Configuring The Video Appearance; Camera Tracking - Garmin GPSMAP 12 3 Series Owner's Manual

Controlling a Video Camera Using Gestures
When a networked video camera supports gesture responses, you can control pan-tilt-zoom cameras using
gestures directly on the chartplotter screen. Check your camera user manual for a list of available features.
TIP: Using gestures allows video control without displaying the video controls.
1 From a video screen, touch the screen.
2 Select an option:
• To zoom in and out with the camera, use pinch and zoom gestures.
• To pan or tilt the camera, swipe the screen in the desired direction.

Configuring the Video Appearance

Camera Tracking

When connected to the proper cameras, these GPSMAP chartplotter models support camera tracking.
• 8600
• 8700
• 7x3 / 9x3 / 12x3
• 10x2 / 12x2 Keyed
• 12x2 Touch
You can use the camera tracking feature either to hold the camera on a fixed compass direction (Compass
Lock) or to lock onto a specific vessel or target location (Vessel Lock), also known as slew-to-cue.
To use the camera tracking features, you must connect specific sensors and cameras to the chartplotter using
the Garmin Marine Network or the NMEA 2000 network.
To support Compass Lock, you must connect these sensors and cameras.
• A tracking-capable marine camera such as a newer model FLIR IP video camera
• A GPS antenna
• A heading sensor
NOTE: For the best camera tracking performance, the heading sensor should provide 9-axis data including
yaw, pitch, and roll.
In addition to the sensors and cameras needed to support Compass Lock, you must connect these additional
devices to the Garmin Marine Network to support Vessel Lock.
• To track vessels or targets using MARPA, you must connect a compatible radar device.
• To track vessels or targets using AIS, you must connect a compatible AIS receiver.
