About: Displays device information, such as the unit ID, software version, regulatory information, and license
agreement

Waypoints: Allows you to enter a custom prefix for automatically named waypoints.
System Settings
Select Setup > System.
Satellite: Sets the satellite system options
Text Language: Sets the text language on the device.
NOTE: Changing the text language does not change the language of user-entered data or map data, such as
street names.
Interface: Sets the format of the serial interface
RINEX Logging: Enables the device to write Receiver Independent Exchange Format (RINEX) data to a system
file. RINEX is a data interchange format for raw satellite navigation system data.
Satellite Settings
Select Setup > System > Satellite.
NOTE: Some settings may not be available for all device models.
Satellite System: Sets the satellite system to GPS only, multiple satellite systems, or Demo Mode (GPS off).
WAAS/EGNOS: Enables the system to use Wide Area Augmentation System/European Geostationary Navigation
Overlay Service (WAAS/EGNOS) data.
Multi-Band: Enables the use of multi-band systems on the GPSMAP 67 device.
NOTE: Multi-band systems use multiple frequency bands and allow for more consistent track logs and
improved positioning when using the device in challenging environments.
GPS and Other Satellite Systems
Using GPS and another satellite system together offers increased performance in challenging environments and
faster position acquisition than using GPS only. However, using multiple systems can reduce battery life more
quickly than using GPS only.
Your device can use these Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Multi-band systems use multiple
frequency bands and allow for more consistent track logs, improved positioning, improved multi-path errors,
and fewer atmospheric errors when using the device in challenging environments. Some satellite systems may
not be available for all device models.
GPS: A satellite constellation built by the United States.
GPS multi-band: A satellite constellation built by the United States, using the enhanced L5 signal.
GLONASS: A satellite constellation built by Russia.
GALILEO: A satellite constellation built by the European Space Agency.
GALILEO multi-band: A satellite constellation built by the European Space Agency, using the enhanced L5
signal.
QZSS multi-band: A satellite constellation built by Japan, using the enhanced L5 signal.
IRNSS (NavIC): A satellite constellation built by India, using the enhanced L5 signal.
Serial Interface Settings
Select Setup > System > Interface.
Garmin Spanner: Allows you to use the device USB port with most NMEA 0183-compliant mapping programs by
creating a virtual serial port.
Garmin Serial: Sets the device to use a Garmin proprietary format to exchange waypoint, route, and track data
with a computer.
NMEA In/Out: Sets the device to use standard NMEA 0183 output and input.
Text Out: Provides simple ASCII text output of location and velocity information.
MTP: Sets the device to use Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) to access the file system on the device instead of
mass storage mode.
