FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
This chapter describes some of the most important functions
of the GEONAV, as well as the terms most commonly used in
this document.
Switching on/Switching off the unit
To switch the GEONAV on, press the
PWR
key. To switch it
off, keep the PWR key pressed for more than 3 seconds.
Welcome page
At start-up, the GEONAV displays a welcome page whose text
(e.g., the boat’s name) can be edited by the Setup menu (see the
Setup Section). To freeze the page displayed, press
ENTER
.
To unfreeze the page and continue with the instrument’s op-
eration, press
ENTER again.
Depth sounder
In place of or in addition to the optional fishfinder unit, the
GEONAV can be interfaced with a depth sounder via NMEA.
If one of these two instruments is connected, the unit will
enable automatically the depth sounder mode, showing a graph
of the seabed or the relevant data in numerical form and the
water temperature.
The depth value can be expressed in meters (default value),
feet or fathoms; to select the unit, press
GOTO
, then choose
SETUP and DEPTH UNITS (M/FT/FA).
Navigation mode (automatic)
At start-up, the GEONAV automatically enables the Navigation
mode, as soon as the GPS transmits a valid fix.
When in Navigation mode:
•
The manual cursor is not displayed
• The depth sounder window can be accessed
This mode is also called automatic because the unit automati-
cally updates the boat’s position on the screen.
