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.

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 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. 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.
