How the Map Source Affects your Chart View Operations
The selected map source influences the menu system. When you change the map source, the menu options for the Chart Views
change, allowing you to add navigation data, shading, or alarms.
Install an SD or microSD chart card (separate purchase required) with specific maps or chart layers to add more detail to your
Chart views (see Using Chart Cards).
NOTE: Visit our Web site at humminbird.com for the latest compatibility information.
Using Built-in Charts
The SOLIX includes built-in charts by Humminbird and Navionics. Display the built-in charts and add data overlays and map layers
to customize your Chart view.
Humminbird Charts
When Humminbird is selected as the map source, you can use the system defaults, or you can set the menu settings to your
preference. You can use the built-in Humminbird Basemap or a Humminbird SD Chart Card (see Using Chart Cards).
1. Select Humminbird as the map source.
2. Under Humminbird, select Chart Cards or Basemap.

depth markings and spot soundings (for coastal areas).
Select this menu to review the information about the installed Humminbird chart card.
Adjust the setting to change the water level read by the control head. For example, if the lake
is down 5 feet, set the Water Level Offset setting to -5. The displayed numbers on the Contour
Lines will adjust from the Water Level Offset setting, and the water level offset will be
highlighted in brown to extend the land visually on the display.
To apply depth colors, depth highlight range, etc., go to the Chart X-Press Menu > Chart
Options > Humminbird Settings. See Customize the Humminbird Chart Display for more
information.
