Configuring Other Vessels
NOTE: To configure AIS or DSC information for other boats, your chartplotter must be connected to an external Automatic Identification System (AIS) or Digital Selective Calling (DSC) device.
From the Home screen, select Configure > Other Vessels. AISturn AIS on or off. AIS alerts you to area traffic by providing boat IDs, position, course, and speed for boats equipped with a transponder. DSCturn DSC on or off. Collision Alarm (AIS and MARPA only)turn a safe zone around your boat on or off. This is used for collision avoidance, and can be customized.
To customize safe-zone settings: 1. From the Home screen, select Configure > Other Vessels > Collision Alarm. 2. Select one or both of the following options: Select Range to change the measured radius of the safe-zone ring to a specified distance, from 500ft. to 2.0 nm (or from 150 m to 3.0 km, or from 500 ft. to 2.0 mi.). Select Time To (Safe Zone) to sound an alarm if Automatic Identification System (AIS) or Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) determines that a target will intersect the Safe Zone within the defined time interval (ranging from 1 to 24 minutes).

Configuring XM Audio

Note: You must connect optional Garmin XM equipment (such as a GDL 30A XM receiver) to the Garmin Marine Network, and have a subscription to XM Radio to use XM audio features. For more information, see page 58.
From the Home screen, select Configure > XM Audio.

Marine Network

Using the Marine Network
The Garmin Marine Network allows you to share data from Garmin peripheral devices to Garmin chartplotters quickly and easily. You can connect your GPSMAP 4000 series chartplotter to a Garmin Marine Network to receive data from and to share data with other Marine Networkcompatible devices and chartplotters. With the Garmin Marine Network, you can: Share GPS data from a GPS 17 or GPS 17x antenna wired to one chartplotter with every chartplotter connected to the Garmin Marine Network. Share NMEA 0183 data from devices wired to one chartplotter, with every chartplotter connected to the Marine Network.
