Chart plotter quick-start tips!
Upon powering-on the unit, the “favorites” screen is available with options of a
full-screen navigation
screen or a split-screen
with simultaneous close-up and zoomed-out navigation.
Remember that the unit is a
touch screen
, so be careful where you touch!
To navigate to a certain location
, locate the destination by pinching/dragging the navigation screen and
touch the desired location on the screen then select “route to”. The next step is to touch the screen for each
turn and select “add turn”, working backwards to the starting location.
The route can be saved
by
selecting “end navigation” and indicating you desire to save/edit/name the route when prompted.
Remember that certain obstacles will not be visible on the navigation screen unless sufficiently
zoomed-in. The chart plotter will not adjust for these obstacles.
To find a saved route
, select “user data” from the bottom row of the home screen, then “routes” then
select the desired route from the list, and then “navigate to”.
To re-center
the map on Chinook’s current location, select “stop panning” from the lower right corner of
the screen.
To activate the radar
select the “radar” icon located in the top left corner of the chart plotter screen. After
selecting, the screen will indicate that the radar is “spinning up” that takes only a few seconds. “Sea clutter”
and “rain clutter” can be adjusted-for on the right side of the radar screen. To exit the radar screen,
“unselect” the radar button in the upper left.
Personal mobile devices with the
Garmin ActiveCaptain app
installed
can be connected to Chinook’s
chart plotter. After installing the app, and in close physical range to the chart plotter, connect to the
“CHINOOK GARMIN” wi-fi network.
