GPS Satellite Signals

When you turn on the chartplotter, the GPS receiver must collect satellite data and establish the current location. When

the chartplotter acquires satellite signals, appears at the top of the Home screen. When the chartplotter loses satellite

signals, disappears and a flashing question mark appears over on the chart.

Stations and Home Screens

When multiple displays are installed on the Garmin Marine Network, you can group them together into a station. A station enables the displays to work together, instead of as several separate displays.

When you select Home on one display, each display in the station returns to the Home screen.

There are two types of home screens. You can move between the two home screens by selecting the arrows. One home screen contains menu items for this display only. The other home screen contains SmartMode™ menu items, which are geared toward an activity, such as cruising or docking.

With the SmartMode feature, when a button is selected from the Home screen, each display in the station can show unique information. For example, when Cruising is selected from the Home screen, one display can show the Navigation chart and another display can show the Radar screen.

You can customize the layout of the pages on each display, making each page different on each display. When you change the layout of a page in one display, the changes appear only on that display. When you change the name and symbol of the layout, those changes appear on all displays in the station, to maintain a consistent appearance.

Customizing the Home Screen

You can add items to and remove items from the Home screen. Any customization made to one Home screen in the station appears on all displays in the station.

Charts and 3D Chart Views

The charts and 3D chart views that are available depend on the map data and accessories used.

You can access the charts and 3D chart views by selecting Charts.
