numbers via NMEA 0183 while navigating. Using numbers
may resolve compatibility issues with older NMEA 0183
autopilots.
Defaults

factory defaults.
Diagnostics
: Displays NMEA 0183 diagnostic information.

Garmin Marine Network
The Garmin Marine Network allows you to share data from
Garmin peripheral devices with Garmin chartplotters quickly and
easily. You can connect a chartplotter to a Garmin Marine
Network to receive data from and share data with other Marine
Network-compatible devices and chartplotters.

Arrival
: Sets an alarm to sound when you are within a specified
distance or time from a turn or a destination.
Anchor Drag
: Sets an alarm to sound when you exceed a
specified drift distance while anchored.
Off Course
: Sets an alarm to sound when you are off course by
a specified distance.
System Alarms
Alarm Clock
: Sets an alarm clock.
Device Voltage
: Sets an alarm to sound when the battery
reaches a specified low voltage.
GPS Accuracy
: Sets an alarm to sound when the GPS location
accuracy falls outside the user-defined value.
Setting the Fuel Alarm
Before you can set a fuel level alarm, a compatible fuel flow
sensor must be connected to the NMEA 2000 network.
You can set an alarm to sound when the total amount of
remaining onboard fuel reaches the level you specify.

Enter the remaining amount of fuel that triggers the alarm.
Setting Weather Alarms
Before you can set weather alarms, you must have a
compatible chartplotter connected to a weather device, such as
a GXM™ device, and have a valid weather subscription.

Keel Offset
: Offsets the surface reading for the depth of a keel,
making it possible to measure depth from the bottom of the
keel instead of from the transducer location (
page 24
).
Temperature Offset
: Compensates for the water temperature
reading from a NMEA 0183 water-temperature sensor or a
temperature-capable transducer (
page 25
).
Calibrate Water Speed
: Calibrates the speed-sensing
transducer or sensor (
page 25
).
Fuel Capacity
: Sets the combined fuel capacity of all the fuel
tanks on your vessel (
page 17
).
Fill Up All Tanks
: Sets the tank levels to full (
page 17
).
Add Fuel to Boat
: Allows you to enter the quantity of fuel you
added to your tank, when you did not entirely fill up the tank
(
page 17
).
Set Total Fuel Onboard
: Sets the combined amount of fuel in
all the fuel tanks on your vessel (
page 17
).
Set Gauge Limits
: Sets the upper and lower limits of various
gauges (
page 17
).
Setting the Keel Offset
You can enter a keel offset to compensate the surface reading
for the depth of a keel, making it possible to measure depth
from the bottom of the keel instead of from the transducer
location. Enter a positive number to offset for a keel. You can
enter a negative number to compensate for a large vessel that
may draw several feet of water.
1
Complete an action, based on the location of the transducer:
• If the transducer is installed at the water line
À
, measure
the distance from the transducer location to the keel of the
boat. Enter this value in step 3 and 4 as a positive
number.
• If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel
Á
,
measure the distance from the transducer to the water
line. Enter this value in step 3 and 4 as a negative
number.
