Views And Readouts; 3D/2D Combo View - Humminbird 947C Installating And Operation Manual

531374-1_A - 947 Man.qxd 2/15/2005

VIEWS AND READOUTS

All views have an Information Bar on the left side of the screen, consisting of readouts
that are stacked vertically, and that change from view to view. You can customize the
information displayed in individual readouts on many views, including suppressing a
particular readout so that nothing is displayed; the ability to customize readouts
depends on the view and whether you are navigating (see Setup Menu Tab, Select
Readouts for more information).

3D/2D COMBO VIEW

3D/2D Combo View displays a 3-dimensional representation of the bottom next to
the traditional 2-dimensional sonar representation. The 3D/2D Sonar Combo View is
especially useful for evaluating the bottom terrain from the 3D window while
simultaneously viewing the 2D window for structure and bottom hardness. A green
arrow points to the side that is active (see Sonar X-Press™ Menu: Active Side for
more information). You can also adjust the size of the left side of a split screen (see
Sonar X-Press™ Menu: Split Position for more information).
The 3D side of the view uses a combination of the sonar returns from each of the
six transducer elements to create a 3-dimensional wireframe representation of the
bottom. The graphic depiction of the bottom provides you with an effective tool for
understanding the terrain beneath the boat. The boat icon represents the location
of your boat in relation to the on-screen information.
The most recent sonar returns are charted on the upper right side of the screen and
move to the lower left as new information is received. The width of coverage is
approximately equal to the depth. Depth range is automatically selected to keep the
bottom visible on the display. In some situations, the selected point of view may
prevent the display of some information due to the slope of the terrain. An option is
available to change the perspective, or viewpoint, in order to let you see information
that would otherwise be masked by the terrain. Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to

change the perspective. The perspective can be re-set to the default view by selecting
Reset View from the X-Press™ menu.
If a return meets certain criteria one of 18 kinds of fish symbols will be assigned. There
are three different size fish symbols to indicate the intensity of the return and each of
the six beams has a unique set of fish symbols (see Fish ID+™ on the Main Menu Sonar
Tab for more information).
NOTE: See 2D Sonar View for more information about the 2D side of this view.
