Important Information MAP DA T A INFORMA TION: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. W e use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer .
G ettInG S t arted Unit Overview The GPSMAP 378/478 is an all-in-one, versatile color chartplotter and automobile navigator—perfect for land or water .
Charging the GPSMAP 378/478 Before using the GPSMAP 378/478, you might need to charge the battery . Plug the power cable into an external power source to charge.

Highlight the Display sub tab. Display Sub T ab Scale —select how and where you want the depth scale to appear .
V iewing the T emperature Use the T emperature sub tab to view a graph of water temperature changes over a period of time. The graph reads from right to left so that the most recent temperature measured appears on the far right side of the graph. The dotted lines within the graph indicate intervals in the temperature scale and the duration of time.
Understanding Sonar The transducer mounted on your vessel transmits sound waves toward the bottom of the water in a cone-shaped pattern. When a transmitted sound wave strikes an underwater object—such as the bottom, a structure, or a sh—sound is reected back to the transducer .
Transducer Coverage The area covered by the transmitted sound waves is determined by the cone angle of the transducer and the water depth. The wide cone angles (40°) associated with low frequencies (50 kHz) provide a large coverage area for nding sh within a coverage width that is approximately 2/3 of the water depth.
Whiteline The GSD 21 Sounder Module can help you determine whether the bottom is hard or soft. When the sonar sound waves are reected back by the bottom, a hard bottom returns a stronger signal than a soft bottom. A thin whiteline indicates a softer bottom, while a thick whiteline indicates a harder bottom.

Map Datums and Location Formats Map Datums are based on a mathematical model of the Earth. What Are a Map Datums? A datum is a mathematical model of the Earth that approximates the shape of the Earth and enables calculations to be carried out in a consistent and accurate manner .
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) DSC uses marine VHF radio GPS technologies to transmit and receive location information. DSC is used by mariners to assist them in two major areas: distress calls and position reporting. A non-emergency DSC position report allows mariners to exchange and show the positions of one another .
How Are MMSI Assignments Obtained? Non-commercial users, such as recreational users, who remain in United States waters and only carry VHF , EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons), and Radar are not required to have a FCC ship station license.
