If the active GRI Chain, secondary stations, or offsets were changed since the

waypoint was created, the waypoint now references the active GRI-chain and

secondary stations and adjusts the TD coordinates accordingly. Remember that

the GPS is not relying on the LORAN signal for navigation and actually converts

the TD coordinate to a useful latitude/longitude coordinate (in the background)

before storing the waypoint to memory or using it for navigation. Because of this,

the unit can navigate to a TD coordinate anywhere in the world.
For more information on LORAN TDs, you can download Garmin’s Loran TD

Position Format Handbook from the Garmin Web site.

Caring for the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C

The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C case is constructed of high-quality materials and

does not require user maintenance except cleaning.

Cleaning the Case

Clean the unit’s outer casing (except for the screen) using a cloth dampened with

a mild detergent solution. Wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that

may damage plastic components.

Cleaning the Screen

The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C lens is coated with a special anti-reflective coating

that is sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. Cleaners containing

ammonia, alcohol, abrasives, or anti-grease detergents will harm the anti-

reflective coating. It is important to clean the lens using an eyeglass lens cleaner

that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings and a clean, lint-free cloth.

Storage

Do not store the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C where prolonged exposure to extreme

temperatures may occur (such as in the trunk of a car) because permanent damage

may result. User information, such as waypoints and routes, are retained in the

unit’s memory without the need for external power. It is always a good practice

to back up important user data by manually recording it, loading it to a computer

(transferring it to MapSource), or storing it on a data card.

Water Immersion

The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C

is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7. It can

withstand immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Prolonged submersion

can cause damage to the unit. After submersion, be certain to wipe and air dry the

unit before reuse.
