3D Sonar
About 3D Sonar
3D Sonar is a multi-beam sonar technology that allows anglers to see fish, underwater
structures and bottom contours in customizable, three-dimensional views.
Requirements
The 3D Sonar page is available when a 3D Sonar capable transducer is connected to the
system via a 3D sonar module.
The 3D panel
In 3D view, the sea floor image is built up in real-time directly under the vessel as the boat
moves. If you are not moving the image will remain stagnant. You can also see other
underwater objects and clusters of fish. The 3D view shows both the left and right channels
of data.
A Depth, temperature, and frequency
B Transducer beam
C Range
D 3D panel buttons
E Depth indication line
F Zoom panel buttons
G Contrast
Zooming the image
You can zoom the image.
The zoom level is shown on the image. If the cursor is active, the system zooms in where the
cursor is positioned.
Using the cursor on a 3D image
By default, the cursor is not shown on the image.
On a 3D image, select the Cursor Enable panel button to use the cursor.
When the cursor is positioned on an image, the cursor information window and the history
bar are activated.
The cursor information window shows available data at the cursor position, including the
distance and range from the vessel to the cursor position.
The history bar is used to pan back in the stored data. The highlighted part of the History bar
shows the image you are currently viewing in relation to the total image history stored. Refer
to "Viewing image history" on page 87.
