GMI™ 10 quick start manual
Introduction S ee the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information. The GMI™ 10 allows you to quickly view important information about your boat provided by connected sensors. Connected sensors transmit data to the GMI 10 using NMEA 2000® or NMEA 0183. To install your GMI 10, use the included installation instructions. For a list of compatible sensors and for more information about NMEA 2000, visit www.garmin.com.
Unit Overview Instrument screen Back Power Soft keys Power—press and hold to power the unit on and off. Press and quickly release to adjust display settings. Soft Keys—used to navigate the menus and select items on the GMI 10. Typically, the left and right soft keys cycle data on the instrument screen and navigate menu screens, and the center soft key selects highlighted items and opens the Menu. Back—used to move back one menu screen.
Using the GMI 10 Use the GMI 10 to view numerical data provided by connected sensors. Many data types can also be displayed as an analog gauge. The types of data available are determined by the sensors connected to the GMI 10 either through NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183. For example, when connected to a GPS antenna such as a GPS 17x, the GMI 10 can show GPS position, GPS heading (COG), GPS speed (SOG), average speed, maximum speed obtained, and distance traveled (trip odometer) information.
2. Choose from the categories listed below. • Surface—GPS or water speed, GPS heading or magnetic sensor heading, and odometer. • Water—depth and water temperature. • Fuel—level, rate, range, and economy. • Wind—wind speed and angle, ground wind speed and direction, wind velocity made good (VMG), race timer, wind and weather graphs, barometric pressure, and air temperature. • Engine—RPM, fuel flow, trim, temperature, pressure, voltage, hours, neutral indicator, and status indicators.
Changing Instrument Screen Options Data provided on an instrument screen is represented numerically. In many cases, a numerical value can be shown as an analog gauge or as a graph, and vice versa (not available on all instrument screens). To change the appearance of an instrument screen: • If the instrument screen is showing a number, select Menu > Show Gauge or Show Graph. • If the instrument screen is showing a gauge or a graph, select Menu > Show Number.
Understanding Custom Instrument Screens 2. Use the soft keys under the left and right arrows to cycle through the instrument screens available in the selected category. 3. Select Select to add a screen. • You can organize individual screens found in the predefined categories (for multiple instruments) to create your own customized collection of screens. • You can select the individual fields to show on each screen to create customized screens. To create the first custom instrument screen: 1.
To add additional custom instrument screens: 1. From the custom instrument screen, select Menu > Add Page > Custom Page. (If you have more than one custom instrument screen, this option will appear as Add/Remove Page.) 2. Select the number of fields you want to show on the custom instrument screen (1–4). Select the number of fields 3. Select the data type you would like to show in each field.
3. Select the data type you would like to show in each field. Note: You can create up to ten custom instrument screens and cycle through them. To ����������������������������� change a previously created custom instrument screen: 1. From the custom instrument screen you want to change, select Menu > Change Appearance. 2. Choose from the following options: • Select Change Page Layout to change the number of fields and data types in the fields.
Customizing �������� System Options Tip: You must have the appropriate sensors connected to view the information. 1. To customize system options on the GMI 10, from the instrument screen, select Menu > Setup > System. 2. For the listed options, select the appropriate settings or enter the necessary values. For example, you can select units of measure, language, enter total fuel capacity, and so on. To set the reference used to calculate heading information: 1.
To specify how the GMI 10 utilizes coordinates: Caution: Do not change the position format or map datum unless you are using a map or chart that specifies a different position format or map datum. 1. From the instrument screen, select Menu > Setup > System > Position. 2. Choose from the following options: • Position Format—change the coordinate style in which a given location reading appears. • Map Datum—change the coordinate system on which the position format is based.
Setting Alarms 1. To set alarms on the GMI 10, from the instrument screen, select Menu > Setup > Alarms. 2. Select from the following alarm types. Select On and enter an appropriate value. • Shallow Water—set an alarm to sound when the depth is less than the specified value. • Deep Water—set an alarm to sound when the depth is greater than the specified value. • Surface Temperature—set an alarm to sound when the transducer reports a temperature that is 2°F (1.1°C) above or below the specified temperature.
• High True Wind Speed—set an alarm to sound when the true wind speed is at or above the specified speed. • High Apparent Wind Angle—set an alarm to sound when the apparent wind angle is at or above the specified angle. • Low Apparent Wind Angle—set an alarm to sound when the apparent wind angle is at or above the specified angle. • Low True Wind Angle—set an alarm to sound when the true wind angle is at or below the specified angle.
Changing NMEA 2000 Device Options You can view information about your NMEA 2000 devices and change available device-specific options on the GMI 10. 1. From the instrument screen, select Menu > Setup > NMEA 2000 Devices. 2. You will see a list of all connected NMEA 2000 devices. Select a device to see information about the device, such as the software version and the serial number. Advanced Sensor Configuration 1. From the instrument screen, select Menu > Setup > NMEA 2000 Devices. 2.
Consult your Honda engine manual to determine if the engine is NMEA 2000 compatible. Lost Satellite Reception—a connected GPS antenna has lost satellite reception. System Alarms and Messages NMEA Depth Is Below Transducer—the NMEA depth input is using the DBT sentence which does not include keel offset. NOTE: There are several possible engine alarms. If the GMI 10 displays an engine alarm, contact your engine manufacturer.
Unable to Claim NMEA 2000 Address—there is a conflict between NMEA 2000 devices on the NMEA 2000 network. Water Speed Sensor Is Not Working—water speed calibration error – recalibrate the speed sensor. Contact Garmin Contact Garmin Product Support if you have any questions while using your GMI 10.
