Garmin GPSMAP 8000 Manuale Utente

more familiar destinations that require navigation through a 

narrow waterway.

Dock your vessel or drop the anchor.

Select Settings > Preferences > Navigation > Auto 

Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Normal.

Select a destination that you have navigated to previously.

Select Navigate To > Guide To.

Review the placement of the Auto Guidance line, and 

determine whether the line safely avoids known obstacles 

and the turns enable efficient travel.

Select an option:
• If the placement of the Auto Guidance line is satisfactory, 

select Menu > Navigation Options > Stop Navigation, 

and proceed to step 10.

• If the Auto Guidance line is too close to known obstacles, 

select Settings > Preferences > Navigation > Auto 

Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Far.

• If the turns in the Auto Guidance line are too wide, select 

Settings > Preferences > Navigation > Auto Guidance 

> Shoreline Distance > Near.

If you selected Near or Far in step 6, review the placement 

of the Auto Guidance line, and determine whether the line 

safely avoids known obstacles and the turns enable efficient 

travel.
Auto Guidance maintains a wide clearance from obstacles in 

open water, even if you set the Shoreline Distance setting to 

Near or Nearest. As a result, the chartplotter may not 

reposition the Auto Guidance line, unless the destination 

selected requires navigation through a narrow waterway.

Select an option:
• If the placement of the Auto Guidance line is satisfactory, 

select Menu > Stop Navigation, and proceed to step 10.

• If the Auto Guidance line is too close to known obstacles, 

select Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > 

Shoreline Distance > Farthest.

• If the turns in the Auto Guidance line are too wide, select 

Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline 

Distance > Nearest.

If you selected Nearest or Farthest in step 8, review the 

placement of the Auto Guidance line, and determine whether 

the line safely avoids known obstacles and the turns enable 

efficient travel.
Auto Guidance maintains a wide clearance from obstacles in 

open water, even if you set the Shoreline Distance setting to 

Near or Nearest. As a result, the chartplotter may not 

reposition the Auto Guidance line, unless the destination 

selected requires navigation through a narrow waterway.

Repeat steps 3 through 9 at least once more, using a 

different destination each time, until you are familiar with the 

functionality of the Shoreline Distance setting.

Output Sentences: See 

.

Posn Precision: Adjusts the number of digits to the right of the 

decimal point for transmission of NMEA output.

XTE Precision: Adjusts the number of digits to the right of the 

decimal point for NMEA crosstalk error output.

Waypoint IDs: Sets the device to transmit waypoint names or 

numbers via NMEA 0183 while navigating. Using numbers 

may resolve compatibility issues with older NMEA 0183 

autopilots.

Defaults: Restores the NMEA 0183 settings to the original 

factory defaults.

Diagnostics: Displays NMEA 0183 diagnostic information.

You can enable and disable NMEA 0183 output sentences.

Output Sentences.

Select an option.

Select one or more NMEA 0183 output sentences, and 

select Back.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 to enable or disable additional output 

sentences.

You can configure the communication format for each internal 

NMEA 0183 port when connecting your chartplotter to external 

NMEA 0183 devices, a computer, or other Garmin devices.

Select Settings > Communications > NMEA 0183 Setup > 

Port Types.

Select an input or output port.

Select a format:
• To support the input or output of standard NMEA 0183 

data, DSC, and sonar NMEA input support for the DPT, 

MTW, and VHW sentences, select NMEA Std..

• To support the input or output of standard NMEA 0183 

data for most AIS receivers, select NMEA High Speed.

• To support the input or output of Garmin proprietary data 

for interfacing with Garmin software, select Garmin.

Repeat steps 2–3 to configure additional input or output 

ports.

Select Settings > Communications > NMEA 2000 Setup.
Device List: Displays the devices connected to the network.
Label Devices: Changes the labels for available connected 

devices.

The Garmin Marine Network allows you to share data from 

Garmin peripheral devices with the chartplotters quickly and 

easily. You can connect a chartplotter to a Garmin Marine 

Network to receive data from and share data with other Garmin 

Marine Network-compatible devices and chartplotters.

Select Settings > Alarms > Navigation.
Arrival: Sets an alarm to sound when you are within a specified 

distance or time from a turn or a destination.

Anchor Drag: Sets an alarm to sound when you exceed a 

specified drift distance while anchored.

Off Course: Sets an alarm to sound when you are off course by 

a specified distance.

Alarm Clock: Sets an alarm clock.
Unit Voltage: Sets an alarm to sound when the battery reaches 

a specified low voltage.

GPS Accuracy: Sets an alarm to sound when the GPS location 

accuracy falls outside the user-defined value.
