Main Menu

The Main Menu allows you to customize the weather data that appears on your GPSMAP 3000 Series chartplotter. For information on configuring weather on a GPSMAP 4000 Series or a GPSMAP 5000 Series chartplotter, consult your GPSMAP 4000 Series or GPSMAP 5000 Series chartplotter Owner’s Manual.

Weather Tab

The GDL 30A provides current weather conditions, forecast information, and sea-surface information from the weather center nearest to your present location, or from a location selected using the Find Weather Information page. To display the Weather tab, press and hold the ADJ/ MENU key to display the Menu Menu. Using the ROCKER, highlight the Weather tab. Five sub tabs are available: Current, Forecast, Sea Surface, Forecast Map, and Setup.

Current (Weather)

The Current (weather) sub tab displays current weather conditions observed at the weather data location closest to your current position or at a location selected using the Find Information page.

If a condition field is empty, data for that field is not available at this time.

To search for data at a location other than your current location, highlight Current Position and press ENTER. With the Find Weather Information page displayed, highlight a search option and press ENTER. With a new location selected, all information shown in the sub tab categories relates to the selected location.
