Instrument View

Instrument View allows you to display a digital instrument panel with 8 selectable readouts. This view provides a digital compass at the top of the view, as well as 8 selectable readouts, and a Cross Track Error (XTE) graphic at the bottom of the view. The XTE graphic shows the boat's position in relation to the Off Course Alarm limits, as well as the optimal route (shown as the dotted line in the middle).

For best results, you should try to keep the boat as close to the dotted line as possible. If your course exceeds the Off Course Alarm limits, an alarm will sound, and the boat icon will change position and will turn from black to red to indicate the alarm state.

NOTE: Bird's Eye Big Digits View, Chart Big Digits View, and Instrument View share the same set of eight readouts. When you change the readouts displayed on one of these views, the readouts are also changed on the other two views. See Navigation X-Press™ Menu: Select Readouts for more information.

Additionally, it supports optional Navionics charts, giving anglers a broader range of mapping tools to optimize their fishing experience.

The 786CI also includes features like an auto-chart function, allowing users to create custom maps based on their sonar readings. The built-in SmartStrike feature provides insights into the best fishing times and locations based on real-time data and historical trends, enhancing the chances of a successful catch.

Connectivity is another strong point with the Humminbird 786CI. The unit supports Ethernet networking, allowing for integration with other Humminbird devices and accessories. This capability also facilitates sharing data with others on the water, making it a perfect choice for competitive anglers.

In summary, the Humminbird 786CI combines advanced sonar technologies, accurate GPS mapping, and user-friendly features, making it an essential tool for anyone looking to enhance their fishing experience.
