Enabling the Gybe Inhibitor
NOTE: The gybe inhibitor does not prevent you from manually performing a gybe using the helm or step
steering.
The gybe inhibitor prevents the autopilot from performing a gybe.
1 From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Autopilot Setup > Sailing Setup > Gybe Inhibitor.
2 Select Enabled.
Heading Line and Angle Markers
The heading line is an extension drawn on the map from the bow of the boat in the direction of travel. Angle
markers indicate relative position from the heading or course over ground, which are helpful for casting or
finding reference points.
Setting the Heading Line and Angle Markers
The heading line is an extension drawn on the map from the bow of the boat in the direction of travel. Angle
markers indicate relative position from the heading or course over ground, which are helpful for casting or
finding reference points.
You can show the heading line and the course over ground (COG) line on the chart.
COG is your direction of movement. Heading is the direction the bow of the boat is pointed, when a heading
sensor is connected.
1 From a chart, select Menu > Layers > My Vessel > Heading Line > Angle Markers.
2 If necessary, select Source, and select an option:
• To automatically use the available source, select Auto.
• To use the GPS antenna heading for COG, select GPS Heading (COG).
• To use data from a connected heading sensor, select Heading.
• To use data from both a connected heading sensor and the GPS antenna, select COG and Heading.
This displays both the heading line and the COG line on the chart.
3 Select Display, and select an option:
• Select Distance > Distance, and enter the length of the line shown on the chart.
• Select Time > Time, and enter the time used to calculate the distance your boat will travel in the specified
time at your present speed.
Sonar Fishfinder
When properly connected to a transducer, your compatible chartplotter can be used as a fishfinder. Chartplotter
models without an xsv or xs in their names require a Garmin sounder module and transducer to display sonar
information.
For more information about which transducer is best for your needs, go to
.
Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area. The sonar views available vary depending on the
type of transducer and sounder module connected to the chartplotter. For example, you can view certain
Panoptix
™
sonar screens only if you have a compatible Panoptix transducer connected.
There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a full-screen view, a split-screen view that combines two or
more views, a split-zoom view, and a split-frequency view that displays two different frequencies. You can
customize the settings for each view in the screen. For example, if you are viewing the split-frequency view, you
can separately adjust the gain for each frequency.
If you do not see an arrangement of sonar views to suit your needs, you can create a custom combination
screen (
Creating a New Combination Page, page 14
) or a SmartMode layout (
).
