About the Radar Overlay

The Radar Overlay superimposes radar information on the Navigation chart or the Fishing chart. Data appears
on the Radar Overlay based on the most-recently used radar mode (Cruising, Harbor, Offshore, or Sentry),
and all settings configurations applied to the Radar Overlay are also applied to the last-used radar mode. For
example, if you use Harbor mode and then you switch to the Radar Overlay, the Radar Overlay would show
Harbor mode radar data. If you changed the gain setting using the Radar Overlay menu, the gain setting for
Harbor mode would change automatically.
