Side/Sonar Combo View

(1197c SI Combo models only)

Side/Sonar Combo View shows regular sonar information and side imaging sonar information in a combination split screen. You can perform any of the functions for either of these views, but only when the view you want to control is selected as the active side (see Sonar X-Press™ Menu: Active Side or Side Imaging X-Press™ Menu: Active Side for more information). You can also adjust the size of the left side of a split screen (see Sonar X-Press™ Menu: Split Position or Side Imaging X-Press™ Menu: Split Position for more information).

In this view, you can change which side you look at, the sensitivity of the sonar to allow you to see more or less, the range of the side beams, the scrolling speed of the chart, and the color scheme of the display.

NOTE: See Side Imaging View and Sonar View for more information about each side of this view.

NOTE: This view is only available on 1197c SI Combo models.
