Configuring the Chartplotter
Heading—sets the reference used in calculating heading information.
•Auto Magnetic—automatically sets the magnetic declination for your location.
•True—sets true north as the heading reference.
•Grid—sets grid north as the heading reference (000º).
•User Magnetic—allows you to set the magnetic variation value.
Position Format—change the coordinate style in which a given location reading appears. Do not change the position format unless you are using a map or chart that specifies a different position format.
Map Datum—change the coordinate system in which the map is structured. Do not change the map datum unless you are using a map or chart that specifies a different map datum.
Time—set the time options.
•Time Format—select12-hour,24-hour, or UTC time format.•Time Zone—set the time zone you want displayed for time readings. If Auto is selected for the Time Zone, the DST option is not available and is automatically set to Auto.
•DST (Daylight Saving Time)—select Off, On, or Auto. The auto setting automatically turns daylight saving time on or off, depending on the time of year.
•Baro. Ref. Time—specify the reference time (from 30 minutes to 24 hours) used to calculate the barometric pressure trend. The trend is displayed on the wind gauge when ground wind is selected (page 36) or on the Cruising data bar (page 9).

Turn Transition—set how much time or how far before a turn in a route that you transition to the next leg.
Speed Sources—specify the sensor used for wind numbers and fuel economy. Select Wind or Fuel Economy to toggle between water (from a water-speed sensor) and GPS (from the calculated GPS speed).
