Almanac, Environmental, and On-boat Data
Various sensors, transducers, or antennas are required to capture the data displayed on the graphs.
For information about connecting the chartplotter to peripheral devices using a NMEA 2000
network, see Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products, on the included CD.
Configuring a Graph
You can set the scale and duration of each graph. The duration represents the time interval that
appears on the graph, and the scale represents the range of the measured data that appears on the
graph, including specific maximum and minimum values.
1. From the Home screen, select
Information > Graphs .
2. Select a type of graph (Wind Speed, Wind Angle, temperature, Atmo. Pressure, or Depth).
3. Select
Graph Setup .
4. Complete an action:
Select Duration , and select Up or Down to set the duration.
Select Scale . Select Up , Down , or Auto . When you select Auto, the chartplotter sets the
optimal minimum and maximum values for the range, based on environmental conditions.
When the chartplotter receives new data about environmental conditions, it adjusts the scale
automatically.
Select
Reset Scale to allow the chartplotter to set the optimal minimum and maximum values
for the range, based on environmental conditions.

on the wind speed graph.
Wind Speed Description Required Sensors
Apparent Wind Shows wind speed data based on the flow of
air experienced while on a boat in motion.
A wind sensor.
True Wind Shows wind speed data based on the flow of
air experienced while on a stationary boat.
For the most accurate data, the Wind Speed
Source setting should be set to Auto
( page 59 ).
A wind sensor and a speed sensor; or a wind
sensor and a GPS antenna.
Ground Wind Shows wind speed data based on the flow of
air experienced while on shore.
A wind sensor, a water-speed sensor, a
heading sensor, and a GPS antenna; or a
wind sensor and a GPS antenna; or a wind
sensor, a water-speed sensor, and a heading
sensor.
1. From the Home screen, select Information > Graphs > Wind Speed .
2. Select the type of wind speed data included on the graph (Apparent Wind, true Wind, or
Ground Wind).
