Data Fields
Data fields display multiple types of information in one area,
such as depth, heading, and bearing. Some data fields require
you to be navigating or require a connection to sensors to
display data. For example, a temperature sensor must be
connected to the chartplotter to display the temperature data
field.
The data fields on a page depend on the type of data associated
with that page. For example, a sonar page automatically
displays sonar-related information such as Depth.
You can configure the data fields that display on a page. Select
MENU > Overlay Numbers.

NOTE: To receive Garmin ClearVü scanning sonar, you need a

Garmin ClearVü high-frequency sonar provides a detailed

Bottom echo
Traditional transducers emit a conical beam. The Garmin
ClearVü scanning sonar technology emits two narrow beams,
similar to the shape of the beam in a copying machine. These
beams provide a clearer, picture-like image of what is around
the boat.
Shift-Zoom View
On the sonar screen, you can see a full-view graph of sonar
readings on the right side of the screen, and a magnified portion
of that graph on the left side of the screen.
Shift allows you to set the depth range on which the sonar is
focused. This allows you to zoom in a higher resolution in the
focused depth.
When using shift, bottom tracking may not work effectively,
because the sonar looks for data within the depth range of the
focused area, which may not include the bottom. Using shift also
can impact the scroll speed, because data outside the depth
range of the focused area is not processed, which reduces the
time required to receive and display the data. You can zoom in
to the focused area, which enables you to evaluate target
returns more closely at a higher resolution than just zooming
alone.
The shift-zoom view is not available on all sonar screens.
From a sonar screen, select ZOOM > Shift Zoom.
