Sonar Fishfinder When properly connected to a compatible transducer, your chartplotter can be used as a fishfinder. For more information about which transducer is best for your needs, go to garmin.com/transducers. Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area. The sonar views available vary depending on the type of transducer and sounder module connected to the chartplotter. For example, you can view certain Panoptix™ sonar screens only if you have a compatible Panoptix transducer connected. There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a fullscreen 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 (Creating a New Combination Page with the ECHOMAP UHD 70/90, page 2). Stopping the Transmission of Sonar Signals • To disable the active sonar, from the sonar screen, select MENU > Sonar Transmit. • To disable all sonar transmissions, press , and select Disable Sonar. Changing the Sonar View 1 From a combination screen with sonar, select MENU > Configure Combination > Edit Combination. 2 Select the window to change. 3 Select a sonar view. Traditional Sonar View There are several full-screen views available, depending on the transducer that is connected. The full-screen Traditional 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. Depth information Suspended targets or fish Bottom of the body of water 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. Garmin ClearVü high-frequency sonar provides a detailed picture of the fishing environment around the boat in a detailed representation of structures the boat is passing over. 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. Sonar Fishfinder 19
