GPSMAP 182/182C/232 Getting Started Tour
The Garmin GPSMAP 182/182C/232 is a powerful electronic navigation system that provides
detailed map coverage and convenient control of many advanced features right from the screen display.
This tour is designed to take you through the basic pages and functions of the system using the simula-
tor mode. Once you’re familiar with the main pages and functions of the unit, refer to the reference sec-
tion for instructions on performing specific tasks and functions. For GSD 20 sonar related operations,
refer to “GSD 20 Sounder Module with Garmin Chartplotters” (190-00241-03).
The Getting Started Tour assumes that the receiver has been properly installed and initialized, and
you have not changed any of the default unit settings. If you have changed any settings (position for-
mats, units of measure, etc.), the descriptions and pictures in the tour may not match your configura-
tion.
To turn the GPSMAP 182/182C/232 on:
1. Press and hold the POWER key until the power tone sounds, then release the POWER key. The
Warning Page will appear while the unit conducts a self-test.
2. Once the self-test is complete, press the ENTER/MARK key, if you agree, to acknowledge the
warning.
The GPS Information Page will appear as the receiver begins acquiring satellites. From this or any
other page, you may also adjust the screen backlighting.
The GPSMAP 182/182C/232’s adjustable screen backlighting is controlled with the POWER key,
and may be adjusted at any time from any page. The backlight can cycle through minimum, user-
defined, and maximum backlight levels by repeatedly pressing the POWER key.
To adjust the backlighting:
1. Press POWER and the Light window will appear.
2. Press POWER again and the user-defined level of backlighting will activate. You may adjust this
level by pressing UP or DOWN on the ARROW KEYPAD. If you press POWER one more time, the
backlighting will be at the maximum setting.
3. Press ENTER/MARK or QUIT when done.
Press UP or DOWN on the
ARROW KEYPAD to move
the backlighting slider up for
brighter or down for dimmer
backlighting. (182C shown)
