DIAGNOSTIC

The GEONAV features a diagnostic program to verify its cor- rect performance, once installed, and to detect problems that may occur during the use of the unit.

To access the diagnostic program, keep pressed any key but CLR, while pressing the PWR key.

The GEONAV will switch on and carry out automatically a test of the whole system; as soon as the memory test is com- pleted, the program will test the LCD, the CompactFlash™ card and the keyboard. Press ENTER to run one test, CLR to skip to the next one. To exit from the keyboard test, press CLR twice.

Once the keyboard test is completed, the diagnostic program allows checking the messages received from the GPS through the NMEA 0183 port. Hold the knob pressed to freeze the messages on the screen, then release it to keep on displaying the new messages sent by the GPS. To test channel 1 (depth sounder or wind instrument), press GOTO. Press CLR to quit.

After the keyboard, the diagnostic program will test the inter- nal non-volatile memory and the backlight. Press ENTER to run one test, CLR to skip to the next one.

Once terminated all tests, press ENTER to re-boot the unit.

WARNING: The internal memory can be cleared by pressing simultaneously the PWR and CLR keys. This operation will delete all the settings stored in the GEONAV and restore factory settings.

NOTE: In case of damaged cartridge or abnormal power spikes, the unit might lock, requiring a power shutdown to restart. In that case, the unit can be turned off without the need of detaching the power, by simply holding the PWR key pressed for more than 10 seconds. This function is useful if the unit is panel mounted or flush mounted and the power switch cannot be easily accessed.

10C, 11C specifications

Navionics is a leading provider of electronic navigational charts and marine mapping solutions, renowned for its innovative products that enhance the boating experience. Among its extensive range of cartographic offerings, the Navionics 11C and 10C chartpacks stand out, providing detailed and user-friendly marine navigation options suitable for both recreational and commercial boaters.

The Navionics 11C chartpack covers a comprehensive range of geographical areas, including parts of the United States, Canada, and Mexico, while the 10C chartpack focuses primarily on regions within the Caribbean and parts of Central America. Both chartpacks are designed to enhance safety and navigation efficiency by offering detailed nautical information.

One of the main features of Navionics 11C and 10C is the High-Definition Contour Mapping technology. This feature provides detailed depth contours and high-resolution bathymetric data, allowing boaters to better understand the underwater terrain and identify safe routes. This is crucial in avoiding hazards like shallow areas and submerged objects, thus enhancing overall safety during navigation.

Another standout characteristic is the SonarChart feature, which allows users to create personalized bathymetric maps based on sonar logs. This means that boaters can continuously update their charts using their own data, ensuring that the information remains current and relevant. It’s an essential tool for those who frequently navigate the same waters, as it includes depth shading to show steepness.

Moreover, both chartpacks offer a range of additional data layers, such as navigational aids, anchorages, marinas, and restricted areas. The incorporation of diverse information helps boaters make informed decisions while navigating. The intuitive interface and zoom capabilities facilitate a seamless navigation experience, while the compatibility with various devices, including plotters and mobile tablets, enhances accessibility.

The updates are another vital aspect of the Navionics offerings. Users can benefit from regular updates, which ensure that charts remain accurate with real-time data changes, such as new depths, buoy placements, and other navigational information.

In summary, the Navionics 11C and 10C chartpacks combine advanced technology with user-friendly features, creating a comprehensive resource for safe and efficient marine navigation. The combination of High-Definition Contour Mapping, the innovative SonarChart feature, and rich data layers make them invaluable tools for any boater looking to enhance their maritime adventures.
