You can set an alarm to sound when the total amount of

remaining onboard fuel reaches the level you specify.

Select Settings > Alarms > Fuel > Set Total Fuel Onboard

Enter the remaining amount of fuel that triggers the alarm,

and select Done.

Units Settings

Select Settings > Units.

System Units: Sets the unit format for the device.

Variance: Sets the magnetic declination, the angle between

magnetic north and true north, for your present location.

North Reference: Sets the direction references used in

calculating heading information. True sets geographic north

as the north reference. Grid sets grid north as the north

reference (000º). Magnetic sets the magnetic north as the

north reference.

Position Format: Sets the position format in which a given

location reading appears. Do not change this setting unless

you are using a map or chart that specifies a different

position format.

Map Datum: Sets the coordinate system on which the map is

structured. Do not change this setting unless you are using a

map or chart that specifies a different map datum.

Pressure Reference Time: Sets the reference time used to

calculate the barometer trend. The trend is indicated in the

barometer field.

Time Format: Sets a 12-hour, 24-hour, or UTC time format.

Time Zone: Sets the time zone, or allows automatic selection

based on GPS location.

Navigation Settings

NOTE: Some settings and options require additional charts or

hardware.

Select Settings > Navigation.

Route Labels: Sets the type of labels shown with route turns on

the map.

Auto Guidance: Sets the parameters the chartplotter uses

when calculating an Auto Guidance path, when you are using

some premium maps.

Turn Transition Activ.: Sets the turn transition to be calculated

based on time or distance.

Turn Transition Time: Sets how many minutes before the turn

that you transition to it as the next leg, when Time is selected

for the Turn Transition Activ. setting. You can raise this value

to help improve the accuracy of the autopilot when navigating

a route or an Auto Guidance path with many frequent turns or

at higher speeds. For straighter routes or slower speeds,

lowering this value can improve autopilot accuracy.

Turn Transition Dist.: Sets how far before the turn that you

transition to it as the next leg, when Distance is selected for

the Turn Transition Activ. setting. You can raise this value to

help improve the accuracy of the autopilot when navigating a

route or an Auto Guidance path with many frequent turns or

at higher speeds. For straighter routes or slower speeds,

lowering this value can improve autopilot accuracy.

Route Start: Selects a starting point for route navigation.

Other Vessel Settings

When your compatible chartplotter is connected to an AIS

device or VHF radio, you can set up how other vessels are

displayed on the chartplotter.

Select Settings > Other Vessels.

AIS: Enables and disables AIS signal reception.

DSC: Enables and disables digital selective calling (DSC).

AIS Alarm: Sets the collision alarm

Sharing and Managing User Data

You can share and manage user data using a memory card.

You must have a memory card installed in the device. This

device supports up to a 32 GB memory card, formatted to

FAT32.

You can share data if two compatible devices are connected

using the blue and brown wires on the power cable or using the

User Data Sharing Cable

(Connecting to a Garmin Device to

Share User Data, page

36).

Connecting to a Garmin Device to Share

User Data

NOTE: This feature is not available on ECHOMAP Plus 70/90

devices. The blue and brown wires on those devices can

connect to NMEA 0183 devices only.

You can connect the ECHOMAP Plus 40/60 device to a

compatible Garmin device to share user data, such as

waypoints. If the devices are mounted near each other, you can

connect the blue and brown wires. If the devices are mounted

too far apart for the wires to reach, you can connect the devices

using a User Data Sharing Cable (010-12234-06).

Make sure both devices are connected to the same ground.

Complete an action:

• If the devices are mounted near each other, connect the

blue wire from the first device to the brown wire of the

second, and connect the brown wire from the first device

to the blue wire of the second.

• If the devices are not mounted near each other, obtain a

User Data Sharing Cable (010-12234-06), and connect

the devices following the instructions included with the

cable

(User Data Sharing Cable Wiring Diagram,

page

36).

On both devices, select Nav Info > Manage Data > User

Data Sharing.

User data is shared between the connected devices. If you

select Clear User Data, data is removed from both connected

devices.
