fix.
Auto Power: Turns on the device automatically when power is
applied (Turning On the Chartplotter Automatically).
Language: Sets the on-screen text language.
Speed Sources: Sets the source of the speed data used to
calculate true wind speed or fuel economy. Water speed is
the speed reading from a water-speed sensor, and GPS
speed is calculated from your GPS position.
System Information: Provides information about the device and
the software version.
Simulator: Turns on the simulator and allows you to set the
speed and simulated location.

visibility, this configuration can be used in combination with
GPS to provide more accurate position information.
WAAS/EGNOS: Turns on or off WAAS (in North America) or
EGNOS (in Europe), which can provide more-accurate GPS
position information. When using WAAS or EGNOS, the
device may take longer to acquire satellites.

Select Settings
> My Vessel
.
Keel Offset: Offsets 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 (Setting the Keel
Offset).
Temp. Offset: Compensates for the water temperature reading
from a NMEA 0183 water-temperature sensor or a
temperature-capable transducer (Setting the Water
Temperature Offset).
Calibrate Water Speed: Calibrates the speed-sensing
transducer or sensor (Calibrating a Water Speed Device).
Fuel Capacity: Sets the combined fuel capacity of all the fuel
tanks on your vessel (Setting the Fuel Capacity of the
Vessel).
Vessel Type: Enables some chartplotter features based on the
boat type.
Fill Up All Tanks: Sets the tank levels to full (Synchronizing the
Fuel Data with the Actual Vessel Fuel).
Add Fuel to Boat: Allows you to enter the quantity of fuel you
added to your tank, when you did not entirely fill up the tank
(Synchronizing the Fuel Data with the Actual Vessel Fuel).
Set Total Fuel Onboard: Sets the combined amount of fuel in
all the fuel tanks on your vessel (Synchronizing the Fuel Data
with the Actual Vessel Fuel).
Set Gauge Limits: Sets the upper and lower limits of various
gauges (Customizing Engine Gauge and Fuel Gauge Limits).
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
the bottom of the keel instead of from the transducer location.
Enter a positive number to offset for a keel. You can enter a
negative number to compensate for a large vessel that may
draw several feet of water.

Complete an action, based on the location of the transducer:
If the transducer is installed at the water line
À
, measure
the distance from the transducer location to the keel of the
boat. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a positive
number.
If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel
Á
,
measure the distance from the transducer to the water
line. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a negative
number.
