Introduction

Warnings 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 168 Sounder 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 168 Sounder 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 168 Sounder to all available navigation sources, including the information from other

NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing

navigation.

The GPSMAP 168 Sounder should not be used as a navigational aid or depth sounder to prevent

collision, grounding, boat damage or personal injury. The digital depth displayed is the depth under the

transducer and not necessarily the front of the boat. By the time a depth is displayed, most of your boat

may have already passed over that area. We recommend that you operate the boat at a very slow speed

if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.

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.
