To record your custom map, you must have a reliable and accurate digital depth from a pinging 2D transducer. You can use your
Humminbird DualBeam PLUS transducer (83/200 kHz or 50/200 kHz), Side Imaging tranducer with 2D (down beam) capabilities,
or a CHIRP transducer with 2D (down beam) capabilities.
When you are recording your map, you should have only one 2D transducer pinging on your boat. If you have other 2D transducers
pinging on remote control heads, you should turn them off. Down Imaging and Side Imaging beams can operate at the same time.
You do not need to turn them off.
