Converting files
To create a StructureMap file you must convert a structure sonar log (.sl2) file to StructureMap format (.smf ). This can be done automatically from the Sonar Log menu, or manually by converting logs from the Files menu. Due to the large size of StructureMap (.smf ) files, we recommend using an SD card when recording StructureMaps.
To have structure sonar log (.sl2) files automatically converted to StructureMap file format (.smf ), tap Convert to map when complete on the Sonar Log menu. The (.sl2) file will be converted to
a (.smf ) file when recording is stopped. You can convert logs after recording from the File utility. Refer to the Utilities section of this manual for more information.
¼¼ NOTE: Keep the size of your sonar logs to 100MB or less to allow for faster file conversion. Current file size is occasionally flashed on the screen during the recording process. You will not be able to use any of the unit’s other functions while a file is being converted.
Accessing StructureMap files on SD card
All StructureMap files on your SD card will automatically appear on the screen when Saved mode is selected.
