Camera Tracking
When connected to a compatible camera, you can use advanced camera-tracking features.
Hold the camera on a fixed compass direction (Compass Lock)
Lock the camera at a fixed angle relative to the vessel (Vessel Lock)
Track AIS, MARPA, or waypoint targets (also known as slew-to-cue)
To use any of the camera tracking features, you must connect compatible sensors and cameras to the
chartplotter using the Garmin Marine Network or the NMEA 2000 network.
To support Compass Lock and Vessel Lock functionality, you must connect these sensors and cameras:
A tracking-capable marine camera, such as a newer model FLIR IP video camera
A GPS antenna
A heading sensor
NOTE: For the best camera tracking performance, the heading sensor should provide 9-axis data including
yaw, pitch, and roll.
In addition to the sensors and cameras needed to support Compass Lock and Vessel Lock, you must connect
these additional devices to the Garmin Marine Network to support AIS and MARPA tracking:
To track targets using AIS, you must connect a compatible AIS receiver.
To track targets using MARPA, you must connect a compatible radar device.
Setting the Camera Angle and Height
If the camera supports camera tracking and the required equipment is connected, you should configure the
camera angle and height for the best results when using the camera tracking feature.
You should make small adjustments until the camera view and camera tracking performance work as expected.
The Camera Angle value specifies the angle at which the front of the camera points relative to the front of the
boat. A Camera Angle of zero degrees indicates the front of the camera is aligned with the front of the boat.
The Camera Height value specifies how high the camera is mounted above the heading sensor.
To set the camera angle, select Vessel > Video > Options > Installation > Camera Angle, and enter a value.
To set the camera height, select Vessel > Video > Options > Installation > Camera Height, and enter a value.
Using Compass Lock
Your tracking-capable camera can lock onto a compass direction regardless of the vessel heading. Using
Compass Lock requires specific sensors and devices (Camera Tracking, page163).
1If necessary, from a video screen, select Options > Source, and select a compatible camera.
2Drag the screen to aim the camera in the desired direction.
3Select Options > Target Tracking > Compass Lock.
4Select Back until you return to the video screen.
The camera view automatically adjusts to show the specified direction as the vessel moves.
5If necessary, drag the screen to adjust the camera angle.
The Compass Lock continues to track using the adjusted camera angle.
6To stop tracking, select Options > Target Tracking > Stop Tracking > Back.
