Adjusting The Zoom; Locking The Screen To The Water Bottom; Sonar Gain; Setting The Gain Automatically - Garmin STRIKER PLUS Owner's Manual

Adjusting the Zoom

You can adjust the zoom manually by specifying the span and a fixed starting depth. For example, when the
depth is 15 m and the starting depth is 5 m, the device displays a magnified area from 5 to 20 m deep.
You also can allow the device to adjust the zoom automatically by specifying a span. The device calculates the
zoom area from the bottom of the water. For example, if you select a span of 10 m, the device displays an
magnified area from the bottom of the water to 10 m above the bottom.

• Select Split Zoom to turn on the split-zoom view.

Locking the Screen to the Water Bottom

You can lock the screen to the water bottom. For example, if you select a span of 20 meters, the device shows

Sonar Gain

The gain setting controls the sensitivity of the sonar receiver to compensate for water depth and water clarity.
Increasing the gain shows more detail, and decreasing the gain reduces screen clutter.
