Preferences Settings
Select Settings > Preferences.
Units: Sets units of measure.
Language: Sets the on-screen text language.
Navigation: Sets navigation preferences.
Filters: Smooths out the values shown in the data fields,
which can decrease the noise or show longer term
trends. Increasing the filter setting increases the
smoothing and decreasing it reduces the smoothing. A
filter setting of 0 will disable the filter and the value
shown will be the raw value from the source. You can
also synchronize these settings across all devices that
enable the Sync Filters setting.
Keyboard Layout: Arranges the keys on the on-screen
keyboard.
Screenshot Capture: Allows the device to save images
of the screen.
Menu Bar Display: Shows or automatically hides the

System Units: Sets the unit format for the device.
Variance: Sets the magnetic declination, the angle
between magnetic north and true north, for your
present location.
North Reference: Sets the direction references used in
calculating heading information. True sets geographic
north as the north reference. Grid sets grid north as the
north reference (000º). Magnetic sets the magnetic
north as the north reference.
Position Format: Sets the position format in which a
given location reading appears. Do not change this
setting unless you are using a map or chart that
specifies a different position format.
Map Datum: Sets the coordinate system on which the
map is structured. Do not change this setting unless
you are using a map or chart that specifies a different
map datum.
Time: Sets the time format, time zone, and daylight
saving time.
Navigation Settings
NOTE: Some settings and options require additional
charts or hardware.
Select Settings > Preferences > Navigation.
Route Labels: Sets the type of labels shown with route
turns on the map.
Turn Transition: Adjusts how the chartplotter transitions
to the next turn or leg or the route. You can set the
transition to be based on time or distance before the
turn. You can increase the time or distance value to
help improve the accuracy of the autopilot when
navigating a route or an Auto Guidance line with many
frequent turns or at higher speeds. For straighter
routes or slower speeds, lowering this value can
improve autopilot accuracy.
Speed Sources: Sets the source for the speed readings.
Auto Guidance: Sets the measurements for the
Preferred Depth, Vertical Clearance, and Shoreline
Distance, when you are using some premium maps.
Route Start: Selects a starting point for route navigation.
Auto Guidance Path Configurations
The Preferred Depth and Vertical Clearance settings
influence how the chartplotter calculates an Auto
Guidance path. If an area has an unknown water depth or
an unknown obstacle height, the Auto Guidance path is
not calculated in that area. If an area at the beginning or
the end of an Auto Guidance path is shallower than the
Preferred Depth or lower than the Vertical Clearance
settings, the Auto Guidance path may not be calculated in
that area, depending on the map data. On the chart, the
course through those areas appears as a gray line or a
magenta and gray striped line. When your boat enters
one of those areas, a warning message appears.
NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts,
in some areas.
