is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is under
development and is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment. Although the GPS 45 is a precision elec-
tronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinter-
preted, and therefore become unsafe.
Use the GPS 45 at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation,
carefully review and understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual and thor-
oughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual use. When
in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPS 45 to all available
navigation sources including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual
sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before con-
tinuing navigation.

subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Welcome to the smallest, easiest-to-use GPS navigator on the water! The
GPS 45 represents GARMIN’s continuing commitment to provide mariners
with quality navigation information in a versatile, accurate and user-friendly
design you’ll enjoy for years to come.
To get the most of your new GPS unit, it is important that you take the time
to read through this owner’s manual to understand the operating features of
the GPS 45. The manual is organized into two sections for your convenience:
Section One introduces you to the basic features of the unit and provides a
quick-start orientation to the GPS 45. It has been designed to acquaint you
with the unit and provide a basic working knowledge necessary to use the unit
in typical conditions.
Section Two provides a detailed reference to the advanced features and
operations of the GPS 45 in a topical format. This allows you to concentrate
on a specific topic quickly, without reading through entire sections of text that
you may not need.
