Fill.

• To continuously record a track log, replacing the oldest

track data with new data, select Wrap.

When properly connected to an optional Garmin sounder

module and a transducer, your compatible chartplotter can be

used as a fishfinder. There are different sonar views to 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.

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 adjust the gain for

each of the frequencies separately.

If you do not see an arrangement of sonar views to suit your

needs, you can create a custom screen

Full-Screen Sonar View

There are several full-screen views available, depending on the

equipment connected. The full-screen sonar views show a large

image of the sonar readings from a transducer. The range scale

along the right side of the screen shows the depth of detected

objects as the screen scrolls from the right to the left.
