Warning
It is your sole responsibility to install and use the instrument and transducer(s) in a manner
that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. Always observe safe
boating practices.
The choice, location, and installation of transducers and other components of the system
are critical to the performance of the system as intended. If in doubt, consult your Navman
dealer.
To reduce the risk of misusing or misinterpreting this instrument, you must read and
understand all aspects of this Installation and Operation Manual. We also recommend that
you practice all operations using the built-in simulator before using this instrument at sea.
Global Positioning System: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US
Government which is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The
GPS is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment anywhere in the world, including this instrument.
Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used by this instrument is an aid to navigation
designed to supplement, not replace, official government charts. Only official government
charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for safe
and prudent navigation. Always supplement the electronic information provided by this
instrument with other plotting sources such as observations, depth soundings, radar and
hand compass bearings. Should the information not agree, the discrepancy must be resolved
before proceeding any further.
Sonar performance: The accuracy of the sonar depth display can be affected by many
factors, including the type and location of the transducer and water conditions. Never use
this instrument to gauge depth or other conditions for swimming or diving.
Fuel data: Do not rely on this instrument as the sole source of information about fuel
available onboard. You must supplement this instrument’s fuel data with visual or other
checks of the fuel available. This is necessary because possible operator errors, such as
forgetting to reset the fuel used when filling the tank or running the engine with this
instrument not switched on, can render this instrument inaccurate. Fuel economy can
change drastically depending on boat loading and sea conditions. Always carry adequate
fuel onboard for the intended trip, plus a reserve to allow for unforeseen circumstances.
Simulate mode: Never have simulate mode on when you are navigating on the water.
Failure to adhere to these warnings may lead to death, serious injury or property
damage. Navman disclaims all liability for installation or use of this product that
causes or contributes to death, injury or property damage or that violates any law.

8120 Installation and Operation Manual5
1-1 Overview
The NAVMAN 8120 is a rugged, highly
integrated marine chartplotter and fishfinder.
It is easy to use and has a very large, easy
to read and use colour display. Complex
functions can be performed with only a few
key presses, taking the hard work out of
boating.
The available functions depend on the
optional sensors and instruments that are
installed:
The Video window requires the 8120 to
receive video from a compatible source,
such as a camera.
Fuel functions require one or more
petrol/gasoline or diesel fuel sensors to be
installed.
SmartCraft engine functions require a
SmartCraft system to be installed. For
information on using SmartCraft, see
the SmartCraft Gateway Installation and
Operation Manual.
DSC/Buddy track functions require an
appropriate Navman DSC VHF radio to be
installed.
The 8120 can send data to other
instruments, such as an autopilot, and
receive data from other instruments.
For information on installation options, see
section 18-2.
This manual describes how to install and
operate the 8120. Special terms are explained
in Appendix C. For more information on this
instrument and other Navman products, go
to our website, www.navman.com.
1-2 Cleaning and maintenance
The Instrument screen is covered by a
proprietary anti-reflection coating. To avoid
damage, clean the screen only with a damp
cloth and mild detergent when dirty or
covered in sea salt. Avoid abrasive cleaners,
petrol or other solvents. If a plug-in card gets
dirty or wet, clean it with a damp cloth or
mild detergent.
Cover or remove a transom-mounted
transducer when repainting the hull. If
painting over a through hull transducer with
antifouling paint, use only one coat of paint.

details automatically appear on the
Chart window. You can plug in up to two
chart cards at once. If the chart shows a
region not covered by a chart card, then it
displays a simplified built-in world chart.
User cards store navigation data. A
user card allows navigation data to
be transferred to another compatible
instrument (see section 14).
Removing a plug-in card
Handle plug-in cards carefully. Keep them
in their protective cases when not plugged
into the 8120.
Keep the 8120 card cover closed at all times
to prevent moisture from entering the card
compartment.

1 Press
The Instrument stores the boat’s position
as a waypoint called MOB.
2 The Instrument changes to the chart
window, with the MOB waypoint at the
centre of the chart.
The chart zooms in for accurate
navigation. If the chart can not show
the required small scale, the Instrument
changes to plotter mode (a white window
with crosshatching and no chart details,
see section 17-2).
3 The Instrument sets the MOB waypoint to
be the destination to navigate to.
If the NMEA output (autopilot) is off
(see section 17-10) use the Instrument to
manually navigate to the destination MOB
waypoint (see sections 3-1-1 and 3-1-2).
2-5 Alarms
When the Instrument detects an alarm
condition, it displays a warning message on
the display, the internal beeper sounds and
any external beepers or lights operate.
2-6 Simulate mode
In Simulate mode, the Instrument ignores
data from the GPS antenna and other
transducers and sensors and the Instrument
generates this data itself. Otherwise, the
Instrument functions normally.
There are two simulate modes:
• Normal: Allows a user to become familiar
with the Instrument off the water.
• Demo: Simulates a boat moving along a
route and automatically displays different
Instrument functions.
If the NMEA output (autopilot) is on, the
Instrument asks if the autopilot is active.
Select:
No: Use the Instrument to manually
navigate to the destination MOB
waypoint (see sections 3-1-1 and 3-1-2).
Yes: The Instrument asks if the boat is to
go to the MOB waypoint.
Select:
Yes: to immediately start navigating to the
MOB waypoint.
This might result in a sudden and
dangerous turn.
No: disengage the autopilot; then use
the Instrument to manually navigate
to the destination MOB waypoint (see
sections 3-1-1 and 3-1-2).
To cancel MOB or set another MOB

3-1 Introduction to navigating
The Instrument has two ways of navigating, going straight to a point or following a route.
3-1-1 Navigating to a point
When the Instrument is navigating to a
point, the chart and highway windows show
navigation data:
A The boat position .
B The destination point marked with a circle.
C The boat’s plotted course to the
destination.
D Two CDI lines, parallel to the boat’s plotted
course, which indicate the maximum
expected deviation from the plotted
course.
For more information, see appendix C.
If the Instrument is connected to an autopilot,
the Instrument will send data to the autopilot
to steer the boat to the destination. Start the
autopilot before starting to navigate to the
point.
If the Instrument has no autopilot, steer the
boat manually:
a use the boat position and destination on
the chart or highway windows
b or use navigation data displayed on the
data header (see section 2-7-3)
c or use COG and BRG on the compass (see
section 2-7-4).

display one track while recording another.
To work with tracks, see section 17-6.
The Instrument can store five tracks:
Track 1 can hold up to 2000 points and is
intended to record the normal progress of
the boat.
Tracks 2, 3, 4 and 5 can hold up to 500
points each and are intended to record
sections to be retraced accurately, for
example entering a river mouth.
Tip: Record a reference tracks and then
use the track to help navigate the same trip
later. For example, record a reference track
as you leave harbour. Then if you return to
harbour and visibility is poor, select the chart
and navigate manually along the reference
track back into the harbour. Record reference
tracks in good conditions.

When recording is on and the track becomes
full then recording continues and the oldest
points in the track are deleted. The maximum
length of a track depends on the selected
track interval: a small interval will give a
shorter, more detailed track and a long
interval will
give a longer, less detailed track, as shown in
these examples:
Time intervals
Interval Track 1 Track 2, 3, 4 or 5
1 sec 33 minutes 8 minutes
10 sec 5.5 hours 1.4 hours
1 min 33 hours 8 hours
Distance intervals
Interval Track 1 Track 2, 3, 4 or 5
0.01 20 5
1 2,000 500
10 20,000 5,000
The track lengths are in the current distance units, for example
nm.
