Using Charts
USinG
ChartS
Surface Radar—display radar returns from the surface of the water when the chartplotter is
connected to a marine radar (page 44).
Perspective 3D With Surface Radar Information
Data Bars—show or hide cruising, navigation, shing, fuel, or sailing numbers (page 10).
Chart Appearance—customize the Perspective 3D chart.
Range Rings—toggles the range rings on or off. The range rings help you to visualize distances
on the map.
Safe Depth—adjusts the safe depth for your boat. If the chartplotter is connected to an optional
sonar module and the shallow water alarm is activated (page 71), an alarm will sound when your
boat enters water shallower than this setting.
Lane Width—adjusts the width of the course line drawn when navigating. This setting also
affects routes (Route To), but does not affect automatic guidance (Guide To).
Using Radar Overlay
When you connect your chartplotter to an optional Garmin marine radar, you can use Radar Overlay
to overlay radar information on the Navigation chart (page 44).
Using Tracks
A track is a recording of your path. The track currently being recorded is the active track. You can
save an active track.
To turn the track log on:
From the Navigation or Perspective 3D chart, select Menu > Waypoints & Tracks > Tracks >
On. A trailing line on the chart indicates your track.
