GPS 17x (GPS Antenna)
Enabling and Disabling WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System)/EGNOS (Euro Geostationary
Navigation Overlay Service)
When enabled, WAAS/EGNOS provides more-accurate position information. For more information on WAAS/EGNOS, visit www.garmin.com.
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 conguration menu, select the GPS 17x device.
2. Select Cong > WAAS/EGNOS.
3. On a Garmin chartplotter, select On or Off.
Setting the Speed Filter
The speed lter setting on the GPS 17x can help reduce unnecessary drift alarm triggers as well as potentially sporadic position information.
The speed lter averages the data provided by the GPS 17x to provide smoother position data updates. The speed lter is most helpful when
stationary or in low-speed situations.
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 conguration menu, select the GPS 17x device.
2. Select Cong > Speed Filter.
3. Choose from the following options:
Off—position information from the GPS 17x is provided to the NMEA 2000 network as it is gathered.
On—position information from the GPS 17x is gathered and averaged before it is provided to the NMEA 2000 network. Select the interval
at which the position information is gathered.
Auto—the speed lter toggles on in low-speed situations and toggles off in high-speed situations.
Refreshing GPS Satellite Acquisition
In some situations, if you have moved the boat many miles without using the GPS 17x, for example, you can force the GPS 17x to re-initialize
and nd your current position.
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 conguration menu, select the GPS 17x device.
2. Select Cong > Auto Locate.
3. Wait for the GPS 17x to acquire satellites.
Restoring Factory Default Settings
You can restore factory default settings to the GPS 17x. You will lose all custom conguration settings when you restore factory default
settings.
To restore factory default settings:
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 conguration menu, select the GPS 17x device.
2. Select Cong > Factory Defaults.
