Sonar Fishfinder
When properly connected to a compatible transducer, your STRIKER Plus device
can be used as a fishfinder.
For more information about which transducer is best for your needs, go to
www.garmin.com/transducers.
Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area. The sonar views
available vary depending on the type of transducer and sounder module
connected to the chartplotter. For example, you can view Garmin ClearVü™ sonar
screens only if you have a compatible Garmin ClearVü transducer connected.
There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a full-screen view, a splitscreen view that combines two or more views, a split-zoom view, and a splitfrequency view that displays two different frequencies. You can customize the
settings for each view in the screen. For example, if you are viewing the splitfrequency view, you can separately adjust the gain for each frequency.
If you do not see an arrangement of sonar views to suit your needs, you can
create a custom combination screen.
Traditional Sonar View
There are several full-screen views available, depending on the transducer that is
connected.
