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

Traditional Sonar View
There are several full-screen views available, depending on the
transducer that is connected.

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.

Split-Frequency Sonar View
In the split-frequency sonar view, the two sides of the screen
show a full-view graph of sonar data of different frequencies.
NOTE: The split-frequency sonar view requires the use of a
dual-frequency transducer.
Split-Zoom Sonar View
The split-zoom sonar view shows a full-view graph of sonar
readings, and a magnified portion of that graph, on the same
screen.
Garmin ClearVü Sonar View
NOTE: To receive Garmin ClearVü scanning sonar, you need a
compatible chartplotter or fishfinder and a compatible
transducer. For information about compatible transducers, go to
garmin.com/transducers.

(Creating a
Traditional transducers emit a conical beam. The Garmin
ClearVü scanning sonar technology emits two narrow beams,
similar to the shape of the beam in a copying machine. These
beams provide a clearer, picture-like image of what is beneath
the boat.
SideVü Sonar View
NOTE: Not all models provide built-in SideVü sonar support. If
your model does not provide built-in SideVü sonar, you need a
compatible sounder module and compatible SideVü transducer.
If your model does provide built-in SideVü sonar, you need a
compatible SideVü transducer.
SideVü scanning sonar technology shows you a picture of what
lies to the sides of the boat. You can use this as a search tool to
find structures and fish.

SideVü Scanning Technology
Instead of a more common conical beam, the SideVü transducer
uses a flat beam to scan the water and bottom to the sides of
your boat.
