For more information about which transducer is best for
your needs, go to garmin.com/transducers.
Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the
area. The sonar views available vary depending on the
type of transducer and sounder module connected to the
chartplotter. For example, you can view certain Panoptix
sonar screens only if you have a compatible Panoptix
transducer connected.
There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a full-
screen view, a split-screen view that combines two or
more views, a split-zoom view, and a split-frequency view
that displays two different frequencies. You can customize
the settings for each view in the screen. For example, if
you are viewing the split-frequency view, you can
separately adjust the gain for each frequency.
If you do not see an arrangement of sonar views to suit
your needs, you can create a custom combination screen
