MANUAL
Welcome to the easiest-to-use fixed-mount GPS on the water! The GPS
126 and GPS 128 represent GARMIN’s continuing commitment to provide
mariners with quality navigation information in a versatile, accurate, and
user-friendly design which will be useful for years to come. Due to the simi-
larity between the GPS 126 and GPS 128, we have addressed both units in
one manual. This manual is organized into four sections for your conve-
nience:
Introduction gives a quick overview of the manual and contains the
table of contents and glossary of navigation terms.
Getting Started introduces you to the basic features of the unit with a
quick-start orientation to the GPS 126/128. This section has been designed to
acquaint you with the unit and provide a basic working knowledge necessary
to use the unit in typical conditions.
Reference provides detailed explanations of advanced features and oper-
ations in a topical format. This allows you to concentrate on a specific topic
quickly, without reading through sections of text that you may not need.
The Appendix section contains step by step instructions on how to ini-
tialize the unit for first time use, installation instructions and items with mul-
tiple listings, such as: map datums, time offsets, and the index.
