Setup Menu — ‘Units’ Tab

The ‘Units’ Tab contains settings for Elevation, Depth, Distance and Speed, Tempera-

ture, Direction Display, and Speed Filter. These settings are used in related ﬁ elds through-

out the unit.

‘ Elevation’ —

Can be set to show in ‘Feet’ or ‘Meters’.

‘ Depth’ —

Can be set to display in ‘Feet’, ‘Fathoms’ and ‘Meters’. The GPS 72 cannot

measure depth on its own. The depth input has to come from a NMEA device provid-

ing the “DPT” or “DBT” sentence.

‘ Distance and Speed’ —

Can be set to ‘Nautical’, ‘Statute’ or ‘Metric’.

‘ Temperature’ —

Can be set to ‘Fahrenheit’ or ‘Celsius’.

‘ Direction Display’ —

Can be set to ‘Numeric Degrees’,‘Cardinal Letters’ or ‘Mils’. The

setting will be used in all ﬁ elds that relate to direction.

‘ Speed Filter’ —

Can be set to ‘Auto’ or a ‘User’ deﬁ ned setting. If ‘User’ is selected, a

Seconds ﬁ eld will be displayed. To enter a ‘User’ deﬁ ned setting, highlight the Seconds

ﬁ eld then press ENTER. When ﬁ nished, press ENTER to save the entry. When using

a ‘User’ deﬁ ned setting, the unit will average the speed and heading at the rate speciﬁ ed

in the time setting.

Setup Menu — ‘ Location’ Tab

The ‘Location’ Tab contains the settings for ‘Location Format’, ‘Map Datum’, ‘North

Reference’ and ‘Magnetic Variation’. The settings are used in ﬁ elds throughout the unit.

‘ Location Format’ —

There are 29 different formats to choose from. See the sidebar for

a list of the formats. You should not need to change the format from the default setting

unless you are using a chart or paper map for navigation. If so, select the format that

matches your chart or map.
