Follow the on-screen instructions until the magnetic heading 

alignment is complete.

Disabling the Magnetic Heading Data

If you cannot mount the antenna in an ideal location for 

magnetic heading and GPS performance, you can disable the 

magnetic heading data.

Perform a factory reset (

Antenna Configuration

, page 5

).

The device still outputs GPS Course over Ground.

Adjusting the Fine Heading Alignment

You can adjust the Fine Heading Alignment in conjunction with 

Auto Heading Alignment to fine-tune the heading output 

(optional).

1

From the antenna calibration screen, select 

Fine Heading 

Alignment

.

2

Using a landmark or a known good compass, determine the 

heading of your boat.

3

Adjust the heading until it matches your measurement.

Performing Basic Calibration

If you connect the antenna to a NMEA 2000 network without a 

compatible Garmin chartplotter or with a third-party device, you 

must perform basic calibration instead of menu-based 

calibration.
Before you can perform basic calibration, you must be able to 

view heading data from the NMEA 2000 network on a connected 

device. To perform basic calibration, you must remove from the 

network all sources of heading data other than the antenna.
When performing basic calibration, you first calibrate the 

compass and then align the heading in one continuous 

procedure.

NOTE: 

The boat must be able to reach a cruising speed of at 

least 6.4 km/h (4 mph) to perform the heading alignment.

1

Drive the boat to a location with calm, open water.

2

Set the display to view heading data from the connected 

antenna.

NOTE: 

You must not use GPS Course Over Ground (COG) 

to perform basic calibration.

3

Disconnect the antenna from the NMEA 2000 network or turn 

off the power to the NMEA 2000 network.

4

Wait while the boat becomes level and stationary.

5

Turn on power to the antenna, and wait until the heading data 

appears on the display  .

NOTE: 

If you are performing the first basic calibration after a 

factory reset, the heading is blank.

6

Within three minutes, complete two full, slow, tight circles  , 

taking care to keep the boat as steady and level as possible.
The boat should not list during calibration.
When the antenna is prepared to calibrate the compass, the 

heading data disappears from the display 
You may receive an error message that the heading was lost. 

You can ignore this message.

7

Continue turning in the same direction at the same speed 

for approximately 1

 rotations until the heading data 

appears  .

When the heading data appears, the compass has been 

calibrated successfully, and you can align the heading 

(optional).

8

Select an option.
• If you want to align the heading to match the front of the 

boat, proceed to the next step.

• If you do not want to align the heading, stop turning and 

wait, keeping the boat stationary. Over the next two 

minutes the heading data should disappear and then 

reappear. When the heading data reappears, the compass 

should be calibrated and no heading offset should be 

applied.

9

Continue turning in the same direction at the same speed for 

approximately ten seconds, until the heading data disappears 

from the display  .

10

When it is safe, straighten the boat and drive in a straight line 

 at cruising speed (must be at least 6.4 km/h (4 mph)) until 

the heading data appears  .
When the heading appears, the compass has been 

calibrated, and the heading has been aligned on the antenna.

11

Test the results of the calibration, and repeat this procedure if 

necessary.

Disabling the Magnetic Heading Data

If you cannot mount the antenna in an ideal location for 

magnetic heading and GPS performance, you can disable the 

magnetic heading data.

1

Drive the boat to a location with calm, open water.
