1. Connect the tank sensors to your GX device.
2. Make sure the tank sensors are set to a fluid type supported by your MFD.
This is done in the setup menu of the tank sensor in the Remote Console - Device List → [your_tank_sensor] → Setup →
Fluid type
3. On your Axiom MFD, go to Settings > Boat Details > Tanks > Configure Tanks and verify that all tank sensors are listed.
By briefly tapping on the respective tank, you can change the tank to a meaningful name, which then will
be displayed on the dashboard.
4. Open the TANKS dashboard or set up a new page to view the tanks.
By long tapping on one of the tanks you can make further configurations, e.g. select the tank to be displayed or, if available,
change the unit from percent to volume.
14.5. Configuration of multiple tank level measurements via NMEA2000-out for
Garmin MFDs
Modern Garmin MFDs such as the GPSMAP 84xx series are capable of displaying different types of tank levels.
The following restrictions apply:
1. Currently, the GPSMAP can only display Fuel (default), Fresh Water, Waste Water aka Grey Water, Live Well, Oil, Black
Water and Generator fluid types. The other fluid types such as LNG, LPG and Diesel are not displayed. This is a Garmin
limitation, which may change with a future firmware updates of your MFD.
However, it is possible to configure a specific tank sender's fluid type in the GX device menu to one of the supported ones,
and then rename the tank in the GPSMAP tank settings to whatever you like, e.g. LPG, which is then displayed as LPG tank
on the dashboard.
