Configuring the Chartplotter
Setting Weather Alarms
NOTE: You must have a subscription to XM WX Weather and
a connected Garmin XM WX weather receiver to view weather
information ( page 60 ).
1. From the Home screen, select Configure > Alarms > Weather .
2. Turn the following alarms on or off: marine, tornado, severe
storm, flood, or flash flood.
Setting the Total Fuel Onboard Alarm
You can configure your chartplotter to sound an alarm when the total
amount of remaining onboard fuel reaches the specified level.
To receive fuel-level information, your unit must be connected to an
external fuel sensor, such as the Garmin GFS 10.
To enable the Total Fuel Onboard alarm and set the fuel
alarm level:
1. From the Home screen, select Configure > Alarms > Fuel >
Total Onboard > On (or Off ).
2. If you select On, use the Rocker to indicate the fuel level at
which the alarm should sound.
Configuring My Boat
To configure settings for your boat, from the Home screen, select
Configure > My boat .
Keel Offset—offset 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. Enter a negative number to compensate for a large
vessel that may draw several feet of water.
To adjust the Keel Offset:
1. From the Home screen, select Configure > My Boat > Keel
Offset .
2. Use the Rocker to enter the measured distance from the
transducer location to the water line or to the keel of the boat.
• If you are measuring down to the keel (transducer installed at
the water line), enter a (+) positive number. This shows the
depth at the bottom of the keel.
• If you are measuring up to the water line (transducer installed
on the bottom of the keel), enter a (-) negative number. This
shows the depth at the surface.
3. Select Done to accept the number.
