Lowrance electronic 10764001 Scanning Fishing areas, Sharing files, Show StructureMap .smf files

Sharing files

After structure sonar log (.sl2) files are converted to StructureMap (.smf ) files, they can be saved to a SD card and used on other GPS capable HDS Gen 2 units without the need for the StructureScan module.

Show StructureMap (.smf) files

You can view StructureMap (.smf ) files from the Files menu, which allows you to quickly see what area each StructureMap file covers.

Scanning Fishing areas

With the Structure Source set to the default Live mode, steer the boat over the desired location to scan the area. When conducting a side-by-side scan of an area, you will get a cleaner scan if you do not overlap history trails and you turn off auto ranging on the SideScan.

¼¼ NOTE: Optimal speed for viewing or logging StructureMap data is between 2-8 mph (3-12 kmh). Live mode is disabled for speeds greater than 10 mph.

Scanning tips

•To get a picture of taller structure (a wreck, etc) — don’t drive over it. Steer the boat so the structure will be on the left or right side of your boat.

•Set your structure range to a significantly greater level (two-to-three times) than the water depth to ensure a complete scan and to maxi- mize conversion accuracy.
