sonar depth, your GPS position, and a memory card with free space. 1 From a chart view, select

> Quickdraw Contours > Settings. Garmin Quickdraw Contours Settings From a chart, select Recording Offset: Sets the distance between the sonar depth and the contour recording depth. If the water level has changed since your last recording, adjust this setting so the recording depth is the same for both recordings. For example, if the last time you recorded had a sonar depth of 3.1m (10.5ft.), and today's sonar depth is 3.6m (12ft.), enter -0.5m (-1.5ft.) for the a Recording Offset value. User Display Offset: Sets differences in contour depths and depth labels on your own contours maps to compensate for changes in the water level of a body of water, or for depth errors in recorded maps. Comm. Display Offset: Sets differences in contour depths and depth labels on the community contours maps to compensate for changes in the water level of a body of water, or for depth errors in recorded maps. Survey Coloring: Sets the color of the Garmin Quickdraw Contours display. When this setting is turned on, the colors indicate the quality of the recording. When this setting is turned off, the contour areas use standard map colors. Green indicates good depth and GPS position, and a speed under 16km/h (10mph). Yellow indicates good depth and GPS position, and a speed between 16 and 32km/h (10 and 20mph). Red indicates poor depth or GPS position, and a speed above 32km/h (20mph). Depth Shading: Specifies the minimum and maximum depths of a depth range and a color for that depth range. Navigation with a Chartplotter WARNING All route and navigation lines displayed on the chartplotter are only intended to provide general route guidance or to identify proper channels, and are not intended to be precisely followed. Always defer to the navaids and conditions on the water when navigating to avoid groundings or hazards that could result in vessel damage, personal injury, or death. The Auto Guidance feature is based on electronic chart information. That data does not ensure obstacle and bottom clearance. Carefully compare the course to all visual sightings, and avoid any land, shallow water, or other obstacles that may be in your path. When using Go To, a direct course and a corrected course may pass over land or shallow water. Use visual sightings, and steer to avoid land, shallow water, and other dangerous objects. CAUTION If your vessel has an autopilot system, a dedicated autopilot control display must be installed at each steering helm in order to disable the autopilot system. NOTE: Some chart views are available with premium charts, in some areas. To navigate, you must choose a destination, set a course or create a route, and follow the course or route. You can follow the course or the route on the Navigation chart, Fishing chart, Perspective 3D chart view, or Mariners Eye 3D chart view. You can set and follow a course to a destination using one of three methods: Go To, Route To, or Auto Guidance. Go To: Takes you directly to the destination. This is the standard option for navigating to a destination. The chartplotter creates a straight-line course or navigation line to the destination. The path may run over land and other obstacles. Route To: Creates a route from your location to a destination, allowing you to add turns along the way. This option provides a straight-line course to the destination, but allows you to add turns into the route to avoid land and other obstacles. Auto Guidance: Uses the specified information about your vessel and chart data to determine the best path to your destination. This option is available only when using a compatible premium chart in a compatible chartplotter. It provides a turn-by-turn navigation path to the destination, avoiding land and other obstacles
(Auto Guidance, page24). When you are using a compatible autopilot connected to the chartplotter using NMEA 2000, the autopilot follows the Auto Guidance route. NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some areas. The color of the route line changes depending upon several factors (Route Color Coding, page20).

Auto Guidance Path Configurations CAUTION The Preferred Depth and Vertical Clearance settings influence how the chartplotter calculates an Auto Guidance path. If a section of an Auto Guidance path is shallower than the Preferred Depth or lower than the Vertical Clearance settings, the section of the Auto Guidance path appears as a solid orange line or a red striped line in Garmin Navionics+ and Garmin Navionics Vision+ charts and appears as a magenta and gray striped line in previous versions. When your boat enters one of those areas, a warning message appears (Route Color Coding, page20). NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some areas. NOTE: Not all settings apply to all maps. You can set the parameters the chartplotter uses when calculating an Auto Guidance path. Select Settings > Preferences > Navigation > Auto Guidance. Preferred Depth: Sets the minimum water depth, based on chart depth data, that your boat can safely travel over. NOTE: The minimum water depth for the premium charts (made before 2016) is 3 feet. If you enter a value of less than 3 feet, the charts only use depths of 3 feet for Auto Guidance path calculations. Vertical Clearance: Sets the minimum height of a bridge or obstacle, based on chart data, that your boat can safely travel under. Shoreline Distance: Sets how close to the shore you want the Auto Guidance path to be placed. The path may move if you change this setting while navigating. The available values for this setting are relative, not absolute. To ensure that path is placed the appropriate distance from shore, you can assess the placement of the path using one or more familiar destinations 24 Navigation with a Chartplotter that require navigation through a narrow waterway

Sail Racing You can use the device to increase the likelihood that your boat will cross the start line of a race exactly when the race begins. When you synchronize the race timer with the official race countdown timer, you are alerted at one-minute intervals as the race start approaches. When you combine the race timer with the virtual start line, the device measures your speed, bearing, and remaining time on the countdown timer. The device uses this data to indicate whether your boat will cross the start line before, after, or at the correct time to start the race. Starting Line Guidance Sailing start line guidance is a visual representation of the information you need to cross the start line at the optimal time and speed. After you set the starboard and port start line pins, and the target speed and time, and after you start the race timer, a predictor line appears. The predictor line extends from your current location toward the start line and the laylines that extend from each pin. The end point and color of the predictor line indicate where the boat will be when the timer expires, based on your current boat speed. When the end point is before the start line, the line is white. This indicates the boat must increase speed to reach the start line on time. When the end point is past the start line, the line is red. This indicates the boat must reduce speed to avoid a penalty for reaching the start line before the timer expires. When the end point is on the start line, the line is white. This indicates the boat is moving at an optimal speed to reach the start line when the timer expires. By default, the start line guidance window and the race timer window appear in the Sail Racing combination screen.

Sonar Fishfinder When properly connected to a compatible transducer, your chartplotter can be used as a fishfinder. For more information about which transducer is best for your needs, go to garmin.com/transducers. Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area. The sonar views available vary depending on the type of transducer and sounder module connected to the chartplotter. For example, you can view certain Panoptix sonar screens only if you have a compatible Panoptix transducer connected. There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a full-screen view, a split-screen view that combines two or more views, a split-zoom view, and a split-frequency view that displays two different frequencies. You can customize the settings for each view in the screen. For example, if you are viewing the split-frequency view, you can separately adjust the gain for each frequency. If you do not see an arrangement of sonar views to suit your needs, you can create a custom combination screen
(Creating a New Combination Page, page4). The full-screen Traditional sonar view shows a large image of the sonar readings from a transducer. The range scale along the right side of the screen shows the depth of detected objects as the screen scrolls from the right to the left. Depth information Suspended targets or fish Bottom of the body of water Split-Frequency Sonar View In the split-frequency sonar view, the two sides of the screen show a full-view graph of sonar data of different frequencies. NOTE: The split-frequency sonar view requires the use of a dual-frequency transducer. Split-Zoom Sonar View The split-zoom sonar view shows a full-view graph of sonar readings, and a magnified portion of that graph, on the same screen. Garmin ClearV Sonar View NOTE: To receive Garmin ClearV scanning sonar, you need a compatible transducer. For information about compatible transducers, go to garmin.com/transducers.

This view is used for finding fish. Sonar Fishfinder 33 Depth information Suspended targets or fish Bottom of the body of water Perspective View This sonar view shows a live view of what is around and ahead of your boat and can be used to see shorelines, fish, and structures. This view is best used in shallow water of 50feet (15meters) or less. To see this sonar view, you must install a compatible LiveScope transducer on compatible a perspective mode mount. Color legend Boat Range Bottom Structure Fish FrontV Sonar View The Panoptix FrontV sonar view increases your situational awareness by showing obstructions under the water, up to 91meters (300feet) in front of the boat. The ability to effectively avoid forward collisions with FrontV sonar decreases as your speed rises above 8 knots. To see the FrontV sonar view, you must install and connect a compatible transducer, such as a PS21 transducer. You may need to update the transducer software. Flasher View The flasher shows sonar information on a circular depth scale, indicating what is beneath your boat. It is organized as a ring that starts at the top and progresses clockwise. Depth is indicated by the scale inside the ring. Sonar information flashes on the ring when it is received at the depth indicated. The flasher colors indicate different strengths of the sonar return. The default color scheme follows a traditional sonar color palette, in which yellow indicates the strongest return, orange indicates a strong return, red indicates a weaker return, and blue indicates the weakest return.

Sonar Noise Rejection Settings From a sonar view, select Reject.
> Sonar Setup > Noise Interference: Adjusts the sensitivity to reduce the effects of interference from nearby sources of noise. The lowest interference setting that achieves the desired improvement should be used to remove interference from the screen. Correcting installation issues that cause noise is the best way to eliminate interference. Color Limit: Hides part of the color palette to help eliminate fields of weak clutter. By setting the color limit to the color of the undesired returns, you can eliminate the display of undesired returns on the screen. When smoothing is set to high, more of the low-
level noise remains than when using the interference control, but the noise is more subdued because of averaging. Smoothing can remove speckle from the bottom. Smoothing and interference work well together to eliminate low-level noise. You can adjust the interference and smoothing settings incrementally to remove undesirable noise from the display. Surface Noise: Hides surface noise to help reduce clutter. Wider beam widths (lower frequencies) can show more targets, but can generate more surface noise. TVG: Adjusts the time varying gain, which can reduce noise. This control is best used for situations when you want to control and suppress clutter or noise near the water surface. It also allows for the display of targets near the surface that are otherwise hidden or masked by surface noise. Sonar Appearance Settings From a sonar view, select Appearance.

Advance: Allows the sonar picture to advance faster by drawing more than one column of data on the screen for each column of sounder data received. This is especially helpful when you are using the sounder in deep water, because the sonar signal takes longer to travel to the water bottom and back to the transducer. Sonar Fishfinder 37 The 1/1 setting draws one column of information on the screen per sounder return. The 2/1 setting draws two columns of information on the screen per sounder return, and so on for the 4/1 and 8/1 settings. Overlay Data: Sets the data shown on the sonar screen. Sonar Alarms WARNING The sonar alarms feature is a tool for situational awareness only and may not prevent grounding in all circumstances. It is your obligation to ensure safe operation of the vessel. CAUTION The Beeper setting must be turned on to make alarms audible (Sounds and Display Settings, page64). Failure to set audible alarms could lead to injury or property damage. NOTE: Not all options are available on all transducers. From an applicable sonar view, select Alarms.

Restore Sonar Defaults: Restores the sonar settings to the factory default values. Transducers: Allows you to change the transducer, view details about the transducers, and save details to a memory card. Sonar Frequencies NOTE: The frequencies available depend on the transducers being used. Adjusting the frequency helps adapt the sonar for your particular goals and the present depth of the water. Higher frequencies use narrow beam widths, and are better for high-speed operation and rough sea conditions. Bottom definition and thermocline definition can be better when using a higher frequency. Lower frequencies use wider beam widths, which can let the fisherman see more targets, but could also generate more surface noise and reduce bottom signal continuity during rough sea conditions. Wider beam widths generate larger arches for fish target returns, making them ideal for locating fish. Wider beam widths also perform better in deep water, because the lower frequency has better deep water penetration. CHIRP frequencies allow you to sweep each pulse through a range of frequencies, resulting in better target separation in deep water. CHIRP can be used to distinctly identify targets, like individual fish in a school, and for deep water applications. CHIRP generally performs better than single frequency applications. Because some fish targets may show up better using a fixed frequency, you should consider your goals and water conditions when using CHIRP frequencies. Some transducers also provide the ability to customize preset frequencies for each transducer element, which enables you to change the frequency quickly using the presets as the water and your goals change. Viewing two frequencies concurrently using the split-
frequency view allows you to see deeper with the lower frequency return and, at the same time, see more detail from the higher frequency return. 38 Sonar Fishfinder NOTICE Always be aware of local regulations on sonar frequencies. For example, to protect orca whale pods, you might be prohibited from using frequencies between 50 to 80khz within 1/2 mile of an orca whale pod. It is your responsibility to use the device in compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances. Selecting the Transducer Frequency NOTE: You cannot adjust the frequency for all sonar views and transducers. You can select which frequencies appear on the sonar screen.

If you want to see the highest intensity signal returns on the screen, you can lower the gain to remove lower intensity returns and noise. If you want to see all return information, you can increase the gain to see more information on the screen. This also increases noise, and can make it more difficult to recognize actual returns. Depth Range: Adjusts the range of the depth scale. Allowing the device to adjust the range automatically keeps the bottom within the lower portion of the sonar screen, and can be useful for tracking a bottom that has minimal or moderate terrain changes. Manually adjusting the range enables you to view a specified range, which can be useful for tracking a bottom that has large terrain changes, such as a drop-
offs or cliffs. The bottom can appear on the screen as long as it appears within the range you have set. Forward Range: Adjusts the range of the forward scale. Sonar Fishfinder 39 Allowing the device to adjust the range automatically adjusts the forward scale in relation to the depth. Manually adjusting the range enables you to view a specified range.

Setting the FrontV Depth Alarm WARNING FrontV sonar and the FrontV depth alarm are tools for situational awareness only, and may not prevent groundings in all circumstances. As vessel speeds approach and exceed 8 knots, your ability to effectively respond to the information provided by the sonar and/or alarm decreases. It is your responsibility to remain aware of your surroundings while underway and to operate your vessel in a safe and prudent manner. Failure to do so could result in an accident leading to property damage, personal injury, or death. CAUTION The Beeper setting must be turned on to make alarms audible (Sounds and Display Settings, page64). Failure to set audible alarms could lead to injury or property damage. This alarm is available only with Panoptix FrontV transducers. You can set an alarm to sound when the depth is below a specified level. For best results, you should set the bow offset when using the front collision alarm (Setting the Bow Offset, page41). 1 From the FrontV sonar view, select

Bow Offset: Sets the distance between the bow and the forward view Panoptix transducer installation location. This allows you to view the forward distance from the bow instead of the transducer location. This applies to Panoptix transducers in the FrontV, LiveV Forward, and RealV 3D Forward sonar views. Beam Width: Sets the width of the down view Panoptix transducer beam. Narrow beam widths allow you to see deeper and farther. Wider beam widths allow you to see more coverage area. This applies to Panoptix transducers in the FrontV, LiveV Down, and LiveV Forward sonar views. Use AHRS: Enables the internal attitude heading and reference system (AHRS) sensors to detect the installation angle of the Panoptix transducer automatically. When this setting is turned off, you can enter the specific installation angle for the transducer using the Pitch Angle setting. Many forward view transducers are installed at a 45-degree angle and down view transducers are installed at a zero-degree angle. Flipped: Sets the orientation of the Panoptix sonar view when the down view transducer is installed with the cables pointing toward the port side of the boat. This applies to Panoptix transducers in the LiveV Down, RealV 3D Down, and RealV 3D Historical sonar views. Calibrate Compass: Calibrates the internal compass in the Panoptix transducer (Calibrating the Compass, page41). This applies to Panoptix transducers with an internal compass, such as the PS21-TR transducer. Orientation: Controls if the transducer is in down or forward installation mode. The Auto setting uses the AHRS sensor to determine the orientation. 2 From an applicable sonar view, select Setup > Installation > Bow Offset.
> Sonar 3 Enter the distance measured, and select Done. On the applicable sonar view, the forward range shifts by the distance you entered. Calibrating the Compass Before you can calibrate the compass, the transducer must be installed far enough away from the trolling motor to avoid magnetic interference, and deployed in the water. Calibration must be of sufficient quality to enable the internal compass. NOTE: The compass may not work if you mount the transducer on the motor. NOTE: For best results, you should use a heading sensor such as the SteadyCast heading sensor. The heading sensor shows the direction the transducer is pointing relative to the boat. NOTE: Compass calibration is available only for transducers with an internal compass, such as the PS21-
TR transducer. You can begin turning your boat before calibrating, but you must fully rotate your boat 1.5 times during calibration. 1 From an applicable sonar view, select

Autopilot WARNING You can use the autopilot feature only at a station installed next to a helm, throttle, and helm control device. You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. The autopilot is a tool that enhances your capability to operate your boat. It does not relieve you of the responsibility of safely operating your boat. Avoid navigational hazards and never leave the helm unattended. Always be prepared to promptly regain manual control of your boat. Learn to operate the autopilot on calm and hazard-free open water. Use caution when operating the autopilot near hazards in the water, such as docks, pilings, and other boats. The autopilot system continuously adjusts the steering of your boat to maintain a constant heading (heading hold). The system also allows manual steering and several modes of automatic-steering functions and patterns. When the chartplotter is connected to a compatible Garmin autopilot system, you can engage and control the autopilot from the chartplotter. For information about compatible Garmin autopilot systems, go to garmin.com. When the chartplotter is connected to a compatible Yamaha autopilot system, you can control the autopilot from the chartplotter using the Yamaha autopilot screen and overlay bar (Yamaha Autopilot, page46). For information about compatible Yamaha autopilot systems, contact your Yamaha dealer. Autopilot Configuration NOTICE To avoid damage to your boat, the autopilot system should be installed and configured by a qualified marine installer. Specific knowledge of marine steering and electrical systems is required for proper installation and configuration. The autopilot system must be configured to work properly with your boat. You can configure the autopilot using a chartplotter on the same NMEA 2000 network as the autopilot. For configuration instructions, go to support.garmin.com, and download the configuration guide for your specific autopilot model. Selecting the Preferred Heading Source NOTICE For best results, use the autopilot CCU internal compass for the heading source. Using a third-party GPS compass can cause the data to be delivered erratically and may result in excessive delays. The autopilot needs timely information, and therefore cannot often use third-party GPS compass data for GPS location or speed. If a third-
party GPS compass is used, the autopilot will likely report loss of navigation data and speed source periodically. If you have more than one heading source on the network, you can select a your preferred source. The source could be a compatible GPS compass or a magnetic heading sensor. 1 From the autopilot screen, select
> Autopilot Setup

Troubleshooting My device will not acquire GPS signals If the device is not acquiring satellite signals, there could be a few causes. If the device has moved a large distance since the last time it has acquired satellites or has been turned off for longer than a few weeks or months, the device may not be able to acquire the satellites correctly. Ensure the device is using the latest software. If not, update the device software (Software Updates, page73). Make sure the device has a clear view of the sky so the antenna can receive the GPS signal. If it is mounted inside of a cabin, it should be close to a window so it can receive the GPS signal. The fuse should be located in a holder that is part of the red wire of the power cable. Check that the proper size fuse is installed. Refer to the label on the cable or the installation instructions for the exact fuse size needed. Check the fuse to make sure there is still a connection inside of the fuse. You can test the fuse using a multimeter. If the fuse is good, the multimeter reads 0ohm. Check to make sure the device is receiving at least 12Vdc. To check the voltage, measure the female power and ground sockets of the power cable for DC voltage. If the voltage is less than 12Vdc, the device will not turn on. If the device is receiving enough power but does not turn on, contact Garmin product support. My device is not creating waypoints in the correct location You can manually enter a waypoint location to transfer and share data from one device to the next. If you have manually entered a waypoint using coordinates, and the location of the point does not appear where the point should be, the map datum and position format of the device may not match the map datum and position format originally used to mark the waypoint. Position format is the way in which the GPS receiver's position appears on the screen. This is commonly displayed as latitude/longitude in degrees and minutes, with options for degrees, minutes and second, degrees only, or one of several grid formats. Map datum is a math model which depicts a part of the surface of the earth. Latitude and longitude lines on a paper map are referenced to a specific map datum. 1 Find out which map datum and position format was used when the original waypoint was created. If the original waypoint was taken from a map, there should be a legend on the map that lists the map datum and position format used to create that map. Most often this is found near the map key. 2 Select Settings > Preferences > Units. 3 Select the correct map datum and position format settings. 4 Create the waypoint again. 74 Appendix Contacting Garmin Support Go to support.garmin.com for help and information, such as product manuals, frequently asked questions, videos, and customer support.

Timco Engineering Inc. 849 NW State Road 45 Newberry, FL 32669 Re: Confidentiality for submittal information regarding FCC ID: IPH-04396 Product: Transmitter operated under 47CFR Section 15C Dear Sirs:
Garmin International, Inc. requests that the material in the Block Diagram, Operational Description, Schematics, and Tune up Procedure be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commissions Rules following grant of the application. In support of this request, Garmin International, Inc. submits the following information. CONFIDENTIAL FILES A04306 Conf BlkDia.pdf A04396 Conf Schem.pdf A04396 Conf OpDes.pdf 1. Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is sought:
The materials set forth in the Block Diagram, Operational Description, and Schematics which are segregated, from the non-confidential exhibits of the application, are those for which confidentiality is sought. 2. Identification of the Commission proceeding in which the information was submitted or a description of the circumstances giving rise to the submission:
The proceeding is that involving the application for equipment authorization (certification) under FCC ID: IPH-04396 3. Explanation of the degree to which the information is commercial or financial, or contains a trade secret or is privileged:
This material includes a detailed Block Diagram, Operational Description, Schematics, and Tune up Procedure. As such, this material is treated as highly confidential business information. 4. Explanation of the degree to which the information concerns a service that is subject to competition:
The material for which confidentiality is sought is employed in the design and manufacture of this transmitting equipment that is offered on a highly competitive basis. Customers for this equipment have a variety of competing sources. 5. Explanation of how disclosure of the information could result in substantial competitive harm:
Disclosure would, in effect, give away the fruits of the labors of Garmin International, Inc.s engineering personnel, who have designed the equipment and the manufacturing process. Disclosure would also offer competitors additional unwarranted insight into the state of the product development, thereby allowing competitors an advantage, not available to Garmin International, Inc. 6. Identification of any measures taken by the submitting party to prevent unauthorized disclosure:
The information for which confidential treatment is sought is kept confidential by Garmin International, Inc. and not made available to third parties except pursuant to non-disclosure agreements. 7. Identification of whether the information is available to the public and the extent of any previous disclosure of the information to third parties:
To the knowledge of those preparing this application, the information has not been disclosed publicly heretofore. While the general theory of operation of this equipment has been the subject of numerous disclosures in industry the protection sought is narrowly drawn as provided in regulations. 8. Justification of the period during which the submitting party asserts that the material should not be available for public disclosure:
This material should not be disclosed for at least 25 years. While improvements in design are made relatively frequently, disclosure of the design information would lead to insights into both design and manufacturing techniques that could have an adverse competitive effect for many years to come. As such, it is important that the design not be made available to unauthorized persons who might attempt to use knowledge of the design to compromise the applications for which the equipment will be employed. Should you require any further information, please contact the undersigned. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Jeffrey C Hailey Compliance Engineer Garmin International
