Sonar Fishfinder

When properly connected to a compatible transducer, your

ECHOMAP Plus device can be used as a fishfinder.

For more information about which transducer is best for your needs, go to www.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 Garmin ClearVü ™ sonar screens only if you have a compatible Garmin

ClearVü 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.

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.
