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
The GEONAV can be interfaced not only with the optional
fishfinder unit, but also with a depth sounder via NMEA.
In this case, the instrument will enable 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.
