Setting the Water Temperature Offset

You must have a water-temperature sensor or a temperature-capable transducer.

The temperature offset compensates for the temperature reading from a temperature sensor.

1.Measure the water temperature using the temperature sensor or temperature-capable transducer that is connected to the chartplotter.

2.Measure the water temperature using a different temperature sensor or thermometer that is known to be accurate.

3.Subtract the water temperature measured in step 1 from the water temperature measured in step 2.

This is the temperature offset. Enter this value in step 5 as a positive number if the sensor connected to the chartplotter measures the water temperature as being colder than it actually is. Enter this value in step 5 as a negative number if the sensor connected to the chartplotter measures the water temperature as being warmer than it actually is.

4.From the Home screen, select Configure > My Boat > Temp Offset.

5.Enter the temperature offset calculated in step 3:

•For the GPSMAP 6000 series, use the Rocker or the Numeric Keypad to enter the temperature offset.

•For the GPSMAP 7000 series, use the on-screen keyboard to enter the temperature offset.

6.Select Done.
