7 MMC This unit can use up to two MMC (MultiMediaCard) cartridges. They store the maps, waypoint and route information, sonar data, and more. T o install a MMC cartridge, twist the drawer retainer counter-clockwise and pull. The drawer will come out of the unit.
8 KEYBOARD The keyboard has keys arranged in two vertical columns beneath the arrow keys. The menu key near the bottom left corner of the keyboard activates the first menu page. The other keys are used to zoom the dis- play , change modes, and other functions.
9 SONAR OPERA TION P AGES T urn the unit on by pressing the PWR/LIGHT key . If the sonar screen is not showing, press the P AGES key . A menu similar to the one at right appears.
10 Split Zoom Sonar Chart A split chart shows the underwa- ter world from the surface to the bottom on the right side of the screen. The left side shows an enlarged version of the right side. The zoom range shows at the bottom left corner of the screen.
11 Customizing the Digital/Chart Screen The Digital/Chart screen can be customized to show different digi- tal data than the defaults shown on the screen at the bottom of page 8. T o customize this screen, press the MENU key while the Digital/Chart screen is showing.
12 SONAR OPTIONS Sensitivity The sensitivity controls the ability of the unit to pick up echoes. A low sensitivity level excludes much of the bottom information, fish signals, and other target information. High sensitivity levels let you see this detail, but it can also clutter the screen with many undesired signals.
13 select “Auto Sensitivity” and press the ENT key . T o turn it off, repeat the above steps. Press the EXIT key to erase the menu. COLORLINE Colorline lets you distinguish between strong and weak echoes. It “paints” gray on targets that are stronger than a preset value.
14 range that’s highlighted. The range numbers that are gray cannot be se- lected. When you’re finished, press the EXIT key to erase the menu. RANGE - Manual Y ou have complete control over the range when the unit is in the manual mode.
15 tom can be shown, which enlarges targets to best suit your fishing needs and water conditions. ZOOM “Zooming” the display is a com- mon method used to enlarge small detail, fish signals, and the bottom with its asscociated struc- ture. This unit lets you zoom the display quickly and easily by pressing the ZIN key .
16 The cursor can be moved to any location on the screen, letting you pinpoint the depth of a target. T o show the depth cursor , press the MENU key , then select “Depth Cursor”. Press the ENT key . The cursor appears at the top of the screen. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the desired depth.
17 T ransducer Frequency This unit operates from both 200 kHz and 50 kHz. The default frequency is 200 kHz. It’s best for use in shallow water . The 50 kHz frequency is best for deep water , especially saltwater . Use the arrow keys to highlight the desired frequency , then press the ENT key to select it.
18 SONAR FEA TURES (cont.) Fish Symbols The Fish Symbols feature identi- fies targets that meet certain con- ditions as fish. The microcom- puter analyses all echoes and eliminates surface clutter , ther- moclines, and other signals that are undesirable.
19 LOG SONAR CHART DA T A If you have a MMC installed in the unit, the sonar data shown on the screen can be saved to the MMC. This can be played back using the sonar simulator at any time. T o save the chart data, press the MENU key , then select “Log So- nar Chart Data”.
20 AUDIO The various sounds that the unit makes can be customized to your own taste. Press the MENU key twice , then select “Sounds” from the main menu. The screen at right appears. The volume control on the right side of the menu adjusts the au- dio level for all sounds.
21 DEPTH ALARMS The depth alarms sound a tone when the bottom signal goes shallower than the shallow alarm’s setting or deeper than the deep alarm’ s setting. For example, if you set the shallow alarm to ten feet, the alarm will sound a tone if the bottom signal is less than ten feet.
22 highlight the “Enabled” box in the Zone Alarm box, then press the ENT key . T o adjust the zone alarm, highlight the “Adjust Zone” label, then press the ENT key . A screen similar to the one at right appears. The zone alarm bar shows on the screen to the right of the zoom bar .
23 Keel Offset Normally , this unit measures water depth from the face of the transducer . Since the transducer is below the surface of the water , this distance is not the exact water depth. If the transducer is one foot below the surface, and the screen shows the water depth as 30 feet, then the depth is actually 31 feet.
24 speed sensor input - not the GPS. This distance (called W ater Distance) can be reset to zero using the “Reset W ater Distance” label on the “Sonar Setup” menu. Simply highlight “Reset W ater Distance” and press the ENT key . The menus automatically erase and the water distance display is reset to 0.
25 T o change the units, select “Units of Measure” from the “System Setup” menu. Highlight the de- sired label with the arrow keys, then press the ENT key to change it.
26 If you have any other Magnavox or Starlink compatible DGPS receiver connected to this unit, (including a Lowrance DGPS receiver) you may need to change the settings. T o do this, select “Configure DGPS” Configure DGPS This unit will recognize Starlink® and Magnavox® automatic DGPS receivers.
27 Note: Reset Options does not erase any waypoints, routes, or plot trails. Popup Help Help is available for virtually all of the menu labels on this unit. By high- lighting a menu item and leaving it highlighted for a few seconds, a “popup” message appears that describes the function of the the menu item.
28 ferent location, select “Choose Position” and enter the new position. The unit recalculates the sun and moon data for the location that you entered.
29 The system requires three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevation (your height above sea level - also called altitude.) This is called a 3D fix. Remember , the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to receive their signals.
30 FINDING YOUR POSITION Auto Search T o lock onto the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know it’s current position, UTC time, and date. (Elevation (altitude) is also used in the equa- tion, but it’s rarely required to determine a position.) It needs this data so that it can calculate which satellites should be in view .
31 right appears. Now press the MENU key . Select “INITIALIZE GPS”. A screen similar to the one below right appears. Use the ar- row keys to move the crosshairs to your approximate location on the map. Y ou can use the ZIN and ZOUT keys to enlarge the map which makes it easier and faster to find your location.
32 tude is flashing, simply ignore the altitude display until it quits flashing.) REMEMBER, DO NOT NA VIGA TE WITH THIS UNIT UNTIL THE NUM- BERS STOP FLASHING! Require DGPS Normally , the unit will flash the position and navigation data when it loses the satellite fix, but it does not flash the data when it loses the DGPS fix.
33 The GPS receiver is tracking satellites that are in bold type. The receiver hasn’t locked onto a satellite if the number is grayed out, therefore it isn’t being used to solve the position. Beneath the circular graph are the bar graphs, one for each satellite in view .
34 When navigating to a waypoint, the Navigation screen looks like the one at right. Y our ground speed, track, distance and bear- ing to waypoint, and course are all shown digitally on this screen. Closing speed is also known as velocity made good. It’s the speed that you’re making towards the waypoint.
35 (Note: Maps must be downloaded from a MapCreate™ CD-ROM onto a MMC. The MMC must be installed into the unit before maps will show on the screen. If your unit came with a MMC, MMC Interface, and CD-ROM, then follow the instructions in the separate booklet.
36 “T wo Position Formats” is similar to “Digital Data”, except it adds two present position boxes, one showing latitude/longitude and the other shows the present po- sition in UTM. “T wo Maps” shows two maps side-by-side. Y ou can customized each map with different settings.
37 T o turn the cursor on, simply press the arrow key in the direc- tion you want the cursor to move. This lets you view areas on the plotter that are away from your present position. The zoom-in and zoom-out keys work from the cursor ’s position when it’ s active - not the present position.
38 as the initial bearing to the waypoint. A “N” shows to help you see which direction is north when either the track-up or course-up mode is on. In the north-up view shown at right, we’re travelling southeast. In this view , the present position indicator appears to move to- wards the lower right side of the screen.
39 Auto Zoom This receiver has an autozoom feature that eliminates much of the button pushing that competitive units force you to make. It works in conjunction with the navigation features. First, recall a waypoint. (See the waypoint section for more information on navigating to a waypoint.
40 Map Categories Drawn This menu determines which of the mapping features are shown on the screen. This includes, waypoints, trails, icons, cities, highways, etc. Y ou can selectively turn on or off any of these items, customizing the map to your needs.

42 The list of saved trails shows on this screen. The check mark next to the trail’s name means that this trail is displayed on the map. An arrow on the right side of the screen points to the trail that’s currently in use, next to the num- ber of points in the trail.
43 Y ou can change this to the distance and bearing from one point to the next (leg), travel time to each point, or arrival time for each point. T o change this data, select “Display Data”, then press the ENT key . Select the de- sired data from the list and press the EXIT key .
44 T rail Options This menu lets you change the way the trail updates occur . The options are automatic, time, or distance. When it’s in the auto- matic mode, the unit doesn’t up- date the plot trail while you’re trav- elling in a straight line.
45 W A YPOINTS This GPS receiver gives you the ability to create your own database of locations, called “waypoints”. Y ou can save your present position, cursor position, or enter a coordinate and save it as a waypoint. For example, you may wish to store the location of your boat dock as a waypoint before starting on a trip.
46 Saving a New Position T o save a position other than the cursor ’s or the present position as a waypoint, first press the WPT key . The “Find W aypoint” menu appears. “My W aypoints” is high- lighted. Press the right arrow key to move to the Subcategory sec- tion.
47 A verage Position This feature averages your posi- tion. This helps to eliminate errors in the position due to atmospheric effects and other conditions. When the “Average Position” menu item is selected, a screen similar to the one at right appears.
48 “Edit W aypoint” returns the unit to the “Edit Waypoint” menu described on page 46. “Delete W aypoint” removes the waypoint from the list.
49 The box with the “S” in it was your starting location when the waypoint was recalled. The dotted line is called a course line and is the shortest path from the starting location to the destination. The “D” is the cursor destination, when the cursor position is used as a destination.
50 The Man Overboard symbol is also placed on the map screen in the appropriate location. Y ou can use the map screen to navi- gate to the Man Overboard loca- tion, if you so desire. T o stop the unit from showing navigation to the man overboard position, see the Cancel Naviga- tion section below .
51 Create a Route T o create a route, first press the MENU key twice , highlight the “Route Planning” label, and press the ENT key . The screen shown at right appears. This unit can store up to 100 routes. T o create a route, highlight “New Route” and press the ENT key .
52 so “Saved” was chosen. A new menu appears, letting you choose from the list of names or from the nearest waypoint to your present position. In this example, “Name” was chosen. The screen at right appears. Select the first waypoint for the route from the list and press the ENT key .
53 Follow a Route T o navigate a route, press the MENU key twice, then select “Route Planning”. Using the ar- row keys, highlight “Saved Routes” and press the ENT key . Select the desired route from the list. The “Edit Route” screen ap- pears next.

55 tems, you must be in the respective country . This unit will pick the match- ing datum for you when you select the grid. See the Datums section for more information. The military grid reference system (MGRS) uses two grid lettering schemes, which are referred to as standard and alternate MGRS on this unit.
56 measure up four inches and to the left a half-inch from the reference point on the map to find your location. T o use this format, you need to follow these steps in order . First, take your map of the area and determine a reference latitude/longitude.
57 world, or just a small portion. By default, your position shows using the WGS-84 datum. However , it can show your position using one of 191 different datums. T o change the datum, first press the MENU key , then highlight the “GPS Setup” label and press the ENT key .
58 ALARMS This unit has several GPS alarms. (Sonar alarms are covered in the sonar section of this manual.) Y ou can set an arrival alarm to flash a warn- ing message and sound a tone when you cross a preset distance from a waypoint. For example, if you have the arrival alarm set to .
59 T rip Calculator The Trip Calculator processes information on your current path and dis- plays it in an easy to read format. When activated, it shows your current, average, and maximum speed, trip time and distance. T o turn the Trip Calculator on, press the Menu key twice, then select “T rip Calculator”.
