The sonar returns show as red (strongest), then orange (strong),
yellow (medium), green (weaker), and blue (weakest). The Fish
Symbols option allows you to view the actual sonar data, a sh
symbol, or a combination of both. When the unit is set to Dual, the
appearance of the sh symbols changes. Returns from the center of
the beam (200 kHz) display solid (or narrow arches), and returns
from the edges of the beam (50 kHz) display hollow (or wide
arches).
The sonar display can also be set to show a split screen view of a
zoomed portion of the sonar, bottom lock (display scaled from the
bottom up), or a combination of these options. For example, you
can choose to show dual frequency at a 2X zoom (Dual 2X) on one
half and normal range dual frequency (Dual) on the other half. The
current display mode appears at the bottom of each sonar display.
