actual speed, you will enter – 10 in the calibration window. If the
sensor is reading 5 percent slower than true speed, you will enter + 5 in
the window.
A good way to gauge your speed sensor's performance is to compare its
reading with the ground speed measured by your unit's GPS functions.
When you make a run to compare GPS ground speed to speed sensor
speed, perform your test in relatively calm water free of current, if
possible. (Unless, of course, you are taking the current speed into
consideration when making your calculation.) After you have a correct
figure, here's how to enter it:

Chart Speed
The rate echoes scroll across the screen is called the chart speed. The
default is maximum. We recommend you leave the setting there for
virtually all fishing conditions.
You, however, might consider experimenting with chart speed when
you are stationary or drifting very slowly. You may sometimes achieve
better images as you slow the chart speed to match how fast you are
moving across the bottom.
If you are at anchor, ice fishing or fishing from a dock, experiment with
a chart speed around 50 percent. If you are drifting slowly, try a chart
speed around 75 percent. When you are stationary and a fish swims
through the sonar signal cone, the image appears on the screen as a
long line instead of a fish arch. Reducing the chart speed may result in
a shorter line that more closely resembles a regular fish return.
