Customizing the Chartplotter
Home Screen
The chartplotter home screen provides access to all of the features in the chartplotter. The features are
dependant on the accessories you have connected to the chartplotter. You may not have all of the options and
features discussed in this manual.
When viewing another screen, you can return to the home screen by selecting Home.
Status bar
Categories bar
Screen buttons
Menu bar
The categories along the right of the screen provide quick access to the main features of your chartplotter. For
example, the Sonar category displays the views and screens related to the sonar feature. You can save items
you commonly access to the Favorites category.
All of the options in the menu bar along the bottom of the home screen are visible on all other screens, except
for the Settings button. The Settings button is accessible only from the home screen.
TIP: If your home screen has been customized by the boat manufacturer, you can open the original home
screen category tabs by dragging the bar on the right side of the screen to the left.
The SmartMode items are geared toward an activity, such as cruising or docking. When a SmartMode 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.
An indicator appears on the Info button when an alarm is activated (
).
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. You can customize the
layout of the screens on each display, making each screen different on each display. When you change the
layout of a screen in one display, the changes appear on only 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.
