Conguring the Chartplotter
Use the Congure screen to congure unit settings.
Conguring System Settings
To change general system settings from the Home screen, select
Congure > System.
Simulator—turn Simulator mode on or off. Select Setup to set
simulator options, such as simulated position, speed, and direction.
Beeper/Display

sounds. Select Display > Backlight to brighten or darken the
backlight. Select Display > Color Mode to switch between Day
mode and Night mode (page 4).
Auto Power
(GPSMAP 421/451/521/551/526/556, including “s”
models)—turn Auto Power On or Off. When On is selected, the
chartplotter will automatically turn on whenever power is applied,
unless the chartplotter is turned off with the Power Key before
power is lost.
GPS

Skyview—view the GPS satellite constellation.
WAAS/EGNOS

EGNOS, the device takes longer to acquire satellites.
Speed Filter
—select On, Off, or Auto. The speed lter averages
the speed of your boat over a short period of time for smoother
speed values.
System Information
—view system information and reset factory
settings. The Save to Card button is provided as a troubleshooting
tool; a Garmin Product Support representative may ask you to use
this feature to retrieve data about your chartplotter.
Event Log—displays a list of system events. Select the event to
view additional information.
Conguring Units of Measure
To change units of measure from the Home screen, select
Congure > Preferences > Units.
System Units—a global setting that denes individual units of
measure at the same time: Statute (mh, ft, ºF), Metric (kh, m, ºC),
Nautical (kt, ft, ºF), or Custom. Select Custom to individually
dene units of measure for depth, temperature, distance, speed,
elevation, volume, and pressure.
NOTE: You must be receiving NMEA sonar depth data or using
a Garmin sounder module to view depth and water temperature
information.
