•  You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. This device is a tool that will 

enhance your capability to operate your vessel� It does not relieve you from the responsibility of safely 

operating your vessel� Avoid navigational hazards and never leave the helm unattended� 

•  Use this device only as a navigational aid� Do not attempt to use the device for any purpose requiring precise 

measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography�

•  Always be prepared to promptly regain control of the vessel� Use caution near hazards in the water, such as 

docks, pilings and other vessels�

•  If the device has navigating capabilities, when navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the 

device to all available navigation sources, including information from visual sightings, local waterway rules and 

restrictions, and maps� For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing navigation�

•  If the device uses maps, use the electronic chart in the device only to facilitate, not to replace, the use of 

authorized government charts� Official government charts and notices to mariners contain all information 

needed to navigate safely�

•  If the device provides depth data, it should not be used as the primary means of preventing grounding or 

collision� Supplement depth data readings with information from applicable paper charts and visual indicators� 

Always operate the vessel at slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects� Failure to heed 

this warning could lead to vessel damage or personal injury�

•  If the device has video input capabilities, do not attempt to operate or watch video input while operating or 

navigating your vessel� Operating or watching the video input while the vessel is moving could cause an 

accident or collision resulting in property damage, serious injury, or death�

One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is 

available to us at a reasonable cost� We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we 

identify in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer� Virtually all data sources contain 

some inaccurate or incomplete data� In some countries, complete and accurate map information is either not 

available or is prohibitively expensive�
