Introduction
Warning and Precautions
The GPS system is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its
accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment. Although the GARMIN GPSMAP 162 is a precision electronic
NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become
unsafe.
The electronic chart is an aid to navigation and is designed to facilitate the use of authorized
government charts, not replace them. Only offi cial government charts and notices to mariners contain all
information needed for safe navigation – and, as always, the user is responsible for their prudent use.
Use the GPSMAP 162 at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual—and thoroughly practice operation using the simulator
mode prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPSMAP 162 to all
available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc.
For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
NOTE: This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by relocating the
equipment or connecting the equipment to a different circuit. Consult an authorized dealer or other
qualifi ed technician for additional help if these remedies do not correct the problem.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC limits for class B digital devices for home or offi ce use.
Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
CAUTION: IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THIS
PRODUCT PRUDENTLY. THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED TO
BE USED ONLY AS A NAVIGATIONAL AID AND MUST
NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE REQUIRING PRECISE
MEASUREMENT OF DIRECTION, DISTANCE, LOCATION, OR
TOPOGRAPHY.

MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of GARMIN is to
provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography
that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination
of governmental and private data sources, which we identify (as
required) in product literature and copyright messages displayed
to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or
incomplete data to some degree. This is particularly true outside the
United States, where complete and accurate digital data is either not
available or prohibitively expensive.

Initializing the Receiver
To graphically initialize the GPSMAP 162:
1. From the Status Page, press the MENU key. The Status Page options menu window will appear.
2. Using the ARROW KEYPAD, highlight ‘Initialize Position’ and press ENTER/MARK to initialize the
receiver from the built-in worldwide map. The ‘Initialize Position’ page will appear, prompting you to
select your approximate location with the map cursor.
3. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to move the map cursor and point to your approximate location within
100 miles. If you have diffi culty identifying your position, press and release the IN key to zoom in
to see the next lower map scale.
4. Once you have determined your approximate location on the map, press the ENTER/MARK key.
This does not “calibrate” the unit in any way, but rather helps to speed up the initial
satellite acquisition. If the unit switches to the Map Page or displays ‘2D’ or ‘3D
Navigation’ during this process, it is not necessary to initialize the unit.
The GPSMAP 162 will now begin searching for the appropriate satellites for your region and should
acquire a fi x within a few minutes. A signal strength bar for each satellite in view will appear on the
top middle of the page, with the appropriate satellite number under each bar. The progress of satellite
acquisition is shown in three stages:
• No signal strength bars— the receiver is looking for the satellites indicated.
• Hollow signal strength bars— the receiver has found the indicated satellite(s) and is collecting
data.
• Solid signal strength bars— the receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite(s)
are ready for use.
Once the receiver has collected information from at least three satellites, the top of the screen will
display either “2D or 3D Navigation”, and the GPSMAP 162 will be ready for use.
Point to your approximate location
and press ENTER/MARK.
A satellite’s signal bar will turn black
when it’s ready for use.

Power On/Screen Contrast
GPSMAP 162 Getting Started Tour
The GARMIN GPSMAP 162 is a powerful electronic navigation system that provides detailed map
coverage and convenient control of many advanced features right from the screen display. This tour is
designed to take you through the basic pages and functions of the system using the simulator mode.
Once you’re familiar with the main pages and functions of the unit, refer to the reference section for
instructions on performing specifi c tasks and functions.
The Getting Started tour assumes that the receiver has been properly installed and initialized, and
you have not changed any of the default unit settings. If you have changed any settings (position
formats, units of measure, etc.), the descriptions and pictures in the tour may not match your
confi guration.
To turn on the GPSMAP 162:
1. Press and hold the POWER key until the power tone sounds, then release the POWER key. The
Welcome Page will appear while the unit conducts a self-test.
2. Once the self-test is complete, press the ENTER/MARK key, if you agree, to acknowledge the
warning.
The Status Page will appear as the receiver begins acquiring satellites. From the Status Page or any
other page, you may also adjust the screen contrast and backlighting.
To adjust the screen contrast:
1. Press POWER and the Light and Contrast window will appear.
2. To decrease or increase the screen contrast, press LEFT or RIGHT on the ARROW KEYPAD.

3. Press the ENTER/MARK key to confi rm the ‘Running Simulator’ message that appears at the
bottom of the display.
Once the simulator has been started, the status fi eld at the top of the page will display a ‘Simulating
Navigation’ status. Now you’re ready to continue the rest of the simulated tour.
The GPSMAP 162 does not track satellites in simulator mode, and this mode should
never be used for actual navigation.
All the waypoint and route planning done in simulator mode will still be retained in memory
for future use.
Press UP or DOWN on the ARROW
KEYPAD to move the backlighting
slider up for brighter or down for
dimmer backlighting..

Getting Started
Status Page/
Map Page
The Status Page is one of fi ve main pages used in the GPSMAP 162’s system. The fi ve main pages
are: the Status Page, Map Page, Compass Page, Highway Page and Active Route Page. All fi ve pages
are linked together in a simple chain, which allows you to scroll through the pages in either direction
using the PAGE and QUIT keys.
To continue the tour, let’s move on to the next page, the Map Page.
To scroll to the next page in sequence:
1. Press the PAGE key.
The GPSMAP 162’s Map Page combines digital chartplotting with a user-selectable display of
navigation data and a built-in worldwide database to 20 mi. It will also be the page you use most to
create and edit waypoints and routes. Before we take off on our practice route, let’s take a brief look
at its various features and displays.
The map display shows your “boat” as a triangle marker on an electronically generated chart.
Geographic names, roads, markers and buoys that are provided by the optional MapSource data are
also shown. It also displays your track, routes and nearby waypoints. An on-screen cursor lets you
pan to other map areas, determine the range and bearing to a position, and perform various waypoint
and route functions.
The data window, located at the top of the page, provides a user-selectable display of various
navigation data, including course, speed over ground, and bearing and distance to the cursor or a
particular waypoint. The current map scale setting is located at the bottom right of the page.

Getting Started
Marking Waypoints
To mark your present position:
1. Hold down the ENTER/MARK key until the ‘New Waypoint’ window appears then release the
key. The window will show a default three-digit waypoint name/number (001), symbol (dot), and
position. You can leave the name as the auto-assigned number, but for this exercise, lets change
the name to ‘DOCK’.
2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the waypoint name fi eld (001) and press ENTER/MARK.
You will see that just the fi rst ‘0’ is now highlighted.
3. Press LEFT on the ARROW KEYPAD to clear the name fi eld.
4. Press the UP or DOWN arrow of the ARROW KEYPAD until the letter ‘D’ appears, and then press
the RIGHT arrow key to go to the next space to the right, then UP or DOWN again until ‘O’ appears.
Repeat this until you have entered the name ‘DOCK’. If you make a mistake and select an incorrect
character, simply press LEFT on the ARROW KEYPAD to backspace the cursor and then UP or
DOWN to correct the entry. If you accidentally press ENTER/MARK before you are done, simply
press ENTER/MARK again and move the highlight to where you left off.
5. After you have entered all the letters, press ENTER/MARK to confi rm the name.
6. To access the waypoint symbol menu, highlight the waypoint symbol fi eld which is to the left of the
waypoint’s name and press ENTER/MARK. Note: The default symbol is a dot.
7. You will see an alphabetical list of available waypoint symbols to choose from. Press the ARROW
KEYPAD UP or DOWN until you highlight the ‘ANCHOR’ symbol. You will see a scroll bar on the
right of the window indicating your current position on the entire list of symbols.
8. Press ENTER/MARK to confi rm the ‘ANCHOR’ symbol.
9. Highlight ‘OK’ at the bottom of the window and press ENTER/MARK again to confi rm the ‘OK’
prompt and save the waypoint. You may also press QUIT to not save the waypoint.
The waypoint is now stored in memory. Note that waypoints may also be created graphically from
the map display or by manually entering position coordinates. Each of these techniques is described in
the reference section of the manual and/or on your GPSMAP 162 Quick Reference Guide.
Press ENTER/MARK after entering
the name.
You can choose from a list of 38 useful
symbols.

Getting Started
Using the NAV/MOB Key
Going to a Destination
GPS is all about marking positions as waypoints and navigating to them using the receiver’s steering
guidance and map displays. We’ve already seen how to use the ENTER/MARK key to store our present
position, so it’s time to move on to the fun part—going to a destination.
The NAV/MOB key, located on the right side of the keypad below the QUIT key, is the primary
tool used to select a destination waypoint, TracBack, or a route to navigate. The NAV/MOB key can
be used in three primary ways:
• Pressing NAV/MOB once displays a list of options from which you can select ‘Go To Waypoint’,
‘Follow Route’, ‘Follow Track’, or ‘Stop Navigation’.
• Holding down NAV/MOB, or pressing the key 2 times, activates the MOB (Man OverBoard)
feature. This marks the point at which the MOB was activated as a waypoint named “MOB” and
also establishes it as an active “Go To” point.
• Highlighting an on-screen waypoint or map item as a destination directly from the Map Page
and pressing NAV/MOB allows you to graphically select points to “Go To”.
For our simulated trip, you’re going to select a pre-programmed tour route using the fi rst method.
This will also show you how the MENU key provides tab style options and functions throughout the
GPSMAP system. Let’s start by changing the position to where the practice route is located.
To change the GPSMAP 162 position in simulator mode:
1. From the Status Page, press the MENU key. The options menu will appear, displaying a menu of
options and functions for the Status Page.
2. Press UP or DOWN on the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Initialize Position’ option and press
ENTER/MARK.
3. From the Initialize Position page, press the MENU key. You will see ‘Enter As Text’ highlighted,
then press ENTER/MARK.
4. On the Enter Position window, press ENTER/MARK then use the ARROW KEYPAD to enter
N34°56.800’, W076°24.066’ and press ENTER/MARK when done.
Text entry for simulator position.
For future practice, you may skip
steps 3 and 4 and point to a location
from the Initialize Position page.

map data. Press the IN key to zoom into the 2 nm scale. Now that you’ve zoomed in a little closer to
your route, you can pan ahead of your vessel with the cursor to review map items and create on-screen
waypoints. Try moving the cursor to highlight the ‘TOUR3’ waypoint— just use the ARROW KEYPAD
to move the cursor as close as possible to the waypoint. (To move the cursor in small increments, try
a series of short key presses.)
Once the cursor is over the TOUR3 waypoint, you’ll notice that the waypoint symbol and name will
become highlighted or “selected.” The data fi eld at the top of the page will display the waypoint name,
the range and bearing from your present position, and the coordinates for the waypoint.
To review the waypoint page for a selected waypoint:
1. Press the ENTER/MARK key.
2. To return to the Map Page, press ENTER/MARK again or press QUIT.
The cursor can also be used to create new waypoints right from the map display.

Compass/Highway
Navigation Pages
Now that we’re navigating to an actual destination, let’s move on to the GPSMAP 162 navigation
pages by pressing the PAGE key.
The GPSMAP 162 features two different navigation pages: the Compass and Highway pages. The
Compass Page is fi rst. This page provides graphic steering guidance to a destination waypoint, with an
emphasis on the bearing to your destination and current direction of travel. (The Highway Page places
greater emphasis on the straight-line desired course and the distance and direction you are off course.)
The middle of the page features a rotating ‘compass ring’ that shows your course over ground (track)
while you’re moving, and a bearing pointer that indicates the direction of the destination (bearing)
relative to the course over ground. The compass ring and pointer arrow work independently to
show—at a glance—the direction of your movement and the direction to your destination. For
instance, if the arrow points up, you are going directly to the waypoint. If the arrow points any
direction other than up, turn toward the arrow until it points up, then continue in that direction.
The current speed, distance to the next waypoint and the time to the next waypoint are displayed
at the top of the screen. This page provides better steering guidance than the Highway Page when
traveling at slower speeds and/or when making frequent directional changes. When you are not
navigating to a waypoint, the compass ring will show your direction of travel as you move but the
arrow will not appear.
Let’s move on to the Highway page by pressing the PAGE key.

Getting Started
Highway Page
The GPSMAP 162’s Highway Page also provides graphic steering guidance to a destination
waypoint. As you head toward your destination, the middle of the screen provides visual guidance to
your waypoint on a moving graphic “highway.” Your present position is at the bottom center of the
highway display. The line down the middle of the highway represents your desired course. As you
navigate toward a waypoint, the highway will actually move—indicating the direction you’re off course.
To stay on course, simply steer toward the center of the highway or “keep it on the road.” The six
default data fi elds at the top of the page indicate Speed, Distance To your destination (or the next
waypoint in a route), ‘To Course’ which shows the bearing to get you back on course, the distance
you are ‘Off Course’, Time To the Next waypoint, and compass Track you are heading. Use the
Highway Page as your primary navigation page (in lieu of the Compass Page) when your main concern
is following a defi ned course.
Whenever the GPSMAP 162 is in simulator mode, you can also adjust your speed and course from
the Highway Page using the ARROW KEYPAD. As you head toward each waypoint in the tour route,
try adjusting your boat speed and course to get a feel for how the highway works.
To adjust the simulated boat speed from the Highway Page:
1. Press the UP arrow of the ARROW KEYPAD to increase the speed in 10 knot/kph/mph increments.
Press the DOWN arrow to decrease the speed in the same increments.
To steer the boat:
1. Press the LEFT and RIGHT arrows of the ARROW KEYPAD.
Notice that as you get off course, the highway will move to give you graphic guidance to get back
on course. You can zoom in or out on the Highway Page display for a smaller or larger view. Five
available settings range from 1X to 16X, with a default setting of 8X. The current scale will appear
in the bottom right of the display.
To zoom in or out on the Highway Page display:

Status Page
Status Page
The GPSMAP 162 Status Page provides a visual reference of satellite acquisition, receiver status,
date, time and position coordinates. The status information will give you an idea of what the receiver is
doing at any given moment. The sky view and signal strength bars indicate which 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 will appear for each satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite number (01-32) underneath each
bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages:
• No signal strength bars— the receiver is looking for the satellites indicated.
• Light signal strength bars— the receiver has found the satellite(s) and is collecting data.
• Dark signal strength bars— the receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite(s) are
ready for use.
Each satellite has a data transmission that must be collected (light bar status) before that satellite
may be used for navigation (dark bar status). When the receiver is looking for a particular satellite,
the corresponding signal strength bar will be blank and the sky view indicator will not be highlighted.
Once the receiver has found the satellite, a light signal strength bar will appear, indicating that the
satellite has been found. When the receiver has collected data from the satellite and locked on, the
number in the sky view will appear highlighted and the status bar will become dark.
As soon as the GPSMAP 162 has collected the necessary data from the best satellites in view to
calculate a fi x, the status fi eld will indicate a 2D or 3D tatus. The unit will then update the position,
date and time.
You can use the sky view to help determine if any satellites are being blocked, and whether you
have a current position fi x (indicated by a ‘2D Navigation’ or ‘3D Navigation’ in the status fi eld). The
sky view shows a bird’s-eye view of the position of each satellite relative to the receiver’s last known
position. 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’
confi guration, causing the top of the sky view to align along your current track heading.

Status Page
Receiver Status, Accuracy and DOP
Receiver status is indicated at the top fi eld of the page, with the current Accuracy and Dilution
Of Precision (DOP) to the right of the sky view. DOP is an indication of satellite geometry quality
measured on a scale of one to ten (lowest numbers the best, highest numbers the poorest). Accuracy
uses DOP and other factors to calculate horizontal position accuracy in feet or meters. The status fi eld
will show one of the following conditions:
• Looking For Satellites— the receiver is looking for any satellites.
• AutoLocate— the receiver is looking for any satellite whose almanac has been collected. This
process can take up to fi ve minutes.
• Acquiring Satellites— the receiver is looking for and collecting data from satellites visible at its
last known or initialized position, but has not collected enough data to calculate a fi x.
• 2D Navigation— at least three satellites with good geometry have been acquired and a 2
dimensional position fi x (latitude and longitude) is being calculated. ‘2D Differential Naviga-
tion’ will appear when you are receiving DGPS corrections in 2D mode and a ‘D’ will show on
the strength bar of satellites being corrected.
• 3D Navigation— at least four satellites with good geometry have been acquired and your
position is now being calculated in latitude, longitude and altitude. ‘3D Differential Navigation’
will appear when you are receiving DGPS corrections in 3D mode and a ‘D’ will show on the
strength bar of satellites being corrected.
• Poor GPS Coverage— the receiver is no longer tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fi x.
• Receiver Not Usable— the receiver is unusable, possibly due to interference or abnormal
satellite conditions. Turn the unit off and back on to reset.
• Simulating Navigation— the receiver is in simulator mode.

Status Page Options
The ‘DGPS Rcvr’ and ‘Diff SNR’ fi elds appear below the ‘Accuracy’ and ‘DOP’ fi elds. The
Differential Receiver status will show one of the following:
• Off— No optional beacon receiver attached or enabled in the Comm menu
• No Signal— DGPS receiver attached, but not transmitting RTCM data to GPS
• Tuning— Receiver is tuning manual frequency
• Scanning— DGPS receiver is scanning for available frequency
• Rcving— Unit is receiving DGPS corrections
• Chk Wiring— DGPS is enabled in Comm menu, but no DGPS receiver attached or bad
corrections
• WAAS— The unit is receiving ‘WAAS’ data
The Differential SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) indicates, on a scale to 0-30db with 30db being
the best, the strength of the DGPS signal being received. If no optional DGPS receiver is used with
the GPSMAP 162, the ‘DGPS Rcvr’ fi eld will display ‘Off’ and the ‘DGPS SNR’ fi eld will be blank.
The SNR will depend upon the mounting of your DGPS receiver and the distance from the DGPS
transmitting station.
Many features of the GPSMAP 162 are menu-driven. Each of the main pages has an options menu,

Map Page
The GPSMAP 162’s Map Page provides a comprehensive display of electronic cartography, plotting
and navigational data. When using the unit with the 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. An
on-screen cursor lets you pan and scroll to other map areas, determine the distance and bearing to a
position, and perform various route and waypoint functions.
When the cursor is active, an additional data window will appear below the data fi elds to indicate
the position, range and bearing to the cursor or a selected waypoint or map item. The map scale
displays at the bottom right of the page.
The IN and OUT keys, combined with the ARROW KEYPAD, let you select zoom ranges and
move the cursor. Two basic map operating modes, position mode and cursor mode, determine what
cartography is shown on the map display. Position mode pans the cartography to keep the present
position marker within the display area, while cursor mode pans the cartography to keep the cursor
within the display area.
The GPSMAP system will always power up in the position mode, with your vessel centered on
the map display.
• When suffi cient map coverage is not available to keep the boat centered, the boat icon will
move toward the edge of the display.
• If the boat icon attempts to go off the display, the zoom level may need to be adjusted to
keep cartography on screen.

• To return to position mode, press the QUIT key.
When the cursor reaches the edge of the map, the unit may pause as it loads new
map data.
Using the Cursor
The cursor allows you to pan away from your present position and scroll to other map areas around
the world (even outside of your current MapSource coverage). As you pan past the edge of the current
map display, the screen will actively scroll forward to provide continuous map coverage.
To move the cursor:
1. Press the ARROW KEYPAD to move the cursor in an up, down, left or right direction.
As you move the cursor, the distance and bearing from your present position to the cursor will be
displayed on the data window, along with the cursor’s position coordinates. Keep in mind that when
the cursor is stationary, the distance and bearing from your present position will change as your boat
moves. The cursor may also be used to “snap to” on-screen waypoints and map items, allowing you to

The GPSMAP 162 features two different navigation pages: Compass and Highway. Whenever a
NAV/MOB, Follow Track (TracBack) or Follow Route have been activated, the GPSMAP 162’s Compass
Page will guide you to your destination with digital readouts and a graphic compass display, which
includes a bearing pointer. Use this page (instead of the Highway Page) when travelling at slower
speeds, when making frequent directional changes, or where straight-line navigation is not possible due
to obstructions or terrain. The middle of the page features a rotating ‘compass ring’ that shows your
course over ground (track) while you’re moving. Your present course over ground is indicated at the
top of the compass ring. A bearing pointer, in the middle of the compass ring, indicates the direction
of the destination (bearing) relative to the course over ground. The compass ring and pointer arrow
work independently to show—at a glance—the direction of your movement and the direction to your
destination. For instance, if the arrow points up, you are going directly to the waypoint. If the arrow
points any direction other than up, turn toward the arrow until it points up, then continue in that
direction.
The GPSMAP 162’s Compass Page features a menu page that provides access to layout and data

Whenever a NAV/MOB, TracBack or route has been activated, the GPSMAP 162’s Highway Page
will provide digital and graphic steering guidance to the destination with the Navigation Page. The top
half of the Highway Page features user-selectable data fi elds that display useful navigation data. The
middle section of the screen provides visual guidance to the waypoint on a graphic highway display.
The line down the center of the highway represents your desired track line.
As you head toward your destination, the highway perspective moves to indicate your progress to
the waypoint and which direction you should steer to stay on course. If you are navigating a route, the
Highway Page shows each route waypoint in sequence connected by a black “road” with a white line
down the middle, which is your desired track line. Nearby waypoints not in the active route can also
be displayed. The highway perspective scale may also be zoomed in or out to display a larger or smaller
view of the highway. Five settings are available from 1X to 16X, with a default setting of 8X.
To change the highway perspective scale:
