Sharing files
After structure sonar log (.sl2) files are converted to StructureMap (.smf)
files, they can be saved to a SD card and used on other GPS capable HDS
Gen 2 units without the need for the LSS-1 StructureScan module.
Scanning Fishing areas
With the Structure Source set to the default Live mode, steer the boat over
the desired location to scan the area. When conducting a side-by-side scan
of an area, you will get a cleaner scan if you do not overlap history trails and
you turn off auto ranging on the sidescan.
Scanning tips
•
To get a picture of taller structure (a wreck, etc) — don’t drive over
it. Steer the boat so the structure will be on the left or right side
of your boat.
• Set your structure range to a significantly greater level (two-to-
three times) than the water depth to ensure a complete scan and
to maximize conversion accuracy.
Side-by-side scan
NOTE
:
Optimal speed for viewing or logging StructureMap data
is between 2-8 mph (3-12 kmh). Live mode is disabled for speeds
greater than 10 mph.
