Acquiring GPS Satellite Signals

When you turn the unit on, the GPS receiver must collect satellite data and establish its current location. When the unit acquires satellite signals, the signal strength bars at the top of the Home screen are green. When the unit loses satellite signals, the green bars disappear and the position icon shows a flashing question mark.

For more information about GPS, visit the Garmin Web site at www.garmin.com/aboutGPS.

Inserting and Removing SD Cards

Your unit supports Secure Digital (SD) cards. Insert optional BlueChart® g2 Vision™ SD cards to view high-resolution satellite imagery, and aerial reference photos of ports, harbors, marinas, and other points of interest. Insert blank SD cards to transfer data such as waypoints, routes, and tracks to another compatible Garmin unit or a computer. The SD card slot is located on the lower-right corner of the unit.

To insert the SD card, open the access door and press the SD card in until it clicks. Press the card in again and release it to eject it from the chartplotter.
