If the active GRI Chain, secondary stations, or offsets were changed since the
waypoint was created, the waypoint now references the active GRI-chain and
secondary stations and adjusts the TD coordinates accordingly. Remember that
the GPS is not relying on the LORAN signal for navigation and actually converts
the TD coordinate to a useful latitude/longitude coordinate (in the background)
before storing the waypoint to memory or using it for navigation. Because of this,
the unit can navigate to a TD coordinate anywhere in the world.
For more information on LORAN TDs, you can download Garmin’s Loran TD
Position Format Handbook from the Garmin Web site.
Caring for the GPSMAP 3205
The GPSMAP 3205 case is constructed of high-quality materials and does not
require user maintenance except cleaning.
Cleaning the Case
Clean the unit’s outer casing (except for the screen) using a cloth dampened with
a mild detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents
that may damage plastic components.
Cleaning the Screen
The GPSMAP 3205 lens is coated with a special anti-reflective coating that is
sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. Cleaners containing ammonia,
alcohol, abrasives, or anti-grease detergents will harm the anti-reflective coating.
It is important to clean the lens using an eyeglass lens cleaner (that is specified as
safe for anti-reflective coatings) and a clean, lint-free cloth.
Storage
Do not store the GPSMAP 3205 where prolonged exposure to extreme
temperatures may occur (such as in the trunk of a car) because permanent damage
may result. User information, such as waypoints and routes are retained in the
units memory without the need for external power. It is always a good practice
to back up important user data by manually recording it, loading it to a computer
(transferring it to MapSource), or storing it on a data card.
Water Immersion
The GPSMAP 3205 is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7. It can withstand
immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Prolonged submersion can cause
damage to the unit. After submersion, be certain to wipe and air dry the unit
before reuse.
