Sonar Sharing

Two ECHOMAP UHD2 devices connected over the Wi‑Fi network can share sonar (Connecting Two ECHOMAP

UHD2 Devices to Share User Data and Sonar, page11).

If both of the ECHOMAP UHD2 devices have a transducer connected, each device uses its own sonar source

automatically. You can switch the sonar source manually to the other device (Selecting a Sonar Source,

page43).

If only one ECHOMAP UHD2 device has a transducer connected, that device is the sonar source for both

devices.

Troubleshooting the Wireless Connection

If you cannot connect two ECHOMAP UHD2 devices, check the following items and try again.

• If you are connecting a ECHOMAP UHD2 6/7/9 sv device and a ECHOMAP UHD2 5/7 cv device, you must set

up the ECHOMAP UHD2 6/7/9 sv as the network host. A ECHOMAP UHD2 6/7/9 sv device cannot connect to

a ECHOMAP UHD2 5/7 cv device set up as the host.

• Ensure the two devices are within range (32m (105ft.)).

• Check for signal obstructions between the devices, especially metal.

• Turn the devices off and on again, and try to connect again.

Connecting a Wireless Device to the Chartplotter

Before you can connect a wireless device to the chartplotter wireless network, you must configure the

chartplotter wireless network (Setting Up the Wi‑Fi Network, page11).

You can connect multiple wireless devices to the chartplotter to share data.

1 From the wireless device, turn on the Wi‑Fi technology and search for wireless networks.

2 Select the name of your chartplotter wireless network (Setting Up the Wi‑Fi Network, page11).

3 Enter the chartplotter password.

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 > 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 > 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.
