GARMIN GPSMAP 12”–COMMON SETTINGS
(FINSEEKER ONLY)
If equipped with a Garmin GpsMap 12” in a single or twin MFD (multi-function display) arrangement
and separate round gauges, the fuel level will be analog driven and displayed on the separate speed/fuel
gauge. The MFD will not give digital fuel level although fuel consumption can be monitored on the MFD if
the fuel amount is entered correctly before boating (instructions are below).
If equipped with two Garmin GpsMap 12” MFDs (multi-function displays) and no separate round
gauges, fuel level can be displayed on the MFD. All data capabilities such as maps, sonar, and vessel data
can be displayed on either screen. The screens do not have to display the same information. You can have
maps on one display and vessel information on the other.
