System Settings
Select Setup > System.
Satellite: Sets the satellite system options (Satellite Settings).
Text Language: Sets the text language on the device.
NOTE: Changing the text language does not change the language of user-entered data or map data, such as street names.
Interface: Sets the format of the serial interface (Serial Interface Settings).
RINEX Logging: Enables the device to write Receiver Independent Exchange Format (RINEX) data to a system file. RINEX is a data interchange format for raw satellite navigation system data.
Select Setup > System > Satellite.
Satellite System: Sets the satellite system to GPS or Demo Mode (GPS off).
WAAS/EGNOS: Enables the system to use Wide Area Augmentation System/European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (WAAS/EGNOS) data.
GPS and Other Satellite Systems
Using GPS and another satellite system together offers increased performance in challenging environments andfaster position acquisition than using GPS only. However, using multiple systems can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only.
Your device can use these Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Some satellite systems may not be available for all device models.
GPS: A satellite constellation built by the United States.
GLONASS: A satellite constellation built by Russia.
GALILEO: A satellite constellation built by the European Space Agency.
Select Setup > System > Interface.
NOTE: The GPSMAP 86s device can output NMEA® 0183 sentences to a computer using a USB connection; the device does not connect directly to on-board equipment.
Garmin Spanner: Allows you to use the device USB port with most NMEA 0183-compliant mapping programs by creating a virtual serial port.
Garmin Serial: Sets the device to use a Garmin proprietary format to exchange waypoint, route, and track data with a computer.
NMEA In/Out: Sets the device to use standard NMEA 0183 output and input.
Text Out: Provides simple ASCII text output of location and velocity information.
MTP: Sets the device to use Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) to access the file system on the device instead of mass storage mode.
