Before getting started, consider the areas where you want to create a map. Review the following tips to help you plan your map:
General Tips
• Start with your favorite fishing hot spots. It is not recommended to record survey data of an entire lake, as it will require a lot
of time to map and might include areas you don't want.
• Take a different route to and from each fishing spot every trip. You may discover new and interesting areas to map.
• Start a new track or recording when you start for the day. Record new data every trip to create new maps or improve existing maps.
• Navigate the boat at a consistent speed when recording data.
• See the illustration below for instruction on how to navigate your boat while recording survey data.
Mapping a Specific Area or Object in Detail
• Navigate the boat across the area rather than alongside.
• Turn the boat where the area and/or object is out of range of the transducer beam(s).
• Try to reduce the measurement time, so as to reduce the error due to possible GPS variations.
Mapping an Entire Lake
• Follow a plan.
• Follow the maximum gradient of the sea floor (up or down).
• Keep a steady speed. Trolling speeds to low speeds are recommended.
• Turn the boat where the bottom is flat if possible.
