Chart Speed

Chart Speed determines the speed at which the

sonar information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail

shown. A faster speed shows more information and is preferred by most anglers;

however, the sonar information moves across the display quickly. A slower speed

keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and fish details become

compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Regardless of the Chart Speed setting,

the RTS® Window will update at the maximum rate possible for the depth

conditions. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal preference.

To adjust the Chart Speed:

1. Highlight Chart Speed on the Sonar X-Press

Menu.

2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the

Chart Speed setting. (1-9, Ultra, where 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast, Ultra = Fastest,

Default = 5)

Bottom View

Bottom View selects the method used to represent

bottom and structure on the display.

Inverse represents weak returns as dark pixels and strong returns as lighter pixels.

Thishas the benefit of ensuring that weaksignalswill be clearly visible on the display.

Structure ID® represents weak returns as light pixels and strong returns as dark

pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that strong returns will be clearly visible on

the display.

WhiteLine® highlights the strongest sonar returns in white resulting in a distinctive

outline. This has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom 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.
