When properly connected to an optional Garmin sounder
module and a transducer, your compatible chartplotter can be
used as a fishfinder. There are three different sonar views to
help you view the fish in the area: a full-screen view, a split-
zoom view, and a split frequency view.
Full-Screen Sonar View
The full-screen sonar view shows 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.
Select Sonar > Full Screen.

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.
Select Sonar > Split Zoom.

Split-Frequency Sonar View
In the split-frequency sonar view, one side of the screen shows
a full-view graph of high frequency sonar data, and the other
side of the screen shows a full-view graph of lower frequency
sonar data.
NOTE: The split-frequency sonar view requires the use of a
dual-frequency transducer.
Select Sonar > Split Frequency.

Select an option:
• To increase or decrease the gain manually, select Up or
Down.

select an automatic option.
Adjusting the Range of the Depth Scale
You can adjust the range of the depth scale that appears on the
right side of the screen.

Select an option:
• To zoom in on the sonar data from the bottom depth,
select Bottom Lock.
• To set the depth range of the magnified area manually,
select Set Zoom, select View Up or View Down to set
the depth range of the magnified area, and select Zoom
In or Zoom Out to increase or decrease the magnification
of the magnified area.
• To set the depth and zoom automatically, select Set

Selecting Frequencies
You can indicate which frequencies appear on the sonar screen
when using a dual frequency transducer.
1
From a Sonar view, select Menu > Frequency.
2
Select an option:
• To sweep each pulse through a range of frequencies to
deliver shallow-water-like target separation at extremely
deep depths and at low frequencies, select Chirp. This is
useful mainly for very deep, offshore waters and when
targeting some species of fish.
