GPSMAP 130 Getting Started Tour

The GARMIN GPSMAP 130 is a powerful electronic charting/navigating system

that provides detailed chart coverage and convenient control of many advanced

features right from the map display. This tour is designed to take you through the

basic pages and functions of the system using the simulator 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.

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 formats, units of measure, etc.), the descrip-

tions and pictures in the tour may not match your configuration.

To turn the GPSMAP 130 on:

1. Press and hold the

key until the power tone sounds. The welcome page will appear

while the unit conducts a self test.

2. Once the self test is complete, press the

key to acknowledge the mariner’s warning.

The satellite status page will appear, and the receiver will begin to acquire satel-

lites. From the status page, you may also quickly adjust the screen contrast and

backlighting.

To adjust the screen contrast:

1. To increase the screen contrast, press the right arrow of the

keypad.

2. To decrease the screen contrast, press the left arrow of the

keypad.

3. Press the

key to finish.

The GPSMAP 130’s three-level screen backlighting is controlled with

key,

and may be adjusted at any time from any page.
