It may be necessary to adjust the bearing of the radar picture shown on the screen. First, using a magnetic compass, take an optical bearing of a

following to correct for the offset:

Setup, and press ENTER. Using the ROCKER, select the Advanced tab.

Rocker, highlight the Front of Boat Offset slider, and press ENTER.

4. Press Left on the

Rocker to adjust to a negative value, or press Right to adjust to a positive value. The preview window changes as you

adjust the slider.

5. Once an offset has been determined, press

ENTER to save, then press QUIT to return to the Radar Page. Your new Garmin marine

radar is now ready to use! Refer to the GMR 21/41 Owner’s Manual for details about operating the scanner.
