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.
Viewing Aerial Photos of Landmarks
Before you can view aerial photos on the Navigation chart, you
must turn on the Photo setting in the chart setup.
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: This feature is available with premium charts, in some

NOTE: Vessels being tracked with the Blue Force Tracking
feature are indicated with a blue-green color regardless of their
status.
You can use aerial photographs of landmarks, marinas, and
harbors to help orient yourself to your surroundings or to
acquaint yourself with a marina or a harbor prior to arrival.
Heading and Projected Course of Activated AIS

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.
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.
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.
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.

Sonar
When properly connected to an optional Garmin sounder
module and a transducer, your compatible chartplotter can be
used as a fishfinder. There are different sonar views to help you
view the fish in the area.
The adjustments you can make to each sonar view vary
depending on the view you are in and the chartplotter model,
sounder module, and transducer you have connected.
Sonar Views
The sonar views available vary depending on the type of
transducer and optional sounder module connected to the
chartplotter. For example, you can view the Split Frequency
view only if you have a dual-frequency transducer connected.

information, you can increase the gain or brightness to see
more information on the screen. This also increases noise, and
can make it more difficult to recognize actual returns.
Sonar Sharing
This feature may not be available on all chartplotter models.
You can view the sonar data from other chartplotters with built-
in sonar module connected on the Garmin Marine Network.
Each chartplotter on the network can display sonar data from
every compatible sonar module and transducer on the network,
no matter where the chartplotters and transducers are mounted
on your boat. For example, from the GPSMAP 1020xs mounted
at the back of the boat, you can view the sonar data from an
echoMAP™ 70dv mounted at the front of your boat.

Chartplotters can only display sonar types they are compatible
with. For example, the echoMAP 50dv and GPSMAP 547 can
display traditional and DownVü data, but not SideVü data.
•
To allow the chartplotter to adjust the gain or brightness
automatically, select an automatic option.
When sharing sonar data, the values of some sonar settings,
such as Range and Gain are synchronized across the devices
on the network. The values of other sonar settings, such as the
Appearance settings, are not synchronized and should be
configured on each individual device. In addition, the scroll rates
of the various traditional and DownVü sonar views are
synchronized to make the split views more cohesive.
Adjusting the Color Intensity
You can adjust the intensity of colors and highlight areas of
interest on the sonar screen by adjusting the color gain for
traditional transducers or the contrast for DownVü and SideVü/
DownVü transducers. This setting works best after you have
adjusted the level of detail shown on the screen using the gain
or brightness settings.
NOTE: Using multiple transducers simultaneously can create
cross talk, which can be removed by adjusting the Interference
sonar setting.
If you want to highlight smaller fish targets or create a higher
intensity display of a target, you can increase the color gain or
contrast setting. This causes a loss in the differentiation of the
high intensity returns at the bottom. If you want to reduce the
intensity of the return, you can reduce the color gain or contrast.

sounder modules, and transducer being used.
Adjusting the Range of the Depth or Width
Scale
Adjusting the frequency helps adapt the sonar for your particular
goals and the present depth of the water.
You can adjust the range of the depth scale traditional and
DownVü sonar views and the range of the width scale for the
SideVü sonar view.
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.
Allowing the device to adjust the range automatically keeps the
bottom within the lower or outer third of the sonar screen, and
can be useful for tracking a bottom that has minimal or
moderate terrain changes.
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.
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.
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.

The range of the radar signal indicates the length of the pulsed
signal transmitted and received by the radar. As the range
increases, the radar transmits longer pulses in order to reach
distant targets. Closer targets, especially rain and waves, also
reflect the longer pulses, which can add noise to the Radar
screen. Viewing information about longer-range targets can also

Radar overlay based on the most recently used radar mode
(such as Harbor, Offshore, or Sentry), and all settings
configurations applied to the Radar overlay are also applied to
the last-used radar mode. For example, if you use Harbor mode
and then you switch to the Radar overlay, the Radar overlay
would show Harbor mode radar data. If you changed the gain
setting using the Radar overlay menu, the gain setting for
Harbor mode would change automatically.

Adjusting Gain on the Radar Screen Manually
For optimal radar performance, you can manually adjust the

Radar Overlay and Chart Data Alignment
When using the Radar overlay, the chartplotter aligns radar data
with chart data based on the boat heading, which is based by
default on data from a magnetic heading sensor connected
using a NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 network. If a heading
sensor is not available, the boat heading is based on GPS
tracking data.
NOTE: Depending upon the radar in use, the gain setting
configured for use in one radar mode may or may not be
applied to other radar modes or to the Radar overlay.
From a Radar screen or the Radar overlay, select MENU >
Gain.
1
GPS tracking data indicates the direction in which the boat is
moving, not the direction in which the boat is pointing. If the
boat is drifting backward or sideways due to a current or wind,
the Radar overlay may not perfectly align with the chart data.
This situation should be avoided by using boat-heading data
from an electronic compass.
Select Up to raise the gain, until light speckles appear across
the Radar screen.
2
Data on the Radar screen is refreshed every few seconds.
As a result, the effects of manually adjusting the gain may
not appear instantly. Adjust the gain slowly.
If the boat heading is based on data from a magnetic heading
sensor or an automatic pilot, the heading data could be
compromised due to incorrect setup, mechanical malfunction,
magnetic interference, or other factors. If the heading data is
compromised, the Radar overlay may not align perfectly with
the chart data.
Select Down to lower the gain until the speckles disappear.

Auto Guidance Line Configurations
CAUTION
The Safe Depth and Safe Height settings influence how the
chartplotter calculates an Auto Guidance line. If an area has an
unknown water depth or an unknown obstacle height, the Auto
Guidance line is not calculated in that area. If an area at the
beginning or the end of an Auto Guidance line is shallower than
the safe water depth or lower than the safe obstacle height, the
Auto Guidance line is not calculated in that area. On the chart,
the course through those areas appears as a gray line. When
your boat enters one of those areas, a warning message
appears.
•
If the Auto Guidance line is too close to known obstacles,
select Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance >
Shoreline Distance > Far.
•
If the turns in the Auto Guidance line are too wide, select
Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline
Distance > Near.
If you selected Near or Far in step 6, review the placement
of the Auto Guidance line, and determine whether the line
safely avoids known obstacles and the turns enable efficient
travel.

Auto Guidance maintains a wide clearance from obstacles in
open water, even if you set the Shoreline Distance setting to
Near or Nearest. As a result, the chartplotter may not

Cleaners containing ammonia will harm the anti-reflective
coating.
Devices erratically turning off or not turning on could indicate an
issue with the power supplied to the device. Check these items
to attempt to troubleshoot the cause of the power issue.
The device is coated with a special anti-reflective coating which
is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners.

My device will not acquire GPS signals
If the device is not acquiring satellite signals, there could be 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.
