VRM

"VRM" means "Variable Range Marker." On this unit, the
VRM feature offers a way of finding the depth of an object
on the display. When used with the FishFinder Page, the
VRM feature creates a horizontal line across the display.
Using the
can move this line up or down on the display. As the line
moves, a number shows the depth indicated by the line. By
moving the line so that it covers a particular target on the
display, you can find the depth of that target. When the
Bottom Lock Mode is turned on, the VRM line measures a
distance up from the bottom. When the optional Sidelooker
Mode is in use, there may be two vertical VRM lines - one
to either side of the centerline. You can move these lines

This unit can detect and display the speed of the boat
through the water. It also uses the speed information to
calculate the distance traveled (the "log"). The item for
Speed Cal allows you to adjust the speed reading to make
it match your actual speed through the water. It presents a
reading in percentage points. A reading of 100% means
the speed readings from the factory default calibration are
accurate, and the unit does not need any correction. If the
