Filtering the Data
Certain data types can be filtered to control how quickly the

Information).

When viewing data you need to filter, select >
CONFIGURE DATA FIELDS.

Adjust the filter setting.
• Setting the filter to "0" turns off filtering.
• The higher the filter setting, the more gradually the
instrument displays changes in the data it receives.
For example, when you increase the filter setting for wind
speed data, the instrument is less responsive to
momentary gusts of wind and displays a more constant
wind speed.

Type Information). You can configure how data is shown on the
gauge.

Using the Race Timer
To view the race timer on a page, you must add it as a data field
from the SAILING category.
You can use the race timer to count down to a race, and then
measure the duration of the race. The race timer is
synchronized with other GNX instruments and compatible
Garmin
®
chartplotters on the same NMEA 2000 network.
TIP: To quickly open the race timer screen, you can hold
from a main page. This shortcut works from any page, whether
