Selecting a Sonar Source
This feature may not be available with all models.
When you are using more than one sonar data source for a particular sonar
view, you can select the source to use for that sonar view. For example, if you
have two sources for Garmin ClearVü, you can select the source to use from
the Garmin ClearVü sonar view.
1
Open the sonar view for which you will change the source.
2
Select
MENU
>
Sonar Setup
>
Source
.
3
Select the source for this sonar view.
Renaming a Sonar Source
You can rename a sonar source to easily identify that source. For example,
you use “Bow” as the name of the transducer on the bow of your boat.
The source is renamed for the present view only. For example, to rename
the Garmin ClearVü sonar source, you must open the Garmin ClearVü sonar
view.

From the sonar view, select

2
Enter the name.
Adjusting the Level of Detail
You can control the level of detail and noise shown on the sonar screen either
by adjusting the gain for traditional transducers or by adjusting the brightness
for Garmin ClearVü transducers.
If you want to see the highest intensity signal returns on the screen, you can
lower the gain or brightness to remove lower intensity returns and noise. If
you want to see all return information, you can increase the gain or brightness
to see more information on the screen. This also increases noise, and can
make it more difficult to recognize actual returns.

Select an option:
• To increase or decrease the gain or brightness manually, turn the knob.
• To allow the AQUAMAP to adjust the gain or brightness automatically,
select an automatic option.
Adjusting the Color Intensity
You can adjust the intensity of colors and highlight areas of interest on the
sonar screen by adjusting the color gain for traditional transducers or the
contrast for Garmin ClearVü and SideVü/ClearVü transducers. This setting
works best after you have adjusted the level of detail shown on the screen
using the gain or brightness settings.
If you want to highlight smaller fish targets or create a higher intensity display
of a target, you can increase the color gain or contrast setting. This causes
a loss in the differentiation of the high intensity returns at the bottom. If you
want to reduce the intensity of the return, you can reduce the color gain or
contrast.

Sonar Frequencies
NOTE:
The frequencies available depend on the AQUAMAP, sounder
modules, and transducer being used.
Adjusting the frequency helps adapt the sonar for your particular goals and
the present depth of the water.
Higher frequencies use narrow beam widths, and are better for high-speed
