the history length that will show up behind the vessel icon.  Typically it will 

display the last 4-5 minutes of recording.  Live mode allows the user to quick-

ly identify interesting areas of the lake and how they relate to vessel position.  

It also allows the user to scroll back and zoom in on a recently scanned areas 

of the lake to look at additional details of what was scanned.  Live mode does 

not save any data. If the unit is turned off, all recent sonar history is lost. 

You 

must have Structurescan installed on your boat to use Live mode.

Saved mode

Displays StructureMap (.smf) files that have been created from structure 

sonar log (.sl2) files. Saved mode is used to view a map of the underwater 

environment that can be reviewed and examined either on or off of the 

water.  It can be used when revisiting an area that has already been scanned 

in order to assist the user in positioning the vessel or locating specific points 

of interest.

NOTE

If there is more than one StructureMap of the same area on 

the same SD card, the maps will overlap on your screen. If you want 

to have more than one map of the same area, you should put the 

maps on separate SD cards.
