Single Beam Sonar, How GPS and Cartography Work | Humminbird 161

Single Beam Sonar

Your 100 Series™ Fishing System uses a 200 kHz Single Beam sonar system with a 20° area of coverage. The 20° beam is focused on the bottom, to show you structure, weeds and cover.

How GPS and Cartography Work

Your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System also supports GPS and chartplotting, and uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater information. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area.
