USING SONAR > UNDERSTANDING SONAR
Scale—controls the depth Scale shows vertically along the right
side of the graph. The depth Scale can be configured to show four
different ways: as an Overlay, in the Corners, with Basic, or No
Scale.
Custom Range—allows you to specify a custom viewing range
or scale. When On, this range appears as Custom in the Range
setting. The left value is the top of the scale and the right value is
the bottom of the scale.
Water
Temperature and Water Speed—hides or shows
temperature and water speed on the Sonar Page. When set to Auto,
the unit automatically shows this information, only if it is received
from the transducer.
Color Scheme
—sets the color on the Sonar Page.
NOTE: If the unit is unable to track the bottom for any reason,
the digits in the depth window flash on and off to alert you that
the unit is not tracking the bottom.
Understanding Sonar
The transducer mounted on your vessel transmits sound waves
toward the bottom of a lake, stream, or seabed in a cone-shaped
pattern. When a transmitted sound wave strikes an underwater
object—such as the bottom, a piece of structure, or a fish—sound
is reflected back to the transducer. The transducer collects the
reflected sound waves and sends the data to the GPSMAP 292/298
to process and show. The underwater data is shown on the Sonar
Page in the order that it is returned: first returned is the first on the
screen.
Generally speaking, if the only thing between the transducer and
the bottom is water, the first strong return comes from the bottom
directly below the transducer and sets the bottom level. Weaker
secondary returns provide the detailed data. Stronger returns show
in darker colors, with the most intense color for the color scheme
selected (default is red) being the strongest return.
