Synchronizing User Data Across the Garmin

Marine Network

Before you synchronize the user data across the network, you

should backup your user data to prevent possible data loss.

See

Backing Up Data to a Computer.

You can share waypoints, tracks, and routes with all compatible

devices connected to the Garmin Marine Network (Ethernet)

automatically.

NOTE: This feature is not available on all models.

Select Settings > Preferences > User Data Sharing > On.

If a change is made to a waypoint, track, or route on one

chartplotter, that data is synchronized automatically across all

chartplotters on the Ethernet network.

Deleting All Saved Waypoints, Routes, and

Tracks

Select Info > User Data > Clear User Data > All > OK.

Sailing Features

Setting the Vessel Type

You can select your boat type to configure the chartplotter

settings and to use features customized for your boat type.

Select Settings > My Vessel > Vessel Type.

Select Powerboat or Sailboat.

Sail Racing

You can use the device to increase the likelihood that your boat

will cross the start line of a race exactly when the race begins.

When you synchronize the race timer with the official race

countdown timer, you are alerted at one-minute intervals as the

race start approaches. When you combine the race timer with

the virtual start line, the device measures your speed, bearing,

and remaining time on the countdown timer. The device uses

this data to indicate whether your boat will cross the start line

before, after, or at the correct time to start the race.

Starting Line Guidance

Sailing start line guidance is a visual representation of the

information you need to cross the start line at the optimal time

and speed.

After you set the starboard and port start line pins, and the

target speed and time, and after you start the race timer, a

predictor line appears. The predictor line extends from your

current location toward the start line and the laylines that extend

from each pin.

The end point and color of the predictor line indicate where the

boat will be when the timer expires, based on your current boat

speed.

When the end point is before the start line, the line is white. This

indicates the boat must increase speed to reach the start line on

time.

When the end point is past the start line, the line is red. This

indicates the boat must reduce speed to avoid a penalty for

reaching the start line before the timer expires.

When the end point is on the start line, the line is white. This

indicates the boat is moving at an optimal speed to reach the

start line when the timer expires.

By default, the start line guidance window and the race timer

window appear in the Sail Racing combination screen.

Enter the distance.

Select Done.

Laylines Settings

From the navigation chart, select Menu > Sailing > Laylines.

Display: Sets how the laylines and vessel are shown on the

chart, and sets the length of the laylines.

Sailing Ang.: Allows you to select how the device calculates

laylines. The Actual option calculates the laylines using the

measured wind angle from the wind sensor. The Manual

option calculates the laylines using manually entered

windward and leeward angles.

Tide Correction: Corrects the laylines based on the tide.

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
