TYSM. I just got my first 86xx series XVS and this will help a lot. I have fresh water fishing boat and will need lots of help getting these dialed in. Do you have more videos that are similar ie, 101 videos?

Can you select an old track for a autopilot route?

[@lorneserpa5888]

Good day. You often refer to advanced setup of the garmin fuel video. Where is that advanced fuel setup video? Link? Thanks.

Hi Lorne, you can find our Garmin fuel calibration video here (note, this video uses a 7600 series, the settings within the 8600 series will be very similar however, you may come across minor differences in menu layout): kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4ecfHmZhcahjKs

Did anyone confirm for sure if garmin takes summer time into account or not? Tks.

We always get stuck trying to figure out how to search for a location then using auto guidance to get there. Can you recap steps to get to proper screen for that?
