TracBack Navigation (Navigating a Track)
The TracBack function allows you to retrace your path using the
track log automatically stored in the receiver’s memory. This
feature eliminates the need to store waypoints along the way.
TracBack routes are created by reducing your track log into a route
of up to 254 turns and activating an inverted route along those
points. When activated, a TracBack route leads you back to the
oldest stored track log point, so it’s a good idea to clear the existing
track log before you start your current trip.

database while they are in transit to the caller’s location.
DSC
The DSC tab on the Main Menu allows you to control and set up
the Digital Selective Calling (DSC) features on the GPSMAP 182/
182C.
A non-emergency DSC Position Report allows mariners to
exchange and display the positions of one another. When a DSC
position is received, the mariner can choose to create a waypoint or
to show the received location on an electronic map.
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) uses marine VHF radio and
Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies to transmit and
receive location information. The chartplotter repeats the call
properties received from the VHF radio on the chartplotter. The
GPSMAP 182/182C requires input from a DSC enabled VHF radio
to display position, and sound/display alerts from a Distress Call or
Position Report. Conversely, the VHF radio requires input from a
GPS to transmit position coordinates for a Distress Call or Position
Report. For connection information, refer to “Connecting the
Anytime a vessel receives a DSC call, they can store and quickly
navigate to that location using a Go To. This makes DSC a time
saver, especially in an emergency situation. To use DSC, a user
must first register their VHF radio with the FCC and receive a
Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number.
For more information about Digital Selective Calling and Maritime
“Appendix.”
An emergency DSC Distress Call allows a vessel in trouble
to transmit a substantial amount of information in a single
transmission or call, without the need for voice communication.
When any nearby rescuer receives the DSC signal, an alarm sounds
and they immediately receive the location of the caller. The rescuer
can then choose to navigate to the caller’s location to assist, or
forward the call on to the Coast Guard. When the Coast Guard
receives the call, they can immediately access the caller’s
Understanding Distress Calls
When the GPSMAP 182/182C receives a Distress Call from
a connected DSC-enabled VHF radio, an alert message and
notification page appear, and an alarm tone sounds. Distress Calls
are shown in the DSC Call List and Log with a checkered symbol.

The Map Page provides a comprehensive display of electronic
cartography, plotting, and navigational data. When in the BlueChart
data coverage area or using optional MapSource software, the
map display shows your boat on a digital chart, complete with
geographic names, map items, navaids, and a host of other chart
features. It also plots your track and displays any routes and
waypoints you create. A map pointer allows you pan and scroll to
other map areas, determine the distance and bearing to a location,
and perform various route and waypoint functions.

Map Page
The GPSMAP 182/182C system starts in the Position Mode,
with your location centered on the map display. When sufficient
map coverage is not available to keep your location centered, the
position triangle moves toward the edge of the display.
The Zoom IN and OUT keys combined with the ROCKER, allow
you select zoom ranges and move the pointer. Two basic map
operating modes, Position Mode and Pointer Mode, determine what
cartography is shown on the map display. Position Mode moves the
cartography to keep the present position marker within the display
area. Pan Mode moves the cartography to keep the map pointer
within the display area.
Pan Mode starts when the ROCKER is pressed. The pointer
is moved over the map display using the ROCKER. When the
pointer reaches the edge of the display, the map scrolls forward
under the pointer.

Receiver
Status
The GPS tab provides a visual reference of satellite acquisition,
receiver status, and accuracy. The status information provides
an idea of what the receiver is doing at any given moment. The
sky view and signal strength bars give you an indication of what
satellites are visible to the receiver and whether or not they are
being tracked. The signal strength is shown on a bar graph for each
satellite, with the satellite number below. As the receiver locks onto
satellites, a signal strength bar appears for each satellite in view.
The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages:
Accuracy
Sky View
DOP
Differential
Status
Signal Strength
Bars
•
•
•
No signal strength bars—the receiver is looking for the
satellites indicated.
The status field indicates a 2D or 3D, when the GPSMAP
182/182C has collected the necessary data from satellites to
calculate a fix. The unit then updates the location, date, and time.
Light signal strength bars—the receiver has found the
satellite(s) and is collecting data.
You can use the sky view to help determine if any satellites
are being blocked, and whether you have a current location fix
(indicated by a 2D, 2D Differential, 3D, or 3D Differential in
the status field). The sky view shows a bird’s-eye view of the
position of each satellite relative to the receiver’s last known
location. The outer circle represents the horizon (north up), the
inner circle 45º above the horizon, and the center point a position
directly overhead. You can also set the sky view to a Track Up
configuration, causing the top of the sky view to align along your
current track heading.
Dark signal strength bars—the receiver has collected the
necessary data and the satellite(s) are ready for use.

WAAS satellites are numbered 33 or higher when viewing the sky
view on your GPSMAP 182/182C. Initial reception of the WAAS
signal can take up to 15-20 minutes, then 1-2 minutes afterwards.
When WAAS differential correction has been received for GPS
satellites (numbers 32 or below), a D appears in the signal bar of
the sky view and 2D or 3D Differential appears in the receiver
status. To learn more about the WAAS system, its satellite positions
and current state of development, visit the FAA web site
(http://gps.faa.gov). Because WAAS requires CPU resources of the
GPSMAP 182/182C to search for and track the satellites, you can
disable the WAAS feature to improve unit performance if WAAS
reception is not available in your area. Refer to the “Appendix” for
more information.
WAAS Capability
The GPSMAP 182/182C is capable of receiving WAAS (Wide
Area Augmentation System) satellite signals. WAAS is an FAA
(Federal Aviation Administration) funded project to improve the
overall accuracy and integrity of the GPS signal for aviation use,
but land/sea based users can also benefit from this system. At this
time, the system is still in the development stage and is not fully
operational.
There are currently two WAAS satellites that can be received in
the U.S.A., one over the Atlantic Ocean and one over the Pacific
Ocean, in a geo-stationary orbit over the equator. Effective use
of the WAAS satellite signal may be limited by your geographic
location in relation to those satellites, now in developmental
service. WAAS satellite signal reception requires an absolute
clear view of the sky and works best when there are no nearby
obstructions such as buildings and mountains.

Understanding the Sonar Display
Understanding Sonar
One of the first things to understand about sonar is that the
transducer sends a beam down to the bottom of the water, much
like the beam of a flashlight. The beam starts small near your
vessel and expands as it gets to the bottom. Refer to “Transducer
Coverage” for more detailed information.
The transducer mounted on your vessel transmits sound waves
toward the bottom of a lake, stream, or seabed in a cone-shaped
pattern. When a transmitted sound wave strikes an underwater
object—such as the bottom, a piece of structure, or a fish—sound
is reflected back to the transducer. The transducer collects
the reflected sound waves and sends the data to the GPSMAP
182/182C to be processed and displayed. The underwater data is
shown on the Sonar display in the order that it is returned: first
returned is the first on the display.
The Sonar Page does not display a three-dimensional representation
of the underwater environment; the display is in two-dimensions,
much like if you took a picture of an aquarium. Only the depth of
the item in the water is displayed. The Sonar display does not show
you where an item is located horizontally in the water, as shown in
the drawings below. The fish is not directly above the tree in reality,
but it can look like they are on the Sonar Page.
Generally speaking, if the only thing between the transducer and
the bottom is water, the first strong return comes from the bottom
directly below the transducer and sets the bottom level. Weaker
secondary returns provide the detailed data. Stronger returns
display in darker colors, with red being the strongest return.

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 finding fish within a coverage width that
is approximately 2/3 of the water depth. However, this also means
that wide cone angles produce less bottom detail and resolution.
As shown in the drawing on the near right, the 40° cone angle
produces a coverage area of approximately a 20-foot diameter
circle at a 30-foot depth.

The narrow cone angles (10°) associated with the high frequencies
(200 kHz) provide better bottom resolution and crisper detail, but
cannot show a large coverage area for finding fish. The 10° cone
angle provides a coverage width that is approximately 2/10 of the
water depth. As shown in the drawing on the far right, the 10° cone
angle produces a coverage area of approximately a 6-foot diameter
circle at a 30-foot depth.

USING SONAR > UNDERSTANDING SONAR
Whiteline
Thermoclines
The Sounder Module can help you determine whether the bottom is
hard or soft. When the sonar sound waves are reflected 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. Normally, a red line is used to show the
point where water meets the bottom. This line follows the bottom
contour, along with any significant objects lying on the bottom.
The unit uses the whiteline function to make the bottom layer
information easier to distinguish.
A rough definition of a thermocline is a break in water where
the water temperature changes faster than the water above it.
Thermoclines are shown as the weakest colors.
One of the unique features offered by Garmin is See-Thru®
technology, which allows the GPSMAP 182/182C to hear both
weak and strong signals simultaneously so as to identify fish
returns under the toughest conditions, such as suspended in
thermoclines or even hiding near structures. See-Thru technology
allows the Sounder Module to see through thermoclines and locate
fish.

APPENDIX > INSTALLING THE GPSMAP 182/182C
Installing the GPSMAP 182/182C
The GPSMAP 182/182C must be properly installed according to
the following instructions to get the best possible performance.
If you have the GPSMAP 182/182C with the built-in internal
bail mount antenna, you can skip this section and proceed to the
next page. For units purchased with the remote antenna, follow
the instructions below. To complete the installation, you need the
appropriate fasteners and a 1" x 14-thread marine antenna mount
available at most marine dealers.
Suggested locations for mounting the external antenna.
The Garmin antenna screws directly onto any standard 1" x 14-
thread antenna mount. If you need to raise the antenna to avoid
shading, try using a 1" x 14-thread extension mast available at most
marine dealers.
Mounting the GPS Antenna
The antenna should be mounted in a location that has a clear,
unobstructed view of the sky in all directions to ensure the best
reception. Avoid mounting the antenna where it is shaded by the
boat’s superstructure, a radome antenna, or mast. Sailboat users
should avoid mounting the antenna high on the mast to prevent
inaccurate speed readings caused by excessive heeling. Most
marine VHF and LORAN antennas should not seriously degrade
the GPS antenna’s reception. Never paint the antenna or clean it
with harsh solvents.
NOTE: It is possible to route
the coaxial cable either through,
or outside the antenna mount. It
is possible to remove the BNC
connector on the coaxial cable
and the coaxial cable shortened
to ease installation, however,
doing so voids the antenna
warranty. If the BNC connector
is removed, it must be replaced
with a new solder-on or crimp
BNC connector.

with a gimbal bracket that can be used for surface or overhead
mounting. When choosing a location for the display unit, consider
the following conditions:
"
2. Route the cable to the mounting location of the display unit.
Use the appropriate tie-wraps, fasteners, and sealant to
secure the cable along the route and through any bulkhead
or deck.
3. After the GPSMAP 182/182C unit is installed, connect the
cable to the antenna connector on the back of the display
unit. Make sure that you turn the antenna cable connector
1/4 turn clockwise to lock the cable into place.
•
There should be at least a 3" (7 cm) clearance behind the
case to allow connection of the antenna (external antenna
only), power/data cables.
•
•
The mounting surface should be heavy enough to support the
unit and protect it from excessive vibration and shock.
For GPSMAP 182/182C units with the built-in internal
bail mount antenna, it should be mounted in a location that
has the clearest, most unobstructed view of the sky in all
directions to ensure the best reception. Avoid mounting the
unit where it is blocked by the boat’s superstructure, a radar
arch, or mast.
NOTE: The temperature range for the GPSMAP 182/182C
is 5°F to 158°F (-15°C to 70°C). Extended exposure to
temperatures exceeding this range (in storage or operating
conditions) can cause failure of the display. This type of
failure and related consequences are NOT covered by the
manufacturer’s limited warranty.

APPENDIX > SATELLITE INFORMATION
Satellite Strength Indicator Bars
Satellite Information
The Satellite Strength Indicator Bars show the strength of the
signal being received, and the status of the signal. The bars are
either shaded or filled. The gray bar means the GPS is in the
process of storing orbital data it is receiving from the satellite
signal. When the bar turns solid, the GPS is using the satellite
signal for navigation. A “D” in or above the bar means that
differential corrections (WAAS or DGPS) are being applied to that
satellite.

APPENDIX > WHAT IS A WAAS AND DGPS?
What is WAAS?
What is Differential GPS (DGPS)?
The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is an F.A.A. funded
project to improve the overall integrity of the GPS signal. It is
a space-based system that broadcasts integrity information and
correction data as determined by ground reference stations. WAAS
testing completed in September of 2003 confirmed an accuracy of 2
to 3 vertical meters throughout the majority of the continental U.S.
and portions of Alaska. For more information, go to
The U.S. and Canadian governments (among others) have set up
Differential GPS (DGPS) stations to transmit correction signals.
They are operational in coastal areas and on many navigable river
systems. The DGPS system is available for use without a fee.
Refer to the U.S. Coast Guard’s Web site,
http://www.uscg.gov/ for locations and the status of the differential
sites. Using DGPS requires additional equipment.
http://gps.faa.gov/Programs/WAAS/waas.htm.
NOTE: If you are using the GPSMAP 182/182C outside of the
U.S.A., we recommend you turn off WAAS for the most accurate
location fix.

APPENDIX > WHAT IS MMSI?
U.S Non-Federal User: Commercial users, or those who travel
outside the U.S. or Canada, must apply for a ship station license, or
an amendment to a ship station license. To find out if you require
a Ship Station license contact: http://wireless.fcc.gov/marine/
fctsht14.html. If your vessel requires licensing by the FCC you
obtain a MMSI during the application/licensing process when you
file FCC Forms 159 and 605.
What is a Maritime Mobile Service Identity
(MMSI)?
Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) basically allows a VHF
radio to act like a phone. In order to make a “call” on a phone,
you first need a phone number to dial. The 9 digit MMSI number
acts like a phone number when used in a Position Report and as a
unique identifier to the Coast Guard when used in an emergency
Distress Call. In order to obtain a Maritime Mobile Service Identity
(MMSI) number, users must register their VHF radio with the FCC
(Form 605). Garmin does not supply this number!
U.S. Federal User: Federal users can obtain MMSI assignments
from their agency radio spectrum management office. These
procedures are currently under review by the NTIA (National
Telecommunications and Information Administration).
How are MMSI Assignments Obtained?
Non-commercial users (for example, recreational users who remain
in domestic waters and only carry VHF, EPIRB (Emergency
Position Indicating Radio Beacons), and Radar) are not required to
have a FCC ship station license. The FCC and Coast Guard have
authorized some second and third party vendors to assign MMSI
numbers. This service is limited to registering recreational vessels
only. To receive information on how to obtain a recreational MMSI
number contact: http://www.uscg.mil/rescue21/links/mmsi.htm or
http://wireless.fcc.gov/marine/.
Outside the U.S.: Users can obtain an MMSI assignment from their
telecommunications authority or ship registry, often by obtaining or
amending their ship station license.
In Canada: Industry Canada is responsible for assigning MMSI
numbers to commercial and recreational vessels. Information is
available at the following web site: http://apollo.ic.gc.ca/english/
mmsi.html.

APPENDIX > LORAN TD SYSTEM
LORAN TD Feature
LORAN TD System
The LORAN TD (Time Delay) feature eases the transition from
using LORAN to using GPS. The GPSMAP unit automatically
converts GPS coordinates to LORAN TDs for those who have a
collection of LORAN fixes for favorite fishing spots and other
waypoints recorded as TDs. You can display your position as a TD
or enter waypoints as TDs. The accuracy to be expected from this
conversion is approximately 30 meters. When the unit is placed
in the LORAN TD format mode, it simulates the operation of a
LORAN receiver. Position coordinates can be displayed as TDs,
and all navigation functions can be used as if the unit was actually
receiving LORAN signals.
LORAN C is a radio navigation aid operated and maintained in the
United States by the United States Coast Guard. The name LORAN
is an acronym for “LOng RAnge Navigation.” The LORAN system
covers the entire United States and the U.S. Coastal Confluence
Zone. From the perspective of a mariner, the system is used for
ocean and coastal navigation. It can be used as a supplemental
system for harbor and harbor approach navigation, and it is used
for inland navigation by recreational vehicles.
Using the LORAN TD Format
When creating new waypoints using LORAN TD coordinates,
you must set the correct LORAN chain number and secondary
stations in the Setup TD field before storing the waypoint. After
the waypoint is stored in unit memory, it always references the
LORAN chain number and secondary stations currently selected in
the Setup TD field. If you enter a different LORAN chain number
or change the secondary stations or offsets in the Setup TD field,
the active waypoint information reflects those changes. Because
the GPSMAP 182/182C does not rely on the LORAN signal for
navigation, it can reference a different GRI chain and/or secondary
stations and still navigate to the location stored in memory.

tab on the Main Menu.

APPENDIX > LORAN TD SYSTEM
The LORAN Position Format field is located on the Setup–
Location tab on the Main Menu. The LORAN TD Setup window
contains the fields to select the Loran GRI-Chain Number, Primary
and Secondary Stations, and TD Offsets.
If the active GRI Chain, secondary stations, or offsets were
changed since the waypoint was created, the waypoint now
references the active GRI-chain and secondary stations. You must
adjust the TD coordinates accordingly. Remember that the GPS
is not relying on the LORAN signal for navigation and actually
converts the TD coordinate to a useful LAT/LON coordinate before
storing the waypoint to memory or using it for navigation. Because
of this, the unit can navigate to a TD coordinate anywhere in the
world.
To set up Loran TD from the Main Menu:
1. Press MENU twice to display the Main Menu.
2. Using the ROCKER, highlight the Position Format field on
the Units tab, and press ENTER.
3. Highlight Loran TD and press ENTER
.
You must know your GRI chain number and secondary stations
to create a LORAN TD position. For more information, read
our LORAN TD Position Format Handbook, available from the
Garmin Web site (www.garmin.com/support/userManual.jsp.)
