Garmin GPSMAP 8000 Manuale Utente

• Go to 

.

• Keep the original sales receipt, or a photocopy, in a safe 

place.

Your chartplotter can be used to monitor or control circuits when 

a compatible system is connected.
For example, you can control the interior lights and navigation 

lights on the vessel. You can also monitor live well circuits.
To access the digital switching controls, select Info > Circuit 

Control.
For more information about purchasing and configuring a digital 

switching system, contact your Garmin dealer.

For certain installation situations, you can rotate the orientation 

of the GRID joystick.

Select Settings > Communications > Marine Network.

Select the GRID device.

Cleaners containing ammonia will harm the anti-reflective 

coating.

The device is coated with a special anti-reflective coating which 

is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners.

Apply an eyeglass lens cleaner specified as safe for anti-

reflective coatings to the cloth.

Gently wipe the screen with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.

You can capture a screenshot of any screen shown on your 

chartplotter as a bitmap (.bmp) file. You can transfer the 

screenshot to your computer.

Insert a memory card into the card slot.

Select Settings > Preferences > Screenshot Capture > 

On.

Go to a screen you want to capture.

Hold Home for at least six seconds.

Remove the memory card from the chartplotter, and insert it 

into a card reader that is attached to a computer.

From Windows® Explorer, open the Garmin\scrn folder on 

the memory card.

Copy a .bmp file from the card and paste it to any location on 

the computer.

If the device is not acquiring satellite signals, there could be few 

causes. If the device has moved a large distance since the last 

time it has acquired satellites or has been turned off for longer 

than a few weeks or months, the device may not be able to 

acquire the satellites correctly.
• Ensure the device is using the latest software. If not, update 

the device software (

).

• If the device is using an internal GPS antenna, make sure 

the device has a clear view of the sky so that the internal 

antenna can receive the GPS signal. If it is mounted inside of 

a cabin, it should be close to a window so it can receive the 

GPS signal. If the device is mounted inside a cabin and 

cannot be placed in a location where the device can acquire 

satellites, use an external GPS antenna.

• If the device is using an external GPS antenna, make sure 

the antenna is connected to the chartplotter or the NMEA 

network.

• If the device has more than one GPS antenna source, select 

).

Devices erratically turning off or not turning on could indicate an 

issue with the power supplied to the device. Check these items 

to attempt to troubleshoot the cause of the power issue.
• Make sure the power source is generating power.

You can check this several ways. For example, you can 

check whether other devices powered by the source are 

functioning.

• Check the fuse in the power cable.

The fuse should be located in a holder that is part of the red 

wire of the power cable. A 3 Amp fuse is used in this power 

cable. Check the fuse to make sure there is still a connection 

inside of the fuse. You can test the fuse using a multimeter. If 

the fuse is good, the multimeter reads 0 ohms.

• Check to make sure the device is receiving is at least 10 

volts, but 12 volts is recommended.
To check the voltage, measure the female sockets 8 (power) 

and 2 (ground) of the power cable for DC voltage. If the 

voltage is less than 10 volts, the device will not turn on.

• If the device is receiving enough power but does not turn on, 

contact Garmin product support at 

.

You can manually enter a waypoint location to transfer and 

share data from one device to the next. If you have manually 

entered a waypoint using coordinates, and the location of the 

point does not appear where the point should be, the map 

datum and position format of the device may not match the map 

datum and position format originally used to mark the waypoint.
Position format is the way in which the GPS receiver's position 

appears on the screen. Commonly displayed as latitude/

longitude in degrees and minutes, with options for degrees, 

minutes and second, degrees only, or one of several grid 

formats.
Map datum is a math model which depicts a part of the surface 

of the earth. Latitude and longitude lines on a paper map are 

referenced to a specific map datum.

Find out which map datum and position format was used 

when the original waypoint was created.
If the original waypoint was taken from a map, there should 

be a legend on the map that lists the map datum and position 

format used to create that map. Most often this is found near 

the map key.

On the chartplotter, select Settings > Preferences > Units.

Select the correct map datum and position format settings.

Create the waypoint again.
