Sensors and GPS Data

Viewing the Data Pages

Customizable data pages allow you to quickly access real-time 

data for the compass, barometer, and temperature sensors. 

When you begin tracking or navigating, additional data pages 

appear.
Data pages can also show data streamed from your NMEA 

2000 network through a Garmin® GNT™.

From the time of day page, select   or   to cycle through 

the data pages.

NOTE: 

Sensor data is not recorded to the device.

Data Page Flows

By default, the time, compass, barometer, and temperature 

pages appear in all data page flows. The organization and 

appearance of other data pages depends on these conditions.
• The active profile.
• Whether you are tracking, navigating, or viewing only sensor 

data.

• Whether you are streaming NMEA 2000 data through a 

Garmin GNT.

The data fields on each page can be customized. Some data 

fields are available only when streaming NMEA 2000 data 

(

page 14

).

Turning On a Sensor Mode

The default sensor mode is on demand mode, which offers you 

quick access to compass, altimeter, barometer, or temperature 

data. You can also put the device in always on mode to display

Calibrating the Compass

NOTICE

Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading 

accuracy, do not stand near objects that influence magnetic 

fields, such as vehicles, buildings, and overhead power lines.

Your device was already calibrated at the factory, and the 

device uses automatic calibration by default. If you experience 

irregular compass behavior, for example, after moving long 

distances or after extreme temperature changes, you can 

manually calibrate the compass.
