Garmin GPSMAP 185 Sounder - Manual (Page 4)

The GPS system is operated by the United States government, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes
which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although
the GARMIN GPSMAP 185 Sounder is a precision electronic NAVigation AID

operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual—and
thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual use. When in
actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPSMAP 185 Sounder to all avail-
able navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual
sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing
navigation.
