Conguring the Device
Use the Congure screen to congure device settings.
Conguring System Settings
From the Home screen, select Congure > System.
Simulator—turn Simulator mode On or Off. Select Setup to set Simulator options. (If you set the
chartplotter to a Store Demonstration mode during the initial device setup, this setting will be named
Demo.)
Auto Power Up (GPSMAP 4210 only)—turn Auto Power Up On or Off. When On is selected, the
chartplotter automatically will turn on whenever power is applied, unless the chartplotter is turned
off with the Power key before power is lost.
Beeper/Display—set Beeper options, Backlight, and Color mode.
Beeper—select Beeper to set when the chartplotter makes audible sounds. The settings are Off,
Alarms Only
(default), and Key and Alarm.
Backlight—select Backlight to adjust the intensity of the backlight. Select Auto to allow the
chartplotter to automatically adjust the backlight based on ambient light.
Color Mode—select Color Mode to select Day Colors or Night Colors, or select Auto to allow
the chartplotter to adjust the colors.
Screenshot Capture—turn the screenshot capture feature on or off (page 68).
GPS—view GPS satellites.
System Information—view system information, restore factory settings, view the status of
networked devices (page 42), and display the event log. The event log displays a list of system
events. Select the event to view additional information. The Save to Card option is provided as a
troubleshooting tool; a Garmin Product Support representative may ask you to use this to retrieve
data about the marine network.
Radar Diagnostics (if radar is connected)—a troubleshooting tool used by installers.
Changing the System Language
1. From the Home screen, select Congure > Preferences > Language.
2. Select the language.
Conguring Navigation Preferences
From the Home screen, select Congure > Preferences > Navigation.
Route Labels—for saved routes, this determines whether route turns are indicated by number (Turn
1, Turn 2, and so on) or by waypoint name, or whether the description of turns is hidden.
Turn Transition—set how much time or how far before a turn in a route that you transition to the
next leg. Raising this value can help improve the accuracy of the autopilot when navigating a route
or automatic-guidance line with many frequent turns or at higher speeds. For straighter routes or
slower speeds, lowering this value can improve autopilot accuracy.
Speed Sources—specify the sensor used for Wind numbers and Fuel Economy. Select Wind or Fuel
Economy to toggle between Water (from a water-speed sensor) and GPS (from the calculated GPS
speed).
