Garmin Glass Cockpit 8600…How customizable?
Posted: Sun Feb 13, 2022 1:55 pm
Hi All,
Looking for some information on the dual glass cockpit set up.
I have 2 Garmin 10” in my new R4 that I’ll be picking up.
I know from the dealer it is set up to have the chart plotter / navigation non the left screen and the boat information and controls on the right screen (gages, light color control, rear video camera, etc.
99% of the time by boat will be used on a lake where I will not at all need the navigation. Does the left side have to be navigation or can it also be used for boat information. As an example…If I wanted to have rear camera showing of the left screen and boat gages showing on the right screen. Or if I want to have the boat gages on the left screen vs. the right screen?
I’m just trying to understand how much control I can have as far as the content on each screen. It would suck to have a whole screen that is not used since navigation features ogre not needed on the lake.
Thanks for any information!
