The bottom depth and surface temperature (if the unit is equipped with

a temperature sensor or a transducer with a temp sensor built in) show

at the top left corner of the screen.
The FasTrack™ display shows just to the right of the scale. This

changes all echoes into short horizontal bars, replicating a flasher so-

nar. The zoom bar on the far right shows the area that is zoomed when

the zoom is in use. (See the Zoom section for more information.)

Full Sonar Chart. The Overlay Data (depth and water temperature)

are set to a different text size.

Split Zoom Sonar Chart

A split chart shows the underwater world from the surface to the bot-

tom on the right side of the screen. The left side shows an enlarged ver-

sion of the right side. The zoom range shows at the bottom left corner of

the screen.
