Software Setup

The GO7 requires some initial configuration before use, in order to
get the most out of the product. The following sections focus on
settings that typically do not require change once configured. User
preference settings and operation are covered in the Operator
Manual. Selecting the Home button opens the Home page, which
has three distinct areas. The scrollable left column of icons is the
Tools panel and the icons access most settings that require
configuration.

First time startup

When the GO7 is started for the first time, or after a factory default,
the unit displays a setup wizard. Respond to the setup wizard
prompts to select some fundamental setup options.

Time and Date

Configure time settings to suit vessel location, along with time and
date formats.

Source selection

Data sources provide live data such as GPS position, heading, wind
speed, and temperature. The data may originate from modules
internal to the device (for example, internal GPS), or external
modules connected to the NMEA 2000 network. The internal virtual
devices typically include echo, MFD, Navigator, Pilot Controller, and
iGPS. When a device is connected to more than one source
providing the same data, the user has the flexibility to choose the
preferred source. Before commencing with source selection make
sure all external devices and the NMEA 2000 bus are connected and
are turned on.
Auto Select
The Auto Select option looks for all sources connected to the
device. If more than one source is available for each data type,
selection is made from an internal priority list. This option is suitable
for the majority of installations.
