Satellite System
: Sets the satellite system to GPS only,
multiple satellite systems, or Demo Mode (GPS off).
Multi-Band
: Enables the use of multi-band systems on the
GPSMAP 65/65s device.
NOTE:
Multi-band systems use multiple frequency bands and
allow for more consistent track logs and improved positioning
when using the device in challenging environments.
GPS and Other Satellite Systems
Using GPS and another satellite system together offers
increased performance in challenging environments and faster
position acquisition than using GPS only. However, using
multiple systems can reduce battery life more quickly than using
GPS only.
Your device can use these Global Navigation Satellite Systems
(GNSS). Multi-band systems use multiple frequency bands and
allow for more consistent track logs, improved positioning,
improved multi-path errors, and fewer atmospheric errors when
using the device in challenging environments.
NOTE:
You can view satellite locations and available satellite
systems on the satellite page (

paper charts. Fishing (requires marine maps) displays a
detailed view of bottom contours and depth soundings and
simplifies map presentation for optimal use while fishing.
