When properly connected to an optional Garmin sounder
module and a transducer, your compatible chartplotter can be
used as a fishfinder. There are three different sonar views to
help you view the fish in the area: a full-screen view, a split-
zoom view, and a split frequency view.

Full-Screen Sonar View

The full-screen sonar view shows a large image of the sonar
readings from a transducer. The range scale along the right side
of the screen shows the depth of detected objects as the screen
scrolls from the right to the left.
Select Sonar > Full Screen.
