to know the true depth of the water, measure the distance from the
transducer to the water line. Enter this value in as a negative number.
2 Select Settings > My Vessel > Depth and Anchoring > Keel Offset.
3 Select
if the transducer is installed at the water line, or select
transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel.
4 Use the arrow keys to enter the keel offset measured in step 1.

Setting the Water Temperature Offset

Before you can set the water temperature offset, you must have a NMEA
0183 water-temperature sensor or a temperature-capable transducer to
measure water temperature.
The temperature offset compensates for the temperature reading from a
temperature sensor.
1 Measure the water temperature using the temperature sensor or
temperature-capable transducer that is connected to the AQUAMAP.
2 Measure the water temperature using a different temperature sensor or a
thermometer that is known to be accurate.
3 Subtract the water temperature measured in step 1 from the water
temperature measured in step 2.
AQUAMAP™ 10x2/12x2 SERIES
This is the temperature offset. Enter this value in step 5 as a positive
number if the sensor connected to the AQUAMAP measures the water
temperature as being colder than it actually is. Enter this value in step 5
as a negative number if the sensor connected to the AQUAMAP measures
the water temperature as being warmer than it actually is.
4 Select Settings > My Vessel > Temp. Offset.
5 Enter the temperature offset calculated in step 3.

Calibrating a Water Speed Device

If you have a speed-sensing transducer connected to the AQUAMAP, you can
calibrate that speed-sensing device to improve the accuracy of water-speed
data displayed by the AQUAMAP.
1 Select Settings > My Vessel > Calibrate Water Speed.
2 Follow the on-screen instructions.
If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is not registering
if the
a speed, a message appears.
3 Select OK, and safely increase the boat speed.
4 If the message appears again, stop the boat, and ensure the speed-
sensor wheel is not stuck.
5 If the wheel turns freely, check the cable connections.
6 If you continue to get the message, contact Garmin product support.

Other Vessels Settings

When your compatible AQUAMAP is connected to an AIS device or VHF
radio, you can set up how other vessels are displayed on the AQUAMAP.
Select Settings > Other Vessels.
AIS: Enables and disables AIS signal reception.
DSC: Enables and disables digital selective calling (DSC).
Collision Alarm: Sets the collision alarm.
