The microcomputer is sophisti-
cated, but it can be fooled. It
can’t distinguish between fish
and other suspended objects
such as trotlines, turtles, sub-
merged floats, air bubbles, etc.
Individual tree limbs extending
outwards are very hard for the
unit to distinguish from fish. You
may see fish symbols on the
screen when there actually are
no fish. Practice with the unit in
both the Fish I.D. mode and
without to become more familiar with the Fish I.D. feature.
To turn the Fish I.D. feature on, press the MENU key, then press the key
next to the “Sonar Controls” label. Now press the key adjacent to the “Fish
I.D.” label. Finally, press the CLR key. The screen clears, drawing the
sonar information without the surface clutter. This doesn’t show when the
Fish I.D. feature is on. Only the bottom and structure attached to the bottom
along with fish symbols appear when the Fish I.D. feature is on.
If the unit is in the manual mode when you turn Fish I.D. on, the automatic
mode is also enabled. Fish I.D. doesn’t work in the manual mode.
FishTrack™
Numbers appear above the fish
symbols when the Fish I.D. fea-
ture is turned on. These num-
bers are the depth of the target
at that fish symbol’s location.
This depth feature is called
“FishTrack” and can be turned
off, if desired.
To turn the FishTrack feature
off or on, press the MENU key,
then press the key next to the
“Sonar Controls” label. Now
press the key next to the “More” label until the “FishTrack” label appears.
Press the key next to that label. The GlobalMap 2000 will stop placing
depth numbers on following fish symbols. Repeat the above steps to turn
FishTrack on.
