When connected to a transducer, your unit becomes a powerful
fishfinder/flasher. If your unit does not have a built-in sounder, you
can connect a Garmin GSD 21 or GSD 22 sounder module to your
unit to use the sonar features.

Understanding the Flasher
The Flasher screen (dual beam transducer only) provides an almost
instantaneous return of what is below your boat. The depth scale is
organized as a ring that starts at the top, or 12:00, and progresses
clockwise. Sonar information flashes on the ring when it is received
at the depth indicated on the inside ring. Like the regular graph, the
colors indicate different strengths of the sonar return.
