Configuring the Recording Interval of the Track Log
You can indicate the frequency at which the track plot is
recorded. Recording more frequent plots is more accurate but
fills the track log faster. The resolution interval is recommended
for the most efficient use of memory.
1
Select Nav Info > Tracks > Active Track Options > Record
Interval.
2
Select an option:
• To record the track based on a distance between points,
select Interval > Distance > Change, and enter the
distance.
• To record the track based on a time interval, select
Interval > Time > Change, and enter the time interval.
• To record the track plot based on a variance from your
course, select Interval > Resolution > Change, and enter
the maximum error allowed from the true course before
recording a track point. This is the recommended
recording option.
Boundaries
Boundaries allow you to avoid or remain in designated areas in
a body of water. You can set an alarm to alert you when you
enter or exit a boundary.
You can create boundary areas, lines, and circles using the
map. You can also convert saved tracks and routes into
boundary lines. You can create a boundary area using
waypoints by creating a route from the waypoints, and
converting the route into a boundary line.
You can select a boundary to act as the active boundary. You
can add the active boundary data to the data fields on the chart.

When properly connected to a compatible transducer, your
chartplotter can be used as a fishfinder.
For more information about which transducer is best for your
needs, go to garmin.com/transducers.
Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area. The
sonar views available vary depending on the type of transducer
and sounder module connected to the chartplotter. For example,
you can view certain Panoptix sonar screens only if you have a
compatible Panoptix transducer connected.
There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a full-
screen view, a split-screen view that combines two or more
views, a split-zoom view, and a split-frequency view that
displays two different frequencies. You can customize the
settings for each view in the screen. For example, if you are
viewing the split-frequency view, you can separately adjust the
gain for each frequency.
If you do not see an arrangement of sonar views to suit your
needs, you can create a custom combination screen
