Pausing the Sonar Display

From a sonar view, select

Viewing Sonar History

You can scroll the sonar display to view historical sonar
data.
NOTE: Not all transducers save historical sonar data.
1 From a sonar view, drag the screen to the right.
2 Select Back to exit history.

Sonar Sharing

You can view the sonar data from all compatible sources
on the Garmin Marine Network. You can view sonar data
from a compatible external sonar module, such as a
GCV
sonar module. In addition, you can view the sonar
data from other chartplotters that have a built-in sonar
module.
Each chartplotter on the network can display sonar data
from every compatible sonar module and transducer
on the network, no matter where the chartplotters and
transducers are mounted on your boat. For example,
from one MFD 8622 device mounted at the back of
the boat, you can view the sonar data from another
GLASS COCKPIT device and Garmin ClearVü transducer
mounted at the front of your boat.
When sharing sonar data, the values of some sonar
settings, such as Range and Gain, are synchronized
across the devices on the network. The values of other
sonar settings, such as the Appearance settings, are
not synchronized and should be configured on each
individual device. In addition, the scroll rates of the
various traditional and Garmin ClearVü sonar views are
synchronized to make the split views more cohesive.
NOTE: Using multiple transducers simultaneously can
create cross talk, which can be removed by adjusting the
Interference sonar setting.
Zooming in a Panoptix LiveVü or LiveScope
Sonar View
You can zoom in on the Panoptix LiveVü and LiveScope
2D sonar views.
Sonar Fishfinder
.
NOTE: The scrolling history is hidden while the screen is
in zoom mode.
1 From a Panoptix LiveVü or LiveScope 2D sonar view,
spread two fingers apart to zoom in on the area.
An inset window
appears and displays a small
version of the full-screen image. The boxed area
in the inset shows the location of the zoomed area.
2 If necessary, tap or drag within the inset window to
view a different area of the full-screen view.
3 If necessary, spread two fingers apart to zoom in.
4 If necessary, pinch two fingers together to zoom out.
To exit zoom mode, select Back or pinch two fingers
together to zoom out until the screen returns to a full-
screen view.

Adjusting the Level of Detail

You can control the level of detail and noise shown on the
sonar screen either by adjusting the gain for traditional
transducers or by adjusting the brightness for Garmin
ClearVü transducers.
If you want to see the highest intensity signal returns
on the screen, you can lower the gain or brightness to
remove lower intensity returns and noise. If you want to
see all return information, you can increase the gain or
brightness to see more information on the screen. This
also increases noise, and can make it more difficult to
recognize actual returns.
1 From a sonar view, select Options.
2 Select Gain or Brightness.
3 Select an option:
• To increase or decrease the gain or brightness
manually, select Up or Down.
• To allow the chartplotter to adjust the gain or
brightness automatically, select an automatic option.

Adjusting the Color Intensity

You can adjust the intensity of colors and highlight areas
of interest on the sonar screen by adjusting the color
gain for traditional transducers or the contrast for Garmin
ClearVü/SideVü transducers. This setting works best after
you have adjusted the level of detail shown on the screen
using the gain or brightness settings.
If you want to highlight smaller fish targets or create a
higher intensity display of a target, you can increase the
color gain or contrast setting. This causes a loss in the
differentiation of the high intensity returns at the bottom.
