Accessing StructureMap files on SD card
All StructureMap files on your SD card or in the unit’s internal memory will
automatically appear on the screen when Saved mode is selected.
Recording Structure data
To record structure data, steer your boat
over an area and select
Log Sonar data
from
the Structure Options menu. Refer to your
operation manual for more information about
sonar log options.
Converting files
To create a StructureMap file you must convert a structure sonar log (.sl2)
file to StructureMap format (.smf). This can be done automatically from
the Sonar Log menu, or manually by converting logs from the Files menu.
We recommend using an SD card for recording when possible, due to the
limited size of the HDS internal memory. To have structure sonar log (.sl2)
files automatically converted to StructureMap file format (.smf), turn on
Convert to map when complete
on the Sonar Log menu. The (.sl2) file will be
converted to a (.smf) file when recording is stopped.
nOtE
: For best results, we recommend turning off Auto Range when
recording a structure sonar log (.sl2).

nOtE
: Keep the size of your sonar logs to 100MB or less to allow for
faster file conversion. Current file size is occasionally flashed on the
screen during the recording process. You will not be able to use any of
the unit’s other functions while a file is being converted.
