Fill.

recorded. Recording more frequent plots is more accurate but 

fills the track log faster. The resolution interval is recommended 

for the most efficient use of memory.

course, select Resolution > Change, and enter the 

maximum error allowed from the true course before 

recording a track point.

Before you synchronize the user data across the network, you 

should backup your user data to prevent possible data loss. See 

You can share waypoints, tracks, and routes with all compatible 

devices connected to the Garmin Marine Network (Ethernet) 

automatically.

Select Settings > Preferences > User Data Sharing > On.

If a change is made to a waypoint, track, or route on one 

chartplotter, that data is synchronized automatically across all 

chartplotters on the Ethernet network.

Select Info > User Data > Clear User Data > All > OK.

If your vessel has an autopilot system, a dedicated autopilot 

control display must be installed at each steering helm in order 

to disable the autopilot system.
The Auto Guidance feature is based on electronic chart 

information. That data does not ensure obstacle and bottom 

clearance. Carefully compare the course to all visual sightings, 

and avoid any land, shallow water, or other obstacles that may 

be in your path.

NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in 

some areas.
NOTE: Mariner's Eye 3D and Fish Eye 3D chart views are 

available with premium charts, in some areas.
NOTE: The offshore Fishing chart is available with premium 

charts, in some areas.
To navigate, you must choose a destination, set a course or 

create a route, and follow the course or route. You can follow 

the course or the route on the Navigation chart, Fishing chart, 

Perspective 3D chart view, or Mariner’s Eye 3D chart view.
