Structure options You adjust the StructureMap settings from the Structure options menu. The menu is available when Structure overlay is enabled. Not all options are available when saved StructureMap files are used as the source. Unavailable options are greyed. Range Sets the search range. Transparency Sets the opaqueness of the Structure overlay. With minimum transparency settings, the chart details are almost hidden by the StructureMap overlay. Palette Selects Structure palette. Contrast Determines the brightness ratio between light and dark areas of the screen. Water column Shows/hides the water column in Live mode. If turned OFF schools of bait fish might not be seen on the SideScan image. If turned ON the accuracy of the SideScan image on the map might be affected by the water depth. Frequency Sets the transducer frequency used by the unit. 800 kHz offers the best resolution, while 455 kHz has greater depth and range coverage. Clear live history Clears existing live history data from the screen and begins showing only the most current data. 78 StructureMap | ELITE Ti Operator Manual
