Auto Power Up Isn't Working on Garmin Marine Chartplotter

If multiple chartplotters are networked, when one device powers on, the rest should also turn on. If some of the devices are not powering up on the network, check the following.

Chartplotters with this feature

GPSMAP® 7x2 chartplotters | GPSMAP® 9x2 chartplotters 

GPSMAP® 10x2 chartplotters | GPSMAP® 12x2 chartplotters 

GPSMAP® 7x3 chartplotters | GPSMAP® 9x3 chartplotters | GPSMAP® 12x3 chartplotters | GPSMAP® 16x3 chartplotters

GPSMAP® 74xx chartplotters | GPSMAP® 76xx chartplotters 

GPSMAP® 84xx chartplotters | GPSMAP® 86xx chartplotters 

GPSMAP® 90xx chartplotters | GPSMAP® 92xx chartplotters

1. Double-check that the device that is 'not powering on' is not just asleep by tapping the power button once

   • If the device is going to sleep and it should power up with the other chartplotter(s), ensure that the devices are set up as the same station

2. Ensure all devices are connected via Garmin® Marine Network Cable; go to Options > Settings > Communications > Marine Network

3. If the chartplotters connect via GCV™ 10 black box sonar or GCV™ 20 black box sonar, the sonar box will not operate as a network switch. If that feature is needed, install a GMS™ 10 network port expander on the vessel

For directions on station setup, refer to the Owner's Manual. 

NOTE: Auto Power Up will still power on networked units even if the feature is disabled.
