Sonar
When properly connected to an optional Garmin
sounder
module and a transducer, your compatible chartplotter can be
used as a fishfinder. Different sonar views can help you view the
fish in the area.
The adjustments you can make to each sonar view vary
depending on the view you are in and the chartplotter model,
sounder module, and transducer you have connected.
For more information about which transducer is best for your
needs, go to
www.garmin.com/transducers.
Sonar Views
The sonar views available vary depending on the type of
transducer and optional sounder module connected to the
chartplotter. For example, you can view the Split Frequency
view only if you have a dual-frequency transducer connected.
There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a full-
screen view, a split-screen view that combines two or more
views, a split-zoom view, and a split-frequency view that
displays two different frequencies. You can customize the
settings for each view in the screen. For example, if you are
viewing the split-frequency view, you can separately adjust the
gain for each frequency.
If you do not see an arrangement of sonar views to suit your
needs, you can create a custom combination screen (
Adding a
Custom Combination Screen, page 3) or a SmartMode layout
(Adding a SmartMode
Layout, page
3)
.
Traditional Sonar View
There are several full-screen views available, depending on the
equipment connected.
