What's under the boat?

The fishfinder application, when connected to a suitable Digital Sounder Module (DSM) and transducer, will help you to see fish, bottom structure and underwater obstructions. The image scrolls from right to left at an automatically selected range and frequency to provide a record of the echoes seen. You can mark with a waypoint any positions of interest that you may wish to return to. These waypoints are added to the waypoint list and can be used by other applications.

How do I interpret the bottom?

A thin line indicates a hard		A wide line indicates a soft		Peaks and troughs, indicate an
bottom (sand)		bottom (mud or seaweed cover)		uneven or rocky bottom or a wreck

Dark layers indicate strong signals; lighter layers weaker signals.

What influences target display?

The shape and size of echoes indicating targets, is influenced by a combination of:
Boat speed - flatter at slower speeds	Transducer frequency - broader at lower frequencies
Target depth - larger near the surface	Target size - larger targets return larger echoes
