Customizing the Chartplotter
Home Screen
The chartplotter home screen provides access to all of the
features in the chartplotter. The features are dependant on the
accessories you have connected to the chartplotter. You may
not have all of the options and features discussed in this
manual.
The categories along the right of the screen provide quick
access to the main features of your chartplotter. For example,
the Sonar category displays the views and pages related to the
sonar feature. You can save items you commonly access to the
Favorites category.
All of the options along the bottom of the home screen are
visible on all other screens, except for the Settings
button. The
Settings button is accessible only from the home screen.
When viewing another screen, you can return to the home
screen by selecting Home.
When multiple displays are installed on the Garmin Marine
Network, you can group them together into a station. A station
enables the displays to work together, instead of as several
separate displays. When you select Home on one display, each
display in the station returns to the home screen. You can
customize the layout of the pages on each display, making each
page different on each display. When you change the layout of a
page in one display, the changes appear on only that display.
When you change the name and symbol of the layout, those
changes appear on all displays in the station, to maintain a
consistent appearance.
The SmartMode items are geared toward an activity, such as
cruising or docking. When a SmartMode button is selected from
the home screen, each display in the station can show unique
information. For example, when Cruising is selected from the
home screen, one display can show the navigation chart and
another display can show the radar screen.
Adding an Item to Favorites
1
From the home screen, select a category from the right.
2
Hold a button on the left.
The item is added to the Favorites
home screen category.
Customizing Pages
Customizing the Layout of a SmartMode
or
Combination Page

name and symbol. When you change the SmartMode name or
symbol for the layout, the new name or symbol appears on all
displays in the station.
