Symbol Description Target is lost. A green X indicates that the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost, and the chartplotter displays a message banner asking whether the vessel should continue to be tracked. If you discontinue vessel tracking, the lost target symbol disappears from the chart or the 3D chart view.

9 Follow the magenta line, steering to avoid land, shallow water, and other obstacles. Creating and Saving a Route This procedure saves the route and all the waypoints in it. The starting point can be your present location or another location. 1 Select Nav Info > Routes & Auto Guidance Paths > New Route > Route Using Chart .
Creating and Saving an Auto Guidance Path 1 Select Nav Info > Routes & Auto Guidance Paths > New Route > Auto Guidance . 2 Select a starting point, and select Next . 3 Select a destination, and select Next . 4 Select an option: • To view a hazard and adjust the path near a hazard, select Hazard Review .
Showing Tracks From a chart or a 3D chart view, select Menu > Waypoints & Tracks > Tracks > On . A trailing line on the chart indicates your track. Setting the Color of the Active Track 1 Select Nav Info > Tracks > Active Track Options > Track Color .

 The transducer on your vessel à Trees Ä Old tires Å Logs Æ Distance from the side of the boat SideVü/DownVü Scanning Technology Instead of a more common conical beam, the SideVü/DownVü transducer uses a flat beam to scan the water and ground to the sides of your boat.
RealVü 3D Down Sonar View This sonar view shows a three-dimensional view of what is below the transducer and can be used when you are stationary and want to see what is around your boat.
Adjusting the Level of Detail You can control the level of detail and noise shown on the sonar screen either by adjusting the gain for traditional transducers, or by adjusting the brightness for DownVü and SideVü/DownVü transducers.
Some sonar black boxes and transducers also provide the ability to customize preset frequencies for each transducer element, which enables you to change the frequency quickly using the presets as the water and your goals change.
On-screen Control : Sets the behavior of the buttons on the sonar screen control. This is available for touchscreen devices. Range Lines : Shows the vertical lines indicating the distance to the right and left of the boat. This setting is available for SideVü sonar view.
Wider beam widths generate larger arches for fish target returns, making them ideal for locating fish. Wider beam widths also perform better in deep water, because the lower frequency has better deep water penetration. Wider beam widths can also generate more surface noise and reduce bottom signal continuity during rough sea conditions.
5 Select Menu > Transmit Radar . Adjusting the Radar Range The range of the radar signal indicates the length of the pulsed signal transmitted and received by the radar. As the range increases, the radar transmits longer pulses in order to reach distant targets.
• To show the tracks of AIS vessels, select Trails , and select the length of the track that appears. VRM and EBL The variable range marker (VRM) and the electronic bearing line (EBL) measure the distance and bearing from your boat to a target object.
NOTE: Depending upon the radar in use, the gain setting configured for use in one radar mode may or may not be applied to other radar modes or to the Radar overlay. NOTE: Not all options and settings are available on all radar and chartplotter models.

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. Display Settings Not all options are available on all models. Select Settings > System > Display .
Setting the Water Temperature Offset Before you can set the water temperature offset, you must have a NMEA 0183 water-temperature sensor or a temperature- capable transducer to measure water temperature. The temperature offset compensates for the temperature reading from a temperature sensor.
System Units : Sets the unit format for the device. Variance : Sets the magnetic declination, the angle between magnetic north and true north, for your present location. Heading : Sets the direction references used in calculating heading information. True sets geographic north as the north reference.
whether the line safely avoids known obstacles and the turns enable efficient travel. Auto Guidance maintains a wide clearance from obstacles in open water, even if you set the Shoreline Distance setting to Near or Nearest.
Cleaning the Screen NOTICE Cleaners containing ammonia will harm the anti-reflective coating.
