Whiteline
The GSD 20 or GSD 21 can help you determine whether the bottom
is hard or soft. When the sonar sound waves are reflected back
by the bottom, a hard bottom returns a stronger signal than a soft
bottom. A thin whiteline indicates a softer bottom, while a thick
whiteline indicates a harder bottom. Normally, a red line is used
to show the point where water meets the bottom. This line follows
the bottom contour, along with any significant objects lying on the
bottom. The unit uses the whiteline function to make the bottom
layer information easier to distinguish.

Thermoclines
A rough definition of a thermocline is a break in water where
the water temperature changes faster than the water above it.
Thermoclines are shown as the weakest colors.
One of the unique features offered by Garmin is See-Thru
®
technology, which allows the GPSMAP 376C to hear both weak and
strong signals simultaneously so it can identify fish returns under
the toughest conditions, such as suspended in thermoclines or even
hiding near structures. See-Thru technology allows the GSD 20 or
GSD 21 to “see” through thermoclines and helps locate fish where
they live.
