Numeral Size

Numeral Size is the next Option menu. Two options are available: Big and Small. The factory setting is Big. With this setting, the digital depth and speed and temp numerals are drawn large enough to be readable from across the boat. The big numerals occupy space on the display which could be used for the graphics area. Hence, the small numerals option. With small numerals selected, a greater amount of the display area is available for the graphic view. This effectively increases the display resolution of the unit. Sonar targets which are very close together can often be displayed as separate targets, though the distance from which the numerals are readable is somewhat less.

Use the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight the desired selection, then press MENU to advance to the next menu.

Numeral Size settings are remembered when powered off.

Transducer

The Transducer option allows manual selection or identification of a non-standard transducer. The Tour Series is designed to work with the TriBeam transducer supplied with the unit. There are several instances in which an alternative transducer may be used (i.e. a Wide Side or a trolling motor mount transducer). Often two transducers are used in conjunction with a transducer switch to provide increased utility.

The Tour Series has the ability to positively identify a Tri-beam transducer. If this identification is made, the unit operates normally with no further input from the user. If a transducer other than the Tri-beam transducer is connected, the Tour Series will assume this transducer is a Wide Side transducer (available as an accessory) and the screen layout will change automatically to show the Wide Side display.

In the event that a non-standard transducer other than the Wide Side is

connected (Dual Beam), the user must manually identify this transducer so that the Tour Series can interpret the information received. Once this identification is made, the unit defaults to this setting whenever a nonstandard transducer is detected.

The Transducer Option menu provides three options; Tri-beam, dual, and side. If a Tri-beam transducer is connected to the unit, the Tribeam selection is highlighted. It is not possible to select one of the other options.

If a non-standard transducer is detected, an option other than Tri-beam is highlighted. If no previous user selection has been made, Side will be the default. If the Wide Side transducer is connected, then the proper selection has been made and no further user input is required. If a dual beam transducer is connected, use the ARROW buttons to highlight that selection. With dual selected, anytime the Tour Series detects a transducer other than the standard Tri-beam, the unit will assume that transducer is a dual beam.

Note: If a non-standard transducer is detected, it will not be possible to select the Tri-beam option in the Transducer Options menu. If a Tri-beam transducer is detected, only the Tri-beam selection is possible. Often it is desirable to use a transducer switch to connect two Tri-beam transducers or a Tri-beam transducer and a non-standard transducer to the Tour Series. In either of these situations, the Tour Series identifies the Tri-beam transducer and operates normally when that transducer is selected by the switch. If a non-standard transducer is selected by the switch, the Tour Series will assume that transducer is of the type identified in the Transducer Options menu, and will configure the display accordingly.

The integration of GPS also enables the creation of custom waypoints, routes, and tracks, enhancing connectivity to fishing hotspots. The AutoChart Live feature lets anglers create real-time maps of their fishing spots that highlight depth contours and bottom hardness, offering a customized view of their fishing environment.

The Tour Series is built to withstand the demanding conditions of fishing. With a rugged design and a bright, sunlight-readable display, these fish finders ensure visibility in various environments. The touchscreen interface is intuitive and responsive, allowing for easy adjustments on the fly. Additionally, the models are equipped with a robust transducer system that can achieve impressive depths and deliver accurate readings even in challenging waters.

The integration of the 360 Imaging feature is another standout characteristic. This capability offers a complete panoramic view of the water around the boat, providing additional data on fish and structure location. The ability to see a complete picture of the surroundings allows anglers to make better decisions in real time.

Lastly, the Tour Series doesn’t compromise on connectivity. With built-in Bluetooth and networking capabilities, anglers can connect multiple devices simultaneously and share data seamlessly. Whether you are monitoring multiple fishing rods or collaborating with fellow anglers, the Tour Series provides the tools necessary to enhance your fishing excursions.

In summary, the Humminbird Tour Series combines advanced sonar technology, comprehensive GPS mapping, durable construction, and connectivity features, making it a leader in the fishing electronics market.
