Bottom Presentation
Inverse is a method where weak returns are shown with dark pixels and strong returns with lighter pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that weak signals will be clearly visible on the display
Bottom Black displays all pixels below the bottom contour as black, regardless of signal strength. This has the benefit of providing a high contrast between the bottom and other sonar returns on the display. Any targets such as fish, structure and thermoclines will be shown using the Structure ID method

This includes bottom contour features drop-offs, humps, and holes, standing structure stumps, timbers, brush piles and a wide range of other potential objects sunken boats, reefs. Humminbird units excel at showing structure with great detail over a wider area due to unique sonar configurations developed for the angler
