Sonar Fishfinder
When properly connected to a transducer, your compatible
chartplotter can be used as a fishfinder. Chartplotter models
without an xsv or xs in their names require a Garmin sounder
module and transducer to display sonar information.
For more information about which transducer is best for your
needs, go to
.
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 full-
screen 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 (
) or a SmartMode layout (
).

Traditional Sonar View

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.
