Garmin GPSMAP 17, Quick Start Manual

Introduction

Cautions

The GPS system is operated by the government of the 

United States which is solely responsible for their accuracy 
and maintenance. The Global Positioning System and the 
Differential Global Positioning System are under develop-
ment and are subject to changes which could affect accuracy 
and performance of all GPS equipment. Although a GPS 
system is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), 
any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted, and therefore 
become unsafe. Use the GPS system at your own risk. To 
reduce this risk, carefully review and understand all aspects 
of this Quick Start Guide and carefully compare indications 
from your display to all available navigation sources includ-
ing the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, 
charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before 
continuing navigation.

rules. Operation of this device is subject to the following 
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful inter-
ference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
