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
(
Creating a New Combination Page
). You can
also add sonar views to SmartMode layouts (
).
