Using the Marine Timer

The Marine Timer, specifically designed for sail boat racing, allows

you to easily count up or down by specified time increments. As

is common in sail boat racing, there is often a 5-minute warning

countdown, followed by a 4-minute preparation countdown, and

finally a 1-minute final countdown. Then during the race, mariners

might want to count up to keep track of their time.
You can use your GPSMAP 378/478 to perform each of these

different countdowns.

To open the Marine Timer:

1. Press

MENU on the Compass Page.

2. Highlight

Set Up Page Layout, and press ENTER.

3. Highlight

2 Columns With Timer, and press ENTER. The

Marine Timer appears in the lower-right corner.
