3D/2D Combo View
3D/2D Combo View
displays a 3-dimensional representation of the bottom
next to the traditional 2-dimensional sonar representation. The 3D/2D Sonar
Combo View is especially useful for evaluating the bottom terrain from the
3D window while simultaneously viewing the 2D window for structure and
bottom hardness. A green arrow points to the side that is active (see
Sonar
X-Press™ Menu: Active Side
for more information). You can also adjust the
size of the left side of a split screen (see
Sonar X-Press™ Menu: Split
Position
for more information).
The 3D side of the view uses a combination of the sonar returns from each
of the six transducer elements to create a 3-dimensional wireframe
representation of the bottom. The graphic depiction of the bottom provides
you with an effective tool for understanding the terrain beneath the boat.
The boat icon represents the location of your boat in relation to the on-
screen information.
The most recent sonar returns are charted on the upper right side of the
screen and move to the lower left as new information is received. The width
of coverage is approximately equal to the depth. Depth range is
automatically selected to keep the bottom visible on the display. In some
situations, the selected point of view may prevent the display of some
information due to the slope of the terrain. An option is available to change
the perspective, or viewpoint, in order to let you see information that would
otherwise be masked by the terrain. Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to
change the perspective. The perspective can be re-set to the default view
by selecting Reset View from the X-Press™ menu.
If a return meets certain criteria one of 18 kinds of fish symbols will be
assigned. There are three different size fish symbols to indicate the intensity
of the return and each of the six beams has a unique set of fish symbols (see
Fish ID+™ on the Main Menu Sonar Tab for more information).
