Synchronizing User Data Across the Garmin Marine Network

NOTICE

Before you synchronize the user data across the network, you should backup your user data to prevent possible data loss. See Backing Up Data to a Computer.

You can share waypoints, tracks, and routes with all compatible devices connected to the Garmin Marine Network (Ethernet) automatically.

NOTE: This feature is not available on all models.

Select Settings > Preferences > User Data Sharing > On.

If a change is made to a waypoint, track, or route on one chartplotter, that data is synchronized automatically across all chartplotters on the Ethernet network.

Navigation with a Chartplotter

CAUTION

If your vessel has an autopilot system, a dedicated autopilot control display must be installed at each steering helm in order to disable the autopilot system.

The Auto Guidance feature is based on electronic chart information. That data does not ensure obstacle and bottom clearance. Carefully compare the course to all visual sightings, and avoid any land, shallow water, or other obstacles that may be in your path.

NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some areas.

NOTE: Mariner's Eye 3D and Fish Eye 3D chart views are available with premium charts, in some areas.

NOTE: The offshore Fishing chart is available with premium charts, in some areas.

To navigate, you must choose a destination, set a course or create a route, and follow the course or route. You can follow the course or the route on the Navigation chart, Fishing chart, Perspective 3D chart view, or Mariner’s Eye 3D chart view.
