StructureMap tips
To get a picture of taller structures (a wreck, etc.) — do not drive
over it, instead, steer the boat so the structure is on the left or
right side of your vessel.
Do not use Autorange when using StructureScan. Set your
structure range to a significantly greater level (two-to-three
times) than the water depth to ensure a complete scan and to
maximize conversion accuracy.
Do not overlap history trails when conducting a side-by-side scan
of an area.
Recording StructureScan data
StructureScan data can be recorded from a chart panel with
Structure overlay enabled.
StructureScan recordings can also be started from a StructureScan
panel.
When StructureScan data is being recorded, there is a flashing red
symbol and a message appears periodically at the bottom of the
screen.

Note:
The message includes information about file size.
Keep the size of your logs to 100MB or less to allow for
faster file conversion.
