Managing the Wi‑Fi Network
Changing the Wi‑Fi Host
If there are multiple chartplotters with Wi‑Fi technology on the Garmin marine network, you can change which
chartplotter is the Wi‑Fi host. This can be helpful if you are having trouble with Wi‑Fi communications. Changing
the Wi‑Fi host allows you to select a chartplotter that is physically closer to your mobile device.
1 Select Settings > Communications > Wi-Fi Network > Advanced > Wi-Fi Host.
2 Follow the on-screen instructions.
Changing the Wireless Channel
You can change the wireless channel if you have trouble finding or connecting to a device, or if you experience
interference.
1 Select Settings > Communications > Wi-Fi Network > Advanced > Channel.
2 Enter a new channel.
You do not need to change the wireless channel of devices connected to this network.
Wireless Wind Sensor
Connecting a Wireless Sensor to the Chartplotter
You can view data from a compatible wireless sensor on the chartplotter.
1 Select Settings > Communications > Wireless Devices.
2 Select the wind sensor.
3 Select Enable.
The chartplotter begins searching for and connecting to the wireless sensor.
To view data from the sensor, add the data to a data field or gauge.
Adjusting the Wind Sensor Orientation
You should adjust this setting if the sensor does not face the front of the boat, exactly parallel to the center line.
NOTE: The opening where the cable connects to the pole indicates the front of the sensor.
1 Estimate the angle, in degrees clockwise around the mast, by which the sensor points away from the center
of the front of the boat:
• If the sensor is facing starboard, the angle should be between 1 and 180 degrees.
• If the sensor is facing port, the angle should be between -1 and -180 degrees.
2 Select Settings > Communications > Wireless Devices.
3 Select the wind sensor.
4 Select Wind Angle Offset.
5 Enter the angle observed in step 1.
6 Select Done.
