GPS Satellite Signals
When you turn on the chartplotter, the GPS receiver must
collect satellite data and establish the current location. When
the chartplotter acquires satellite signals,
appears at the top
of the Home screen. When the chartplotter loses satellite
signals,
disappears and a flashing question mark appears
over on the chart.

Stations and Home Screens
When multiple displays are installed on the Garmin Marine
Network, you can group them together into a station. A station
enables the displays to work together, instead of as several
separate displays.
When you select
Home
on one display, each display in the
station returns to the Home screen.
There are two types of home screens. You can move between
the two home screens by selecting the arrows. One home
screen contains menu items for this display only. The other
home screen contains SmartMode™ menu items, which are
geared toward an activity, such as cruising or docking.
With the SmartMode feature, when a button is selected from the
Home screen, each display in the station can show unique
information. For example, when
Cruising
is selected from the
Home screen, one display can show the Navigation chart and
another display can show the Radar screen.
You can customize the layout of the pages on each display,
making each page different on each display. When you change
the layout of a page in one display, the changes appear only on
that display. When you change the name and symbol of the
layout, those changes appear on all displays in the station, to
maintain a consistent appearance.
Customizing the Home Screen
You can add items to and remove items from the Home screen.
Any customization made to one Home screen in the station
appears on all displays in the station.
