INTRODUCTION
The GEONAV is a chart plotter that can be interfaced with a
GPS receiver, autopilot and other onboard instruments, and
allows displaying the boat’s geographical position with respect
to an electronic chart. Thanks to the GEONAV and a
NAVIONICS Platinum™ or Gold™ electronic chart, you will
never get lost even in case of fog, bad weather or dark.
The GEONAV has been designed to allow flush mounting.
Equipped with an easy-to-use keyboard, the GEONAV allows
controlling the autopilot directly from the plotter (Easy Pilot
function) and, thanks to the unlimited capacity of the
CompactFlash™ cartridges - that can also be used on PCs as
personal hard disks - can store a large amount of route, track
and marker data.
The GEONAV is ready for connection with the wind station
and echosounder and, thanks to windows enabled automati-
cally, able to display the relevant data, if available. The con-
nection supports the NMEA 0183 standard protocol.
The Route functions will allow you to plan a trip, while, thanks
to the new multimedia NAVIONICS Platinum™ electronic
charts, you will always know exactly the boat’s position.
NAVIONICS Platinum™ charts provide a detailed coverage of
all the most popular boating areas, offer new functions - such
as 3D display, satellite photographs, etc. - and can be used in
addition to official paper charts to obtain additional informa-
tion such as the availability of port services, as well as tides
and currents data. NAVIONICS Platinum™ and Gold™ elec-
tronic charts are available worldwide from authorized
NAVIONICS dealers.
When new functions are available, it will be possible to up-
date the GEONAV internal software at any GEONAV dealer.

INSTALLATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Precautions
Wherever possible, the power supply cable shield should be
connected to the boat’s ground plate.
The GEONAV is water resistant but not waterproof, therefore
it should not be immersed totally in water.
The cartridge slot cover, located on the plotter’s right-hand
side, should always be kept closed and opened only when
replacing cartridges. Make sure that the cartridge replacement
is carried out as the unit is perfectly dry and that no water
enters the unit.
Rear connectors, when not in use, should always be protected
by the appropriate rubber covers.
Cleaning
It is recommended the use of a non-alcoholic product to clean
the glass, since alcoholic products may damage the glass sur-
face or make it opaque.
Panel mounting
Locate the area where the GEONAV is to be installed, then
use the drilling template supplied with the plotter to properly
cut holes and sockets out of the instrument’s panel.
The neoprene adhesive gasket supplied must be applied to
the GEONAV rear side to avoid moisture penetration and to
reduce vibrations.
Mounting screws must be 4 mm in diameter and maximum 5
mm in length, plus the thickness of the panel. Do not exceed
tightening the screws, in order to avoid damaging the screw
seats.
Installation and Precautions
9
English
Flush mounting
Locate the area where the GEONAV is to be installed, then
use the cutting template supplied with the plotter to cut the
panel.
Apply a layer of silicone glue (the use of black colored glue is
recommended, in order to prevent the area from going yellow
when exposed to sunlight) to the plastic frame rear part; place
the frame into the socket cut out of the panel, so that the
frame edge leans against the panel.
Make sure that the frame and the panel are correctly fixed; if
necessary, apply additional metal brackets (not supplied in
the package) as shown in the relevant figure.
Let the silicone glue dry, then apply the neoprene gasket to
the plotter rear side, insert the instrument into the frame and
lock it by the screws supplied.
Do not exceed tightening the screws, in order to avoid damag-
ing the screw seats.

Bracket mounting
Fix the bracket to the boat’s dashboard with screws 6mm in
diameter.
