Sonar
When properly connected to an optional Garmin sounder
module and a transducer, your compatible chartplotter can
be used as a fishfinder. Different sonar views can help you
view the fish in the area.
The adjustments you can make to each sonar view vary
depending on the view you are in and the chartplotter
model, sounder module, and transducer you have
connected.
Selecting the Transducer Type
Before you can select the transducer type, you must know
what kind of transducer you have.
This chartplotter is compatible with the Garmin ClearVi.i "
transducer as well as a range of accessory transducers
including Garmin GT transducers, which are available at
www.garmin.com.
If you are connecting a transducer that was not included
with the chartplotter, you may need to set the transducer
type to make the sonar function properly. If the device
automatically detected your transducer, this option does
not appear.
