What's On the Sonar Display

The FishFinder can display a variety of useful information about the area under and adjacent to
Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm when
the water becomes too shallow.
Cursor - available in Freeze Frame and can be
positioned in the Sonar View to provide depth of a
sonar return and bottom depth below the cursor.
Temperature - water surface temperature.
Timer - Elapsed time with Temp/Speed
Accessory or GPS Receiver.
Distance - Distance traveled with Temp/Speed
Accessory or GPS Receiver.
Average Speed - Average speed reading with
Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver.
Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS
Receiver is attached, the Matrix™ can display the
speed of the boat, and can keep a Triplog of
nautical or statute miles traveled.
Second Sonar Return - when the sonar signal
bounces between the bottom and the surface of the
water and back again. Use the appearance of the
second return to determine bottom hardness. Hard
bottoms will show a strong second return, while soft
bottoms will show a very weak one or none at all.
Cursor Dialog Box - indicates cursor depth on the
display and the depth of the bottom directly below
the cursor. In addition, the Latitude and Longitude
of the cursor position is shown, the distance to
travel to the cursor position and the bearing to the
cursor position. A waypoint can be marked at the
cursor position for later retrieval and use.
NOTE: Entries in this view that list (with Temp/Speed or GPS Receiver) are available if either device is
GPS receiver will be displayed on the view.

and different times of the year. A thermocline
typically appears as a continuous band of many
colors moving across the display at the same
depth.
Fish - are displayed as arches and/or fish
icons, and can be set to alarm when a fish of
a certain size is detected. When a target is
detected, a Fish ID+
display with the depth displayed above it.
The size of the symbol indicates the intensity
of the sonar return. The unit will clearly show
schools of Bait Fish as "clouds" of different
shapes and sizes, depending on the number
of fish and boat speed.
