gPsMAP 2106/2110

the GPSMAP 2106/2110 unit does not rely on the LORAN signal for navigation,

it can reference a different GRI chain or secondary stations and still navigate to

the location stored in memory. The LORAN Position Format field is located on

the Units sub tab on the Main Menu—System tab. The Loran TD Setup window

contains the fields to select the LORAN Chain Number, Primary and Secondary

Stations, and TD Offsets.

To set up LORAN TD from the Main Menu:

1. Using the

ROCKER, highlight the System tab, press right on the

ROCKER to highlight the Units sub tab. Highlight the Position Format

field, and press

ENTER.

2. Highlight

Loran TD, and press ENTER, and then highlight the Setup

button to the right, and press

ENTER again.

3. To change the settings of any of the five fields, highlight the field, press

ENTER, select the setting you want, and press ENTER again.

If the active GRI Chain, secondary stations, or offsets were changed since the

waypoint was created, the waypoint now references the active GRI-chain and

secondary stations and adjusts the TD coordinates accordingly. Remember that

the GPS is not relying on the LORAN signal for navigation and actually converts

the TD coordinate to a useful latitude/longitude coordinate before storing the

waypoint to memory or using it for navigation. Because of this, the unit can

navigate to a TD coordinate anywhere in the world.
For more information on LORAN TDs, you can download Garmin’s Loran TD

Position Format Handbook from the Garmin Web site.

Caring for the GPSMAP 2106/2110

The GPSMAP 2106/2110 case is constructed of high-quality materials and does

not require user maintenance except cleaning.

Cleaning the Case

Clean the unit’s outer casing (except for the screen) using a cloth dampened with

a mild detergent solution. Wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that

may damage plastic components.

Cleaning the Screen

The GPSMAP 2106/2110 lens is coated with a special anti-reflective coating

that is sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. Cleaners containing

ammonia, alcohol, abrasives, or anti-grease detergents will harm the anti-

reflective coating. It is important to clean the lens using an eyeglass lens cleaner

that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings and a clean, lint-free cloth.

Storage

Do not store the GPSMAP 2106/2110 where prolonged exposure to extreme

temperatures may occur (such as in the trunk of a car) because permanent damage

may result. User information, such as waypoints and routes, are retained in the

unit’s memory without the need for external power. It is always a good practice

to back up important user data by manually recording it, loading it to a computer

(transferring it to MapSource), or storing it on a data card.

Water Immersion

The GPSMAP 2106/2110

is waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7. It can

withstand immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Prolonged submersion

can cause damage to the unit. After submersion, be certain to wipe and air dry the

unit before reuse.
