Current information, or the terrain directly beneath your boat, is displayed on the lower right, and advances to the left as new information is received. The view created is an accurate depiction of the terrain which you have just covered.

In some situations, the selected point of view may prevent the display of some information due to the slope of the terrain. An option is available to change the perspective, or viewpoint, which enables you to see information that would otherwise be masked by the terrain. The Perspective menu will be discussed in more detail later in this manual under "Control Functions".

The 2D view shown in Figure B, will be familiar to previous sonar users. All the information collected by the six individual beams is compressed into a 2-dimensional presentation. The most current information is displayed on the right side of the screen and moves to the left as new information is received.

The Combo view combines a 3D and 2D representation of the same sonar information. This view is shown in Figure C and is especially useful in learning to use the 3D presentation.

If the Wide 3D Paramount is being used with a Wide Side TM transducer, the default view is shown in Figure D. Sonar information from both the left and right beams is shown.

Using the view button to toggle between the three main views gives you the maximum benefit of each type of view: The 3D view gives you an excellent representation of bottom terrain and target location. The 2D view is best for determining bottom hardness and texture and locating structure or bottom detail. The combo view combines both 3D and 2D views to provide the best of both views.

The fourth view available is the "Monster Digits" view, which increases the size of key digital information so that it can be viewed from a great distance. Normal 2D information is on the right side of the display. Pressing VIEW again will toggle back to the 3D view.

Depth, water surface temperature, and boat speed are displayed across the lower left part of the screen. The active menu appears in the upper left of the display. The boat icon appears in the upper right corner of the display and represents the location of the user's boat relative to the on- screen information. The location of the boat icon will change if the user changes the perspective. (see control functions)

The graphic depiction of the bottom provides the user with an effective tool for understanding the terrain beneath the boat. Each of the six sonar beams transmits a signal at a rate of about four times a second. the returned signals from each transmit are compared and evaluated before the

3D specifications

Humminbird 3D is a groundbreaking sonar technology that has revolutionized the way anglers and marine enthusiasts navigate and fish under the surface of water. Utilizing advanced imaging techniques, this system provides an unparalleled view of underwater structures, fish, and other elements, making it a vital tool for any serious angler.

At its core, Humminbird 3D employs a proprietary sonar technology that combines traditional 2D sonar with sophisticated 3D mapping capabilities. This dual functionality allows users to visualize underwater environments in a way that was previously unimaginable. The 3D views offer depth perception, enabling anglers to identify ledges, drop-offs, and other crucial fishing spots with precision. Instead of just a flat representation, users can see the terrain's contours, making it easier to understand the underwater landscape.

One of the standout features of Humminbird 3D is its ability to create real-time three-dimensional maps. This allows users to dynamically adjust their strategies while fishing, as they can continually monitor how fish are interacting with their surroundings. Furthermore, the system boasts enhanced target separation capabilities, making it easier to distinguish between individual fish and structures.

Another key technology utilized in Humminbird 3D is its integration with the CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) sonar technology. This allows for clearer images and improved target resolution, providing comprehensive details about various underwater elements. The result is greater accuracy in identifying fish species and understanding their behavior in relation to underwater structures.

Humminbird 3D also features an easy-to-use interface, designed to be intuitive for users of all experience levels. The system can be seamlessly integrated into existing Humminbird products, enhancing the functionality of existing setups without requiring a complete overhaul. Additionally, it supports connectivity with other devices, allowing for the sharing of data and enhancing the overall fishing experience.

Durability and reliability are also characteristics inherent to the Humminbird 3D system. Designed for the harsh environments of marine use, it can withstand the rigors of fishing and boating, ensuring that users have a dependable tool at their disposal.

In summary, Humminbird 3D is a game-changer in the realm of sonar technology, providing anglers with unprecedented insights into underwater environments. Its combination of 3D mapping, CHIRP sonar, real-time monitoring, and user-friendly interface makes it a valuable asset for anyone looking to enhance their fishing experience and gain an edge on the water.
