Five pages are available in Marine Mode—Map, Compass,

Highway, Active Route, and Position Data. An optional XM Audio

Page can be enabled. And a Sonar Page is available when a GSD 20

or GSD 21 Sounder Module is connected.

Map Page

When you turn on the GPSMAP 376C, the Map Page appears after

the unit acquires a satellite signal. The position marker shows

your current location on the map.
The Map Page shows map information (digital cartography) that

includes navaids, lakes, rivers, coastlines, cities, and highways. Use

the dedicated zoom keys (IN and OUT) to adjust the Map Page

scale.
Two map operating modes, position mode and pan mode, determine

what cartography is shown on the map display. Position mode

pans the map to keep your present location in the display area.

The position marker shows your travel on the Map Page. The

GPSMAP 376C always turns on in position mode, with the last

known location centered on the map. When you press the ROCKER,

the GPSMAP 376C enters pan mode, which moves the map to keep

the white arrow (map pointer) within the display area.

The system has a built-in worldwide database, with more detailed

coverage available through the use of the BlueChart or MapSource

data. The GPSMAP 376C shows cartography as long as chart

information is available for the map zoom range you selected. In

Marine Mode, by default, four user-selectable data fields appear on

the right side of the screen that can be configured to show any one of

the possible data options. You can also add additional data fields to

the page or select a full screen map without data fields.
