What’s on the 2D Sonar Display 

What’s on the 2D Sonar Display

The 700 Series™ Fishing System can display a variety of useful information 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE

: Entries in this view that list (with Temp/Speed or GPS Receiver) are available if 

 

   

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

the information from the GPS receiver will be displayed on the view.

Depth 

- Water depth can be set to alarm when

the water becomes too shallow.

Temperature

- Water surface temperature.

Timer

-  Elapsed  time  with  Temp/Speed

Accessory.

Distance

- Distance traveled with Temp/Speed

Accessory.

Average  Speed

-  Average  speed  reading  with

Temp/Speed Accessory.

Second  Sonar  Return

-  When  the  sonar  signal

bounces between the bottom and the surface of the
water and back again. Use the appearance of the
second return to determine bottom hardness. Hard
bottoms will show a strong second return, while soft
bottoms will show a very weak one or none at all. 

Speed

- If a Temp/Speed accessory is attached,

the Fishing System can display the speed of the
boat and can keep a Triplog of nautical or statute
miles traveled.

Cursor  Dialog  Box  - 

Displays  on  the  view

when the cursor is active.
