How GPS Works
Your Fishing System uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and
provide detailed underwater information. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite
navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was
originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly
accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This
means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual
position. Some GPS Receivers also use information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation
System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the
MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area.
GPS uses a constellation of satellites that continually send
radio signals to the earth. Your present position is
determined by receiving signals from satellites and
measuring the distance from the satellites.
All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal once per
second at exactly the same time. The GPS receiver on your
boat receives signals from satellites that are visible to it.
Based on time differences between each received signal, the
GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite. With
distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically
triangulates its own position. With once per second updates,
the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing.
The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the Fishing System when it is
connected to a GPS receiver:
• View current position
• View current track (breadcrumb trail)
• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver
• Save tracks and waypoints
• Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next.

Direct-connect Cable Installation (AS HHGAR082, AS HHMAG344)
Use the following instructions to direct-connect your Handheld GPS Receiver to your
Fishing System.
1. Insert the Handheld GPS Cable’s
NMEA-COM connector into the
appropriate terminal slot on the back
of your Fishing System control head.
The slots are keyed to prevent reverse
installation, so be careful not to force
the connector into the holder.
NOTE: If the terminal slot is already used by
another accessory, you will need to replace
it with the included Y-cable. After you’ve
inserted the Y-cable’s COM-connector into
the appropriate terminal slot on the back of
your Fishing System control head, connect
the Handheld GPS Cable to the NMEA-COM
connector, and attach your accessory cable
to the ACCY-COM connector.
2. Connect the Handheld GPS Cable to
your Handheld GPS Receiver. Refer
to your Handheld GPS Receiver
manufacturer’s user manual for
instructions.

3. Your NMEA Cable allows you to connect your Handheld GPS Receiver to an external
12 VDC power supply. If you choose to run your Handheld GPS Receiver from an
external 12 VDC power supply, connect the black wire to ground (-) and the red wire
to positive (+) 12 VDC power.
CAUTION: Use caution before connecting the red +12V wire to your Handheld GPS Receiver, and
consult your Handheld GPS Receiver manufacturer’s user manual before connecting power and
ground. Some Handheld GPS Receivers have a different voltage input than 12V.
4. Power up the Fishing System Control Head (see your Fishing System Operations
Manual for details).
NOTE: The Fishing System accepts NMEA 0183 version 2.20 input at 4800 baud and listens for the
NMEA sentences RMC and GGA to determine current position, heading, speed, time and date. In
addition, the GSA and GSV sentences are used to monitor GPS satellite location and usage.
5. If the NMEA output of your Handheld GPS Receiver can be configured, confirm the
following settings on your GPS Handheld Receiver:
• NMEA Output = enabled
• Baud rate = 4800
• RMS and GGA sentences = enabled
NOTE: See your the Handheld GPS Receiver manufacturer’s user manual for NMEA output information.
NOTE: When the Fishing System detects the NMEA-input from the Handheld GPS Receiver,
the Combo, Track and Bird’s Eye Views will be added automatically to the VIEW key function.
A Navigation Menu tab and the Navigation X-PressTM Menu will also be added automatically
to the menu system.
Bare Wire Cable Installation (AS-HHGPS)
Use the following instructions to connect your Handheld GPS to your fishing system using the
AS-HHGPS. You will need to purchase the NMEA data cable (not included) from the
manufacturer of your Handheld GPS Receiver.
1. Insert the Handheld GPS Cable’s NMEA-COM connector into the appropriate terminal

Introduction to Navigation
Use your Fishing System to establish waypoints at areas of interest and navigate to those
waypoints via a route (representing the shortest intended distance between waypoints). You
can also view and save tracks, which represent the actual path of the boat.
Waypoints, Routes and Tracks
Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points.

Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and are used in trip
planning. A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each
waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route line is the most efficient way
to get to your destination, although you should always look out for obstacles not shown on the
fishing system view.
Tracks consist of detailed position history, and are displayed as a breadcrumb trail of trackpoints.
The Current Track shows the position history since the unit was powered up. You can clear the
Current Track or save it at any time. The current track represents your actual path so far.

Simulator
Use the Simulator to learn how to use your Fishing
System before taking your boat on the water. The
Simulator is a very powerful tool that simulates on the
water operation, providing a randomly-updated display.
We recommend going through this manual while using
the Simulator, since all of the menus function and affect
the display the way they actually do when in Normal
operation.
Simulator
NOTE: To get the full benefit of the Simulator, it is important to select Simulator manually from the
Start-Up Options menu as opposed to letting the Fishing System enter Simulator automatically (as it
will if a transducer is not connected and you do nothing during power up). Manually selecting
Simulator from the Start-Up Options menu allows you to pre-configure your Fishing System for on the
water operation. Any menu changes you make will be saved for later use.
A message will appear on the display periodically to remind you that you are using the Simulator.
Exit the Simulator by powering your Fishing System off.

Troubleshooting
Before contacting the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center, please read the following
section. Taking the time to review these troubleshooting guidelines may allow you to solve a
performance problem yourself, and therefore avoid sending your unit back for repair.
Fishing System Doesn’t Power Up
If your Fishing System doesn’t power up, use the Installation Guide that also comes with it for
specific confirmation details, making sure that:
• the power cable is properly connected to the Fishing System control head,
• the power cable is wired correctly, with red to positive battery terminal and black to
negative terminal or ground
• the fuse is operational
• the battery voltage of the power connector is at least 10 Volts
Correct any known problems, including removing corrosion from the battery terminals or wiring,
or actually replacing the battery if necessary.
Fishing System Defaults to Simulator with a Transducer Attached
A connected and functioning transducer will cause the newly-started Fishing System to go into
Normal operating mode automatically. If, when you power up the Fishing System, it goes into
Simulator mode automatically, even though a transducer is already connected, this means that
the control head is not detecting the transducer. Perform the following troubleshooting tasks:
• Using the Installation Guide that also comes with your Fishing System, check to make
sure that the transducer cable is securely connected to the Fishing System. Reconnect
if necessary, and power up the Fishing System again to see if this fixes the problem.
• Replace the non-functioning transducer with a known good transducer if available and
power up the control head again.
• Check the transducer cable. Replace the transducer if the cable is damaged or corroded.

Display Problems
There are several main conditions or sources of possible interference that may cause problems
with the quality of the information displayed on the control head. Look in the following table for
some symptoms of display problems and possible solutions:
Problem
Possible Cause
The control head loses power at
high speeds.
If the power output of your boat’s engine is
unregulated, the control head may be protecting itself
using its over-voltage protection feature. Make sure
the input voltage does not exceed 20 Volts.
When the boat moves at higher
speeds, the bottom disappears
or suddenly weakens, or the
display contains gaps.
The transducer position may need to be adjusted. A
mix of air and water flowing around the transducer
(cavitation) may be interfering with the interpretation
of sonar data. See your Installation Guide for
suggestions on adjusting the transducer position.
Electrical noise from the boat’s engine may be
interfering with sonar reception. See Finding the
Cause of Noise for more information.
There are no fish detected, even
when you know they are in the
water under the boat, or sonar
readings seem weak or faulty.
Sonar readings may be affected if the transducer is
not positioned correctly (i.e. mounted at an angle, not
straight down), or there is some kind of mechanical
interference, either because it is mounted inside a hull
that is too thick for proper sonar transmission, the
bond between the transducer and the hull is not
airtight, or because the transducer is dirty. Check with
your Installation Guide for guidance on re-positioning
the transducer, and make sure the transducer is clean.
Low battery voltage may be affecting the power of
signal transmission.
Electrical noise from the boat’s engine may be
interfering with sonar reception. See Finding the
Cause of Noise for more information.

Finding the Cause of Noise
Electrical noise usually affects the display with many black dots at high speeds, and high
sensitivity readings. One or more of the following sources can cause noise or interference:
Possible Source of Noise
Other electronic devices
Isolation
Turn off any nearby electronic devices to see if the
problem goes away, then turn them on one at a time to
see if the noise re-appears.
The boat’s engine
To determine whether the boat’s engine is the source
of the noise, increase the RPMs while the boat is in
neutral and stationary to see if the noise increases
proportionately; if noise appears when you rev the
engine, the problem could be the spark plugs,
alternator, or tachometer wiring. Replace the spark
plugs with resistor plugs, install an alternator filter, or
route the control head power and transducer cables
away from the engine wiring.
Cavitation from the boat’s
propeller
Turbulence created by the propeller can cause noise;
make sure the transducer is mounted at least 15”
(38 cm) from the propeller, and that the water flows
smoothly over the face of the transducer at all times.
