Views

The views available on your Matrix™ Fishing System are:

3D Sonar View

3D/2D Sonar Combo View

6-Beam Sonar View

2D Sonar View

2D Zoom View

2D Big Digits View.

in order to let you see information that would otherwise be masked by the terrain. Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to change the perspective. The perspective can be re-set to the default view by selecting Reset View from the X-Press™ menu.

If a return meets certain criteria one of 18 kinds of fish symbols will be assigned. There are three different size fish symbols to indicate the intensity of the return and each of the six beams has a unique set of fish symbols (see Fish ID+™ on the Main Menu Sonar Tab for more information).

Six additional Digital Readouts display information from optional-purchase accessories. These information boxes can be customized to show only the information desired (see Setup Menu Tab, Select Readouts).

3D Sonar View is the default view. When the VIEW key is pressed, the display cycles through the available views. When the EXIT key is pressed, the display cycles through the available views in reverse order. Any view can be hidden or displayed as part of the view rotation using the Views Menu tab.

NOTE: When you change any menu settings that affect the sonar, the view will update immediately (i.e. you don’t have to exit the menu to apply the change to the screen). For instance, by switching between "Inverse" and "Structure ID®" from the X-Press™ Menu it is possible to quickly alternate between the two viewing methods.

NOTE: If the Depth number is flashing, it means that the unit is having trouble locating the bottom. This usually happens if the water is too deep, the transducer is out of the water, the boat is moving too fast, or for any other reason that the unit can’t accurately receive continuous data.

3D Sonar View

3D Sonar View displays a 3-dimensional representation of the bottom. Depth is always displayed in the upper left hand corner. Temperature and speed are displayed if the temp/speed paddle wheel is connected or if a GPS receiver is connected. The sonar returns from each of the six elements are combined to create a 3-dimensional wire-frame representation of the bottom. The graphic depiction of the bottom provides you with an effective tool for understanding the terrain beneath the boat. The boat symbol represents the location of your boat in relation to the on-screen information.

The most recent sonar returns are charted on the upper right side of the screen and move to the lower left as new information is received. The width of coverage is approximately equal to the depth. Depth range is automatically selected to keep the bottom visible on the display. 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,
