How Sonar Works

Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 700 Series™ Fishing System

uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as

well as depth directly below the transducer.

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines

distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave

and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected

signal to interpret location, size, and composition of an object.

Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of

240 ft (70 m) and back again in less than 1/4 of a second. It is unlikely that your

boat can “outrun“ this sonar signal.

SONAR is an acronym for SOund and

NAvigation Ranging. Sonar utilizes precision

sound pulses or “pings“ which are emitted

into the water in a teardrop-shaped beam.

The sound pulses “echo“ back from objects

in the water such as the bottom, fish, and

other submerged objects. The returned

echoes are displayed on the LCD screen.

Each time a new echo is received, the old

echoes are moved across the LCD, creating a

scrolling effect.

How Sonar Works

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an

easy to interpret “graph“ of the bottom, fish, and

structure appears.

The sound pulses are transmitted at various

frequencies depending on the application. Very

high frequencies (455 kHz) are used for greatest

definition but the operating depth is limited. High

frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on

consumer sonar and provide a good balance

between depth performance and resolution. Low

frequencies (83 kHz) are typically used to achieve

greater depth capability.

The power output is the amount of energy

generated by the sonar transmitter. It is commonly

measured using two methods:

• Root Mean Square (RMS) measures power

output over the entire transmit cycle.

• Peak to Peak measures power output at the

highest points.

The benefits of increased power output are the

ability to detect smaller targets at greater

distances, ability to overcome noise, better high

speed performance and enhanced depth capability.

Side Imaging® Sonar

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System uses

Side Imaging® sonar to provide a wide

yet precise survey of a large area of

water, including detailed bottom

topography and fish-attracting structure

orientation. The Side Imaging®

transducer returns are processed into

an image similar to an aerial

photograph. Typically, the Side

Imaging® sonar searches an area that

is 240 feet wide to each side, 480 feet

total side coverage, with a depth

limitation of 150 feet. See What’s on

the Side Imaging® Display for more

information.

DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System uses a 200/83

kHz DualBeam PLUS™ sonar system with a wide

(60°) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUS™ sonar

has a narrowly focused 20° center beam,

surrounded by a second beam of 60°, expanding

your coverage to an area equal to your depth.

In 20 feet of water, the wider beam covers an

area 20 feet wide. DualBeam PLUS™ sonar

returns can be blended together, viewed

separately, or compared side-by-side. DualBeam

PLUS™ is ideal for a wide range of conditions -

from shallow to very deep water in both fresh

and salt water. Depth capability is affected by

such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom

hardness, water conditions, and transducer

installation.

QuadraBeam PLUS™ Sonar

(with optional-purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™

transducer)

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also

supports QuadraBeam PLUS™ sonar with

the purchase of an additional QuadraBeam

PLUS™ transducer. QuadraBeam PLUS™

sonar provides an extremely wide 90° area

of coverage. QuadraBeam PLUS™ starts

with two fan-shaped 35° 455 kHz Side

Structure locating sonar beams to spot fish,

bait, and structure to the left and right of

the boat over an area of the bottom that’s

always equal to twice your depth. For a

detailed view below the boat, QuadraBeam

PLUS™ uses DualBeam PLUS™ technology,

with precision 20° and wide 60° beams.

QuadraBeam PLUS™ finds more fish faster

and can even tell you where to put your bait

by showing if fish are to the left, right, or

directly beneath your boat.

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System supports Universal Sonar 2, a state-of-the-

art, integrated and protected transducer that is built into the lower unit of

Minnkota trolling motors. With Universal Sonar 2, all wiring is concealed inside

the indestructible composite shaft—out of sight and out of harm’s way, with

no clamps, ties, or exposed wires. Universal Sonar 2 features new temperature

sensing and the performance of DualBeam PLUS™ technology (available with

all Humminbird® DualBeam PLUS™ models). An expanded view and greater

bottom detail gives you a totally new perspective of the water below, along

with optimal sonar performance to help you find fish.

How GPS and Cartography Work

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also supports GPS and chartplotting. It uses

GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide

detailed underwater information. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a

satellite navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of

Defense. GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may

also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within

+/- 4.5 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the

GPS receiver will read a location within 4.5 meters of your actual position. Your

GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation

System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and

MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are

available in your area.

GPS uses a constellation of over 24 satellites that

continually send radio signals to the earth. Your

present position is determined by receiving signals

from up to 16 satellites and measuring the

distance from the satellites.

All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal

once per second at exactly the same time. The GPS

receiver on your boat receives signals from

satellites that are visible to it. Based on time

differences between each received signal, the GPS receiver determines its

distance to each satellite. With distances known, the GPS receiver

mathematically triangulates its own position. With once per second updates,

the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing.

How GPS and Cartography Work

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The GPS Receiver included with your 700 Series™ Fishing System allows you

to combine easy-to-use FishingGPS® chartplotter and navigation capabilities

with advanced fishfinding.

The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 700 Series™

Fishing System when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:

• View current position

• View current track (breadcrumb trail)

• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver

• Save tracks, waypoints, and routes

• Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next.

Your 700 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™ and HotMaps™

Premium on MMC or SD card media. You can insert optional-purchase cards in

the (MMC)/SD slots on your control head to access additional detailed maps.

See Multi-Media Card (MMC)/SD Slot for more information.

NOTE: Your 700 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™, and HotMaps™

Premium. Your 700 Series™ does not support Navionics® Classic Charts or Platinum™

Cartography.

Your unit also comes with a built-in UniMap™ with a more detailed map of

North America (Domestic models) or a more detailed map of Europe and

Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand (International models).

Your 700 Series™ uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat

automatically, and it uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select

the best chart to display. See Chart View: Viewing Cartography for more

information.

Side Imaging® Range - Images shown

on the right side of the screen are

located on the right side of your boat,

and images shown on the left side of

the screen are located on the left side

of your boat. In this picture, the sonar is

pinging 150 feet on each side.

The water column shows the relative

depth of the water under the boat at a

given time. Variations in the width of

the water column show variations in

the distance to the bottom as the boat

passes over.

Shadows result from a lack of reflected

sonar from a particular area, and can be

more valuable for interpretation than

the sonar reflected by the object itself.

Use shadows to help you see the image

in 3 dimensions, oriented in space. You

can gain insight into the actual shape of

an object, or the depth to which it has

sunk into the bottom, through shadows

on the display. Objects standing on the

bottom cast a sonar shadow. The longer

the shadow, the taller the object. Fish

also cast shadows. You can use the

shadow to interpret how close the fish is

to the bottom.

Understanding the Side Imaging® Display

It is important to understand how Side Imaging® technology produces the

display. The images you see on the display are produced using sonar

technology. The special transducer projects three distinct beams – one beam

facing down and two beams pointing out to the side. The “down beam” is

aimed directly below the boat and provides conical coverage. The “side beams”

are aimed at right angles to the path of the boat. The side beam coverage is

very thin from front to back, yet very wide top to bottom.

Side Beams extend to

the right and left of

the transducer. The

side beams are very

thin front to back,

yet very wide top

to bottom.

Down Beam - a cone

shaped beam that

pings directly below

the boat

NOTE: Drawing shown for illustration purposes only and may not meet technical specifications.

The narrow aspect (front to back) of the beam illuminates a small strip of the

bottom perpendicular to the direction of the boat. Each time the unit “pings,”

a strip of data representing all the echoes received by the transducer are put

together on the display to form the image that you see.

_{Download from Www.Somanuals.co}1_m0_{. All Manuals Search And Download.}

The rows closest to the boat icon at the top of the view are the most recent

sonar data. The information is scrolled down the screen as new data, drawn at

the top of the screen, becomes available.

For Best Side Imaging® Performance

• Boat speed: 2 to 6 mph

• Straight line navigation

• Minimum turning time and wave turbulence

See Side Imaging Tips for more information.

The side beams operate at a frequency of 455 kHz. It is important to understand

that when the boat turns, the strips to one side will begin to overlap and the

strips on the other side will fan out, providing some distortion to the image.

Side beams look out 240 feet to each side, with a total side coverage of 480 feet,

with a depth limitation of 150 feet, depending on the contour of the bottom.

Your Side Imaging® transducer also provides traditional sonar imaging at

200/83 kHz. Total coverage under the boat is 180°.

455 kHz provides maximum coverage with 180° total beam width

tutorial and additional information.

Side Imaging® Technology: How It Works

Side Imaging® sonar uses two very precise sonar beams that are directed to

either side of the boat and “illuminate” the bottom contour, structure, and fish,

and display results in a “picture-like” image.

• Side beams are extremely narrow from front to back, and provide “thin

slices” of the bottom for high resolution imaging.

• Side beams look out to a range of 240 feet to each side, with a total side

coverage of 480 feet, with a depth limitation of 150 feet.

The main benefit of Side Imaging® sonar to anglers is that it provides an overall

survey of a large area of water. This gives you a better understanding of the

bottom topography and how structure is oriented for more efficient fishing.

Saltwater anglers pick up precise details of popular fishing structure like

wrecks, reefs, humps and drop-offs, as well as being able to spot bait balls in

Side Imaging®: For Best Performance

Use the following Side Imaging® tips and examples to help you interpret the

Side Imaging® display.

For Best Side Imaging® Performance

• Boat speed: 2 to 6 mph

• Straight line navigation

• Minimum turning time and wave turbulence

Imaging Tips

Boat speed: Side Imaging® is best performed at boat speeds between 2 to 6

mph. If the boat is stationary, the same information is displayed over and over.

If the boat is moving very quickly, there will be gaps between the strips of

information. The best boat speed to use will depend on the side range selected.

Slower speeds are good for longer ranges, while faster speeds can be used at

shorter ranges.

Boat navigation: It is important to understand that when the boat turns,

successive beam strips to one side will begin to overlap and the strips on the

other side will fan out, providing some distortion to the image. Because of this,

the best imaging performance is produced by straight line navigation and

minimal side-to-side boat motion (i.e. wave induced, etc.) This applies to

navigation by either the main engine or the trolling motor. Minimize turning

time and avoid wave action that induces large side-to-side rocking of the boat.

For example, if there is a lot of wave activity, try to move the boat so that it is

perpendicular to the waves instead of parallel with the waves in order to

minimize the side-to-side rocking of the boat.

Beam Coverage: When there is an area directly under the boat that does not

have SI beam coverage, this area will be covered by the standard 200/83 kHz

down-looking beam and displayed in the Sonar views. The net effect of this, on

the display, is that a single object may appear as two separate entities, when

in reality, it is one continuous object. See Submerged Bridge: A Closer

Perspective and the Submerged Bridge: Alternative Perspective illustrations

for examples of this.

Fish - the Fishing System displays fish 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+™ symbol appears on the display with

the depth displayed above it. The size of the

Understanding the Sonar Display

It is important to understand the significance of

the display. The display does not show a literal 3-

dimensional representation of what is under the

water. Each vertical band of data received by the

control head and plotted on the display represents

something that was detected by a sonar return at

a particular time. As both the boat and the targets

(fish) may be moving, the returns are only showing

a particular segment of time when objects were

detected, not exactly where those objects are in

relation to other objects shown on the display.

The returned sonar echoes are displayed

on the screen. As a new echo is received,

the historical data scrolls across the screen.

Real Time Sonar (RTS™) Window

A Real Time Sonar (RTS™) Window appears on the right side of the display in

the Sonar View only. The RTS Window™ updates at the fastest rate possible for

depth conditions and shows only the returns from the bottom, structure, and

fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS Window™ plots the depth

and intensity of a sonar return (see Sonar Menu Tab: RTS Window™).

The Narrow RTS Window™

indicates the sonar intensity

through the use of colors. Red

indicates a strong return and

blue indicates a weak return.

The depth of the sonar return

is indicated by the vertical

placement of the return on the

display depth scale.

The Wide RTS Window™

indicates the sonar intensity

through the use of a bar

graph. The length of the

plotted return indicates

whether the return is weak or

strong. The depth of the sonar

return is indicated by the

vertical placement of the

return on the display depth

scale. The Wide RTS

Window™ does not use

grayscale.

Freeze Frame and Active Cursor

Freeze Frame & Active Cursor - Press any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key,

and the screen will freeze and a cursor will be displayed. Use the 4-WAY Cursor

Control key to move the cursor over a sonar return, and the depth of the sonar

return will be displayed at the bottom of the screen in the cursor information box.

Instant Image Update - You can change a variety of sonar menu settings (such

as Sensitivity or Upper Range), and the adjustments will be shown instantly on

the screen. When combined with the Freeze frame feature, you can adjust and

see the effects of many different sonar settings quickly and easily.

The RTS Window™ continues to update in Freeze Frame. Pressing EXIT will exit

Freeze Frame, and the display will start to scroll. Freeze Frame is available in the

Sonar, Sonar Zoom, and 200/83 kHz Split Sonar Views.

Bottom Presentation

As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create

a profile of the Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from

the return charted on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment

or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display. A Soft Bottom such as

mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display. Rocky Bottoms have

a broken, random appearance.

View Orientation

Both Chart and Combo Views allow you to choose the orientation of the view.

When North-Up orientation is selected, True North is shown at the top of the

display. In other words, objects located to the north of the boat are drawn above

the boat. When Course-Up orientation is selected, the direction of motion of the

boat is shown at the top of the display. In other words, objects ahead of the boat

are drawn above the boat. In both orientations, the view pans automatically, so

that the boat is always centered on the display.

When the boat is stationary, it is drawn as a circle. When the boat is in motion,

it takes on a boat shape, pointed in the direction of motion (always Up in the

Course-Up orientation).

Viewing Cartography

In the Chart or Combo Views there are several cartography-related functions

that you can access using various keys.

Panning: Use the 4-WAY Cursor

Control key to move the chart around

on the display in the direction of the

key being pressed. When you do this,

a bull's eye cursor is drawn at the

center of the screen and is linked to

the boat by a gray line, even if the

boat is off the screen. At the same

time, the temperature and speed

boxes in the lower left corner are

replaced with the distance and

bearing from the boat to the cursor

position and the latitude/longitude

coordinates of the cursor.

Introduction to Navigation

Use your 700 Series™ Fishing System to mark waypoints at areas of interest

and to navigate to those waypoints via a savable route. A route represents the

shortest intended distance between waypoints. You can also view and save

tracks, which represent the actual path of the boat.

Introduction to Navigation

Introduction to Navigation

_{Download from Www.Somanuals.co}5_m9_{. All Manuals Search And Download.}

Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation and

are used in trip planning. You can link individual waypoints together by using the

GOTO key. A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest

path from each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route

line is the most efficient way to get to your destination, although you should

always look out for obstacles not shown on the chart. Your 700 Series™ Fishing

System can store up to 50 routes that can each contain up to 50 waypoints.

Tracks consist of detailed position history and are displayed as a breadcrumb

trail of trackpoints. The Current Track shows the position history since the unit

was powered up (maximum of 20,000 trackpoints displayed). You can clear the

Current Track or save it at any time. Your 700 Series™ Fishing System can store

up to 50 saved tracks, each containing 20,000 trackpoints. The current track

represents your actual path so far.

Save, Edit, or Delete a Waypoint

Save your current position as a waypoint: On any view, press the MARK key to

save the current position of the boat as a waypoint.

Man Overboard (MOB) Navigation

As soon as you know that you have a man overboard (MOB), you should

activate MOB navigation to maximize the chances for a successful rescue. MOB

navigation allows you to create an MOB waypoint to locate the point at which

your man went overboard and the relation of the boat to that point.

seconds to activate the Man Overboard (MOB) function.

When MOB is activated, a MOB waypoint is created at the boat's current

position, regardless of whether the chart cursor is active or not. The MOB

waypoint has a large, distinctive icon. Once MOB is activated, any current

navigation will be cancelled and the current route will be discarded without

user notification. MOB navigation will begin immediately, and the MOB View

will show the following:

• The view will switch to the Chart View, and the elapsed time since MOB

was activated will be displayed.

Chart Speed

Chart Speed determines the speed at which the

Side Imaging® information moves down the display, and consequently the amount

of detail shown. A faster speed shows more information in the Side Imaging®

Views and is preferred by most anglers; however, the sonar information moves

across the display quickly. A slower speed keeps the information on the display

longer, allowing you to see an entire area. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal

preference.

To adjust the Chart Speed:

Sensitivity

Sensitivity controls how much detail is shown on

the display and will adjust the sensitivity of all sonar frequencies. Increasing

the sensitivity shows more sonar returns from small baitfish and suspended

debris in the water; however, the display may become too cluttered.

When operating in very clear water or greater depths, increased sensitivity

shows weaker returns that may be of interest. Decreasing the sensitivity

eliminates the clutter from the display that is sometimes present in murky or

muddy water. If Sensitivity is adjusted too low, the display may not show many

sonar returns that could be fish.

NOTE: The Sensitivity setting is a global setting and will adjust the sensitivity of all

sonar frequencies, as compared to specific sensitivity adjustments (such as 83 kHz

Sensitivity or 455 kHz Sensitivity) which allow you to adjust the level of sensitivity

for one specific beam at a time.

Sensitivity at Low

Sensitivity at Medium

Sensitivity at High

To adjust the Sensitivity:

1. Highlight Sensitivity on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu.

Upper Range

(Advanced: Sonar, Split Sonar, Big Digits, and

Circular Flasher Views only)

Upper Range sets the shallowest depth range that will be displayed on the

Sonar, Split Sonar, Big Digits, and Circular Flasher Views. The Upper Range

menu option is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Main Menu:

User Mode) and can only be accessed from the Sonar, Split Sonar, Big Digits

and Circular Flasher Views. Upper Range is often used with Lower Range.

For example, if you are only interested in the area between 20 and 50 feet deep,

you should set the Upper Depth Range to 20 and the Lower Depth Range to 50.

The Sonar View will then show the 30 foot area between 20 and 50 and will not

show the surface or the bottom (assuming the bottom is deeper than 50 feet).

Greater detail will be shown for the area between 20 and 50 feet.

NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and

Lower Range regardless of the manual settings entered.

To adjust the Upper Range:

1. Make sure the User Mode is set to Advanced, then highlight Upper

Range on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu.

NOTE: See Main Menu: User Mode to change the User Mode to Advanced.

2. Press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to increase or decrease the Upper

Range setting. (0 to 1490 feet or 0 to 497 meters [International Models

Lower Range

Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that

will be displayed by the unit. Auto is the default setting.

Auto: The Lower Range will be adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom

automatically. Auto is the default setting.

Manual: You can adjust the Lower Range to lock the unit on a particular depth.

“M” will be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen to indicate the unit

is in Manual mode. Adjust the Upper and Lower Range together to view a

specific depth range, especially when looking for fish or bottom structure.

For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested in

the first 30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet), you should set the Lower

Depth Range limit to 30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range, which

allows you to see a more detailed view than you would see if the display

went all the way to the bottom.

NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and

Lower Range regardless of the manual settings entered.

To adjust the Lower Range:

1. Highlight Lower Range on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu.

2. Press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to increase or decrease the Lower

Range setting. (AUTO, 10 to 1500 feet, 3 to 500 meters [International

Models only], Default = AUTO)

Chart Speed

Chart Speed determines the speed at which the

sonar information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of

detail shown.

A faster speed shows more information and is preferred by most anglers;

however, the sonar information moves across the display quickly. A slower speed

keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and fish details

become compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Regardless of the Chart

Speed setting, the RTS Window™ will update at the maximum rate possible for

the depth conditions. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal preference.

To adjust the Chart Speed:

1. Highlight Chart Speed on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu.

2. Press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to increase or decrease the Chart

Speed setting. (1-10, where 1 = Slow, 10 = Fast, Default = 5)

right 455 kHz beams, as well as the 200 kHz down-looking beam. The sonar

data can be displayed in any of the following layouts by changing the Quad

Layout setting: Default, Classic, and Slanted. See Views: Side Beam View for

more information.

NOTE: Quad Layout is only available when an optional-purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™

transducer is attached and the Side Beam View is active (see Sonar Menu Tab:

see low-lying bottom structure or details of the bottom return. Choose a larger

value to see large structure in deeper water.

NOTE: It is possible to set the Bottom Range to be greater than the depth. In this case,

you may see surface clutter in a wavy band that mirrors changes in the depth.

To adjust the Bottom Range:

1. In the Sonar Zoom View, highlight Bottom Lock on the Sonar X-Press™

Menu.

2. Press the RIGHT Cursor key to change the Bottom Lock setting to On.

Beam Select

Beam Select sets which sonar returns from the

transducer will be displayed on the screen.

When set to 200/83 kHz, the returns from both beams are blended by starting

with the 83 kHz wide beam return, dimming it, and then overlaying it with the

200 kHz narrow beam return. The darker 200 kHz narrow beam sonar returns

will stand out from the paler 83 kHz wide beam sonar returns. The Split Sonar

View continues to display the sonar returns from each beam in their respective

windows. The blended information is shown in the Sonar View, Sonar Zoom

View, and the Big Digits View. The RTS Window™ in the Sonar View and the

Circular Flasher View will only show the returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam.

When set to 200 kHz, only the returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam will be

Fish ID+™

Fish ID+™ uses advanced signal processing to

interpret sonar returns and will display a Fish Symbol when very selective

requirements are met. When a fish is detected, a fish icon and its depth are

displayed above the return that has been classified as being a fish. Three different

fish size icons represent the intensity of the sonar return and provide an indicator

of relative fish size.

DualBeam PLUS™ sonar models represent targets detected in the 200 kHz

narrow beam as Orange Fish Symbols and targets detected in the 83 kHz wide

beam as Blue Fish Symbols.

83 kHz, Wide Beam

Blue Fish Symbols

200 kHz, Narrow Beam

Orange Fish Symbols

When Fish ID+™ is turned off, the Fishing System shows only the raw sonar

returns on the display. These returns will often result in “arches“ forming on the

display, indicating potential targets. Due to the transducer beam angle, the

distance to a fish decreases as the fish moves into the beam, and then

increases as it moves out again, creating a Fish Arch when this distance change

is shown on the display. Boat speed, chart speed, and the position of the fish

within the sonar beam greatly affect the shape of the arch.

Transducer Cone and Fish Arches

To turn Fish ID+™ on or off:

Fish ID Sensitivity

Fish ID Sensitivity adjusts the threshold of the

Fish ID+™ detection algorithms. Selecting a higher setting allows weaker returns to

be displayed as fish. This is useful for identifying smaller fish species or baitfish.

Selecting a lower setting displays fewer fish from weak sonar returns. This is helpful

when seeking larger species of fish.

Fish ID Sensitivity is used in conjunction with Fish ID+™. Fish ID+™ must be On for

Fish ID Sensitivity to affect the ability of the Fishing System to identify sonar returns

as fish.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center, please read the

following section. Taking the time to review these troubleshooting guidelines

may allow you to solve a performance problem yourself, and therefore avoid

sending your unit back for repair.

Fishing System Doesn’t Power Up

If your Fishing System doesn’t power up, use the Installation Guide that also

comes with it for specific confirmation details, making sure that:

• The power cable is properly connected to the Fishing System control

head.

• The power cable is wired correctly, with red to positive battery terminal

and black to negative terminal or ground.

• The fuse is operational.

• The battery voltage of the power connector is at least 10 Volts.

Correct any known problems, including removing corrosion from the battery

terminals or wiring, or actually replacing the battery if necessary.

Fishing System Defaults to Simulator with a Transducer Attached

A connected and functioning transducer will cause the newly-started Fishing

System to go into Normal operating mode automatically. If, when you power up

the Fishing System, it goes into Simulator mode automatically, even though a

transducer is already connected, this means that the control head is not

detecting the transducer. Perform the following troubleshooting tasks:

• Using the Installation Guide that also comes with your Fishing System,

check to make sure that the transducer cable is securely connected to

the Fishing System. Reconnect if necessary, and power up the Fishing

System again to see if this fixes the problem.

• Replace the non-functioning transducer with a known good transducer

if available and power up the control head again.

• Check the transducer cable. Replace the transducer if the cable is

damaged or corroded.

Display Problems

There are several main conditions or sources of possible interference that may

cause problems with the quality of the information displayed on the control

head. Look in the following table for some symptoms of display problems and

possible solutions:

Problem

Possible Cause

The control head loses

power at high speeds.

If the power output of your boat’s engine is unregulated,

the control head may be protecting itself using its

over-voltage protection feature. Make sure the input

voltage does not exceed 20 Volts.

When the boat moves

at higher speeds, the

bottom disappears or

suddenly weakens, or

the display contains

gaps.

The transducer position may need to be adjusted. A mix of

air and water flowing around the transducer (cavitation)

may be interfering with the interpretation of sonar data.

See your Installation Guide for suggestions on adjusting the

transducer position.

Electrical noise from the boat’s engine may be interfering

with sonar reception. See Finding the Cause of Noise for

more information.

There are no fish

Sonar readings may be affected if the transducer is not

positioned correctly (i.e. mounted at an angle, not straight

down), or there is some kind of mechanical interference,

either because it is mounted inside a hull that is too thick

for proper sonar transmission, the bond between the

transducer and the hull is not airtight, or because the

transducer is dirty. Check with your Installation Guide for

guidance on re-positioning the transducer, and make sure

the transducer is clean.

Finding the Cause of Noise

Electrical noise usually affects the display with many black dots at high speeds,

and high sensitivity readings. One or more of the following sources can cause

noise or interference:

Possible Source of Noise

Other electronic devices

Isolation

Turn off any nearby electronic devices to see

if the problem goes away, then turn them on

one at a time to see if the noise re-appears.

To determine whether the boat’s engine is the

source of the noise, increase the RPMs while

the boat is in neutral and stationary to see if

the noise increases proportionately; if noise

appears when you rev the engine, the

problem could be the spark plugs, alternator,

or tachometer wiring. Replace the spark plugs

with resistor plugs, install an alternator filter,

or route the control head power and

transducer cables away from the engine

wiring.

Turbulence created by the propeller can cause

noise; make sure the transducer is mounted

at least 15” (38 cm) from the propeller, and that

the water flows smoothly over the face of the

transducer at all times.

Glossary

Sonar Terms:

Alarm, Depth: Depth Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert that sounds

when depth is less than or equal to the setting.

Alarm, Temperature: Temperature Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert

that sounds when the water surface temperature equals the setting.

Backlight: Backlight is a user-controllable illumination for the LCD for night and

low light use.

Beam (Sonar Beam): A sonar beam is the wide, cone-shaped projection of

sound waves formed as sound travels underwater. See Cone Angle.

Big Digits View: Big Digits View is a Humminbird® feature that displays the sonar

graph and enlarged digital readouts for easy reading from a distance. This is a

great tool when monitoring the digital depth is important - such as with higher

boat speeds, or when viewing the unit from a distance. When speed input is

available, the Big Digits View also shows the TripLog. See TripLog.

Bottom Black: Bottom Black is a Humminbird® feature that “fills in“ the area of

the display below the bottom contour. Bottom Black is preferred by some

anglers because of its high contrast and easy readability, even though it can

obscure bottom hardness information.

Bottom Contour: Bottom Contour is the profile of the bottom graphed to the

display as the depth changes.

Bottom Hardness: Bottom Hardness is the density (or composition) of the

bottom, which can often be determined by interpreting the main sonar return.

Varying levels of hardness can be determined by interpreting the “thickness“ of

the sonar return. Hard returns appear thin and black, softer returns appear

thicker and less black. It is important to note that a sonar return from a sloping

bottom can have the appearance of a softer bottom.

Cavitation: Cavitation is the effect of air bubbles created as the propeller

rotates and the boat moves through the water.

Glossary

Chart Speed: Chart Speed is a user-controllable feature that sets the speed at

which sonar information moves across the display. A faster setting displays

sonar information from more pings and shows more detail, but the information

moves quickly across the display: a slower setting permits viewing of more

sonar history, but does not display as much detail. The best setting is often the

user’s personal choice.

Cone Angle: The cone angle is the angular measurement of the sonar beam at

a specific dB down point (i.e. -10 dB). See dB Down Point.

Customizable Digital Readouts: Customizable Digital Readouts is a

Humminbird® feature that permits the user to select the specific digital

information that appears in the main Sonar view (i.e. Speed, Temperature,

Barometric Pressure, TripLog, etc.)

Dead Zone: The dead zone is the area of the sonar beam that receives the sonar

signal after the main bottom return. Fish and other objects close to the bottom

that fall within the dead zone will probably not be visible in the sonar beam.

Precision sonar beams, such as the Humminbird® 20° beam, have a smaller

dead zone than wider sonar beams.

Decibel: A Decibel is the measurement for sound pressure level, or

“intensity”of the sonar return. See dB Down Point.

dB Down Point: The dB Down Point is the standard decibel level at which the

sonar cone angle is measured, and is written as “@ -10 dB” or “@ -3 dB“.

Measurements at smaller down points (bigger negative numbers) indicate that

the less intensive sonar signals are being used for the measurement.

Display, FSTN: FSTN is an acronym for Film Super-Twist Nematic. FSTN is a

monochrome display technology characterized by black, high-contrast pixels.

All monochrome fixed mount Humminbird® products use FSTN technology.

DualBeam PLUS™: DualBeam PLUS™ is a Humminbird® sonar configuration

that uses two sonar beams simultaneously, and combines the information from

both beams into one view by overlapping the data on-screen, or shows each

beam individually side by side, or permits each beam to be viewed individually

full screen.

Glossary

Feature Memory: Feature Memory is a Humminbird® feature that retains the

user’s menu settings in permanent memory. Settings are retained even when the

unit is powered off indefinitely.

Fish Arch: A Fish Arch is the apparent “arch“ that appears on the display when

any object moves through the sonar cone. The arch results from a gradual

decrease in distance to an object as it moves into the sonar cone. The distance to

an object changes due to the conical shape of the sonar beam, which causes the

distance to be greater at the edges of the beam than at the center of the beam.

When this distance change is graphed on the display, an arch appears.

Fish ID+™: Fish ID+™ is a Humminbird® feature that uses advanced sonar

processing algorithms to determine if a detected object is likely to be a fish. When

the sonar signal from an object meets strict parameters, the unit draws a Fish

Symbol (or icon) and the digital depth of the target. On DualBeam and DualBeam

PLUS™ units, fish detected in the narrow center beam are shown as shaded

symbols, and fish detected in the wider beam are shown as hollow symbols.

Fish Symbol: A Fish Symbol is the graphic that is displayed on the screen when

Fish ID+™ determines that a sonar return is likely to be a fish. See Fish ID+™.

Freeze Frame: Freeze Frame is a Humminbird® feature that pauses the sonar

scrolling so that the image on screen can be studied with greater detail. See

Instant Image Update.

Frequency: Frequency is a measure of the number of sound wave cycles per

second of a sound impulse transmitted underwater. A typical frequency for

fishfinders is 200 kHz, which offers a good balance of performance under many

conditions. Lower frequencies, such as 50 kHz, are capable of penetrating to

greater depths, but with less resolution. Higher frequencies, such as 455 kHz, offer

greater resolution, but are limited in depth performance. Humminbird® uses a

variety of frequencies that are optimized for specific applications.

Grayscale: Grayscale is the use of varying shades of gray to represent the

strength of the sonar signal on the display , and is a very intuitive method of

presenting information. Traditionally, the strongest sonar signals are

represented in black, and progressively weaker signals are represented in

progressively lighter shades of gray.

Glossary

182

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Grayscale, Inverse: Inverse Grayscale is a Humminbird® feature that reverses the

correlation of sonar signal strength and the shade of gray typically used to

represent it. The strongest sonar signals are represented by “white“, and

progressively weaker signals are represented in progressively darker shades of

gray. While somewhat counter-intuitive, this method makes the sonar images

crisper, and has the benefit of enhancing the apparent sensitivity because the

weaker signals appear bolder. Inverse grayscale works well in very clear water.

Debris-laden water often appears as a lot of clutter on the screen.

Instant Image Update: Instant Image Update is a Humminbird® feature that

updates all the sonar information on the display when Sensitivity and a variety of

sonar settings (Bottom View, Range, etc.) are modified. This differs from the

traditional functionality that only updates the new sonar information collected

after the setting change. Instant Image Update permits more accurate fine-tuning

of the display because the user can see the results on the complete sonar graph.

When combined with the Freeze Frame feature, the user can adjust and

understand the effects of many different sonar settings quickly and easily.

Maximum Depth Menu: The Maximum Depth Menu is a Humminbird® feature

that optimizes performance based on the maximum operational depth set by the

user. Many Humminbird® units can operate across a very broad depth range (up

to 2500 feet) which causes the unit to “look“ up to that full depth under some

circumstances. Due to the speed of sound in water, this can result in less

responsiveness because the unit has to wait for a longer period of time to receive

the sonar signal. When the Maximum Depth menu is set to a lower value, the unit

only looks up to the setting, which increases the responsiveness of the unit. This

is an important feature for anyone operating in shallower depths!

Noise: Noise is unintentional, external sound waves that interfere with the optimal

operation of sonar. Noise appears as random “dots“ on the display, and is caused

by a variety of sources. Electrical noise (from trolling motors, bilge pumps, VHF

radios) typically manifests as a consistent dot pattern. Electrical noise can be

isolated by selectively turning on and off other electrical devices to determine the

source. Often re-routing the power cable, or connecting to an alternative power

supply (second battery) can help overcome electrical noise. Hydrodynamic noise

(from propeller and/or hull cavitation) has a more random appearance and is

generally related to boat speed, so that faster operation results in more noise.

Glossary

183

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Hydrodynamic noise can be overcome by proper transducer installation. Many

Humminbird® products have a Noise Filter menu setting that allows the user to

clear the screen of noise that is difficult to eliminate.

Pixels: Pixels are the “picture elements“, or small square blocks, that make

up the image on the LCD. Measured as a vertical by horizontal number

(i.e. 640V x 320H), this key specification typically indicates the quality of

resolution. In fishfinders, the total resolution (vertical multiplied by horizontal)

is often less important than the “Vertical Pixel“ resolution. See Pixels, Vertical.

Pixels, Vertical: Vertical Pixels are a number of vertical picture elements in a

single column on an LCD display. A greater number of vertical pixels provide finer

resolution of targets detected by sonar. Essentially, a vertical distance (the depth),

when divided by a larger number, breaks that distance into smaller samples, each

representing a smaller area and thus providing more detail. In fishfinders, vertical

pixels are more critical than horizontal pixels because the horizontal axis of the

display represents time, or history. Sonar information on the horizontal axis can

vary greatly, depending on boat speed and the Chart Speed setting. A greater

number of horizontal pixels show more sonar history that the boat has passed

through. On many models, Humminbird® provides the most vertical pixels to

provide a better display resolution. See Chart Speed and Pixels.

Power Output: Power output is the amount of sound energy emitted into the

water by the sonar transmitter. Power output is measured using either RMS (Root

Mean Square) or P-T-P (Peak-to-Peak) measurement systems. Either method is

acceptable, but it is important, when comparing power outputs, to make sure that

the same measurement system is being used for both outputs, because P-T-P

numbers are 8 times higher than RMS numbers. Greater power output allows the

sonar signal to penetrate through weeds and thermoclines, reach deeper depths

and operate more effectively in noisy environments, such as when the boat is

running at high speed.

Pulse Width (Pulse Length): Pulse Width is the length of time that a sonar sound

burst is transmitted into the water. Shorter pulse widths provide better target

separation, but cannot travel to great depths. Longer pulse widths provide better

depth penetration, but result in poorer target separation. Humminbird® varies

pulse width based on depth to optimize both target separation and depth

performance. See Target Separation.

QuadraBeam PLUS™: QuadraBeam PLUS™ is a Humminbird® sonar

configuration that uses four sonar beams for a more detailed bottom image.

QuadraBeam PLUS™ uses the DualBeam PLUS™ configuration for downlooking,

and also adds two additional beams to look to the left and right. The sonar beams

pointing to the left and right provide the ability to spot fish and structure over a

wide 90° area, and to identify on which side of the boat they are located. See

DualBeam PLUS™.

Quick Disconnect Mount: The Quick Disconnect Mounting system is an

exclusive Humminbird® feature that permits the unit to be easily removed from

the mounting base by pressing a release button, and re-installed by simply

snapping it back into place. All cable connections are made when installing, so

that no separate wiring connections are required. Additionally, the mount offers

90° tilt and 360° swivel capability to adjust the viewing angle of the unit as you

move about the boat.

Real Time Sonar: Real Time Sonar is a Humminbird® technology that delivers

ultra-fast sonar transmitter/receiver operation and results in a more detailed

instantaneous view of what is under the boat. The Real Time Sonar window

is a vertical band at the right side of the display that shows the instantaneous

sonar return from the transducer at a particular instant. The RTS Window™

menu option permits the user to adjust the window to show the full sonar

signal return, or just a narrower band that indicates intensity using grayscale.

Real Time Sonar relies on very fast Sonar Update Rate (Ping Speed). See

Sonar Update Rate.

Receiver: See Transmitter.

Second Return: The Second Return is a term that describes the appearance of

a second sonar return below the primary sonar return (bottom contour) at

exactly twice the true depth. The second return is caused by the same sonar

energy bouncing off the bottom once, rebounding to the water surface and

then traveling back down to the bottom to be reflected again. Second returns

are more common in shallow water and over hard bottoms; it is actually

possible to see a third sonar return under some circumstances. The second

return provides useful information to help determine bottom hardness, as areas

with harder bottoms will generally create a second return. The second return

can be used as a guide to set Sensitivity when in shallower water.

Glossary

185

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Sensitivity: Sensitivity is a user feature that adjusts the sensitivity of the sonar

system to show more or less detail in the water. Higher sensitivities are often

preferred, however, when the water contains debris (silt, storm debris, etc.) and it

can be difficult to pick out targets. Conversely, if sensitivity is set too low, relevant

targets may be missed.

SONAR: SONAR is the acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging. Sonar

technology uses precision sound bursts transmitted underwater to determine the

distance and other attributes of objects in the water. Distance can be determined

because the speed of sound in water is constant, and the time for the signal to

return is measured. Sound also travels very quickly underwater, making sonar a

responsive, cost-effective tool. Sonar is the basic technology behind all

recreational and commercial fishfinding and depthfinding devices.

Sonar Echo Enhancement: Sonar Echo Enhancement is a Humminbird® feature that

describes the high degree of sonar sensitivity achieved through a combination of

transmitter/receiver and software algorithms. The result of Sonar Echo Enhancement

is to display virtually everything in the water that is of interest to the angler, including

bait fish, game fish, thermoclines, weed beds, subtle structure, and more.

Sonar Update Rate: Sonar Update Rate is the number of times per second that

the transmitter/receiver sends and receives sonar signals. A very fast sonar update

rate collects more information and provides a more detailed image of the bottom,

fish and structure. Many Humminbird® units operate at up to 40 times per second

when in single frequency operation. Due to the limitation of the speed of sound in

water, the update rate begins to slow as depth increases to deeper than 50 feet.

In very shallow water (less than 10 feet), however, update rates as much as 60

times per second can be achieved.

Speed: Speed is the rate at which the boat moves through the water. Boat speed

can be measured as Speed Over Ground or Speed Through Water. Speed Over

Ground is provided by GPS, and is the measurement of the boats progress across

a given distance. Speed Through Water is provided by a speed paddlewheel, and

is the measurement of the flow past the boat, which may vary depending on

current speed and direction. Speed Through Water is most critical for anglers

using downriggers, as it impacts the running depth of the down riggers. Speed

Over Ground is optimal for navigation, as accurate destination times can be

derived from this measurement. Humminbird® products allow for input and

display of both sources.

Structure: Structure is a general term for objects on the bottom that present a

discontinuity and are a likely attractor for fish. This includes bottom contour

features (drop-offs, humps, and holes), standing structure (stumps, timbers, brush

piles) and a wide range of other potential objects (sunken boats, reefs).

Humminbird® units excel at showing structure with great detail over a wider area

due to unique sonar configurations developed for the angler.

Structure ID®: Structure ID® is a Humminbird® feature that describes the

traditional grayscale method of presenting sonar information. See Grayscale.

Surface Clutter: Surface Clutter is a phenomenon where sonar returns are

reflected off of tiny objects near the surface of the water, including algae and even

air bubbles. Typically, saltwater environments have significantly greater surface

clutter than freshwater due to continuous wind and wave action that causes

aeration at the surface. The Surface Clutter menu provides manual control to bias

the default settings under extreme conditions.

Target Separation: Target Separation is the measurement of minimum distance that

a fishfinder needs to be able to recognize two very close objects as two distinct

targets (i.e. two fish hanging very close, or a fish hanging very close to structure).

Humminbird® fishfinders provide a very good 2 1/2 inches of target separation in

shallower than 100 feet of depth. Target separation decreases as depth increases

due to the need for longer Pulse Width to achieve greater depth. See Pulse Width.

Thermoclines: Thermoclines are water layer(s) of distinctly different temperatures

that create a sonar reflection due to the density of the differing water

temperatures. Typically a thermocline will appear as a continuous band across the

display at some distance above the bottom contour. Thermoclines are of interest

to anglers because fish will suspend above or below the thermocline as they seek

the optimum temperature and oxygen levels.

Time Variable Gain: Time Variable Gain is a processing step applied to the sonar

return to “normalize“ the data so that objects of equal size (i.e. fish) appear to be

the same size, even if they are separated by a good distance. Time Variable Gain

is a fundamental attribute of good sonar, but is often promoted as a feature.

Total Screen Update®: A Humminbird® feature that refreshes and updates all the

sonar information on the display when a range change occurs. Without Total

Screen Update®, only the most recent sonar information would be drawn to the

new range, and the old sonar information would continue to scroll off the screen

at the old range.

Transducer: The transducer is part of the sonar system, which mounts on the

boat and is in contact with the water, that converts the electrical energy from

the transmitter into sound energy, and that forms the sonar beam in turn.

Internally, the transducer consists of one or more piezo electric disks that

expand by very minute amounts to create the sound wave. This element also

works in reverse, converting the returned sound energy back into an electrical

signal that the receiver interprets. Transducers are available for many specific

mounting applications for the boat, such as a transom mount, trolling motor

mount, etc. Humminbird® offers many sophisticated transducers, often with

multiple piezo electric elements designed to form specifically-shaped sonar

beams, providing the angler with superior tools for finding and catching fish.

See Transmitter and SONAR.

Transmitter: The transmitter and receiver are matched parts of the sonar system

that send (transmit) and listen to (receive) the sonar signals, and work in

conjunction with the transducer. Humminbird® transmitters have an extremely fast

cycling design that can send signals up to 60 times per second, as well as produce

the varying levels of power output needed for different depths and conditions.

Additionally, the transmitter has the capability to create very precise sonar pulses

needed for a high degree of target separation. Humminbird® receivers are

extremely sensitive, but within a narrow “bandwidth“ to discriminate against

noise from external sources. Additionally, the receiver offers a wide “dynamic

range“ which provides the ability to receive very strong signals alternating with

very weak signals, without the strong signal overwhelming the weak signal.

See Transducer and Noise.

TripLog: TripLog is a Humminbird® feature that provides an on-screen counter for

Elapsed Time, Average Speed and Total Distance traveled, and requires a speed

input to activate the feature. TripLog appears on the Big Digits View, and can be

reset to zero through the TripLog menu.

TrueArch®: TrueArch® is a Humminbird® feature that provides true fish arches, not

artificial arches or symbols. Humminbird® units are capable of producing fish

arches due to the wide 60° sonar beam of DualBeam PLUS™, an extremely

sensitive sonar receiver. See Fish Arch.

Viewing Angle: Viewing Angle is an attribute of an LCD that characterizes visibility

of the display when viewing from off the central access, such as when standing

to the side of the fishfinder. Wider viewing angles are better because the

information remains visible even when viewing from the side.

WhiteLine™: WhiteLine™ is a Humminbird® feature that highlights the

strongest sonar return on the display using a very light gray band. This is

preferred by some anglers who have grown accustomed to the feature on

paper graph chart recorders.

WideSide®: WideSide® is a Humminbird® sonar configuration used in an optional

transducer. WideSide® uses three sonar beams pointing to the left, right and

down. Beams pointing to the left and right are effective for spotting fish and

structure near the surface or on the bank. The downlooking beam provides depth

information directly below the boat.

X-Press™ Menu: X-Press™ Menus are a Humminbird® feature that make the

most commonly-used menu selections available with one press of the MENU key.

Items that appear on the X-Press™ Menu are related to the current view, and

present the most logical options for that view. Sonar View X-Press™ menus will

differ from Chart View X-Press™ menus, etc. X-Press™ menus are one of the

principal reasons that Humminbird® products are easier to use.

Zoom: Zoom is a feature that focuses in on a smaller area of the bottom to provide

enhanced resolution. With enhanced resolution, the angler can more easily see

fish hanging in structure or multiple fish hanging close together. Split screen zoom

divides the display into the full range view on the right, and the zoomed view on

the left. Humminbird® offers One-Touch® Zoom which allows the zoom feature to

be easily accessed from the regular sonar view with just one key press, eliminating

the need to use menus to access the feature.

Zoom, Bottom Lock: Bottom Lock Zoom is a feature that focuses on a smaller area

just above the bottom to provide enhanced resolution. Unlike regular zoom, it

continuously graphs the bottom at a constant point on the display regardless of

changes in depth. This “flattens“ out the bottom contour, but is effective at

showing fish on or near the bottom, and is preferred by many saltwater anglers.

GPS & Navigation Terms:

Acquisition Time: The length of time that a GPS receiver typically takes to

determine a position from at least three satellites. Humminbird® GPS receivers

provide very fast acquisition times (under one minute), permitting users to get out

on the water faster.

Alarm, Arrival: The audible alert that sounds when the boat is equal to or less than

the alarm setting (25 feet – 3000 feet) from the location of the destination waypoint.

Alarm, Drift: Drift Alarm is an audible alert that sounds when the boat is equal to

or over the alarm setting (25 feet – 3000 feet) from the location where the alarm

was turned on.

Alarm, Off-Course: Off-Course Alarm is an audible alert that sounds when the

boat’s distance from the intended Track, (Cross Track Error), is equal to or over the

alarm setting (25 feet – 3000 feet). See Track and Cross Track Error.

Altitude: Altitude measures height above sea level. Altitude is a measurement that

can be provided by GPS.

Bearing (BRG): Bearing is the direction to a destination waypoint measured in

degrees from North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South,

270° is West).

Chartplotter: Chartplotter describes a navigation device that shows Present

Position on a Map, along with Tracks, Waypoints, and Routes. All Chartplotters are

also considered Trackplotters. All Humminbird® GPS Combo units are

Chartplotters. See Trackplotter.

Cold Start: Cold Start refers to the procedure that a GPS receiver must perform

when it does not have historical information regarding its current location. This

procedure typically lasts for several minutes, and may be experienced upon first

power up of the receiver, or if the receiver has been moved a great distance.

Course Over Ground (COG): Course Over Ground is the current direction the boat

is traveling measured in degrees from North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090°

East, 180° is South, 270° is West). When the Course Over Ground is equal to

Bearing, the boat is said to be “On Course” and will arrive at the destination in the

most efficient manner. COG is often confused with Heading. See Heading.

Cross Track Error (XTE): Cross Track Error is the straight-line distance of the boat

from the intended Track. XTE measures how far the boat is off course, and also

triggers the Off Course Alarm. See Track.

Differential GPS (DGPS): Differential GPS is a system to improve the position

accuracy of the Department of Defense GPS through the use of secondary

“correction signals” broadcast from ground stations around the coastal United

States and on some inland waterways. These correction signals are provided by

the USCG and received by an auxiliary Differential Beacon Receiver (DBR) that

connects to the GPS receiver. The advent of WAAS has largely negated the need

for the added expense of a DBR in the United States.

Distance To Go: Distance To Go is the straight-line distance between Present

Position and the Destination Waypoint. DTG and SOG (Speed Over Ground) are

used to calculate Time To Go. See Time to Go and Speed Over Ground.

Estimated Position Error (EPE): Estimated Position Error is a calculation that

indicates the potential position inaccuracy the user may experience due to a

variety of GPS factors which include satellite position in the sky, signal strength

and others factors.

Fix Type: Fix Type indicates whether the GPS receiver is providing 2D fix or 3D fix. A

2D fix requires only three satellites and provides only latitude and longitude. A 3D fix

requires four or more satellites, and provides latitude, longitude and altitude.

GPS: GPS is an acronym for Global Positioning System. GPS provides accurate

position (latitude, longitude, altitude) information virtually anywhere on the earth

through satellite technology and personal receivers on the ground. A series of

geosynchronous satellites broadcast a unique signal toward the earth once per

second. A GPS receiver, such as that included with many Humminbird® products,

receives the signals from these satellites and is able to determine position based

on very slight differences in the time each signal is received and the receiver’s

knowledge of the location of each of the satellites.

Heading: Heading describes the direction the boat is pointing and is measured in

degrees (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West).

Due to wind and waves, the boat is often traveling in a slightly different direction

than it is heading, and therefore Heading is often confused with Course Over

Ground. See Course Over Ground.

Map Datum: A Map Datum refers to a particular survey of the earth’s surface that

was referenced when creating a chart (i.e. WGS84). Since the earth is not flat, and

not even consistently round, a mathematical model must be used to translate

coordinates from the sphere of the earth to the flat surface of a chart. This

mathematical model is the Map Datum. Historically, many different Map Datums

have been used around the world to create maps; often a reference to the Map

Datum can be found in the legend of a paper map. It is important to select the

correct Map Datum setting in your fishfinder when comparing GPS position to a

paper chart to avoid slight position inaccuracies. Almost all electronic charts use

the WGS84 Map Datum and therefore, they do not require setting changes.

MMC: MMC is an acronym for Multi Media Card. An MMC is a postage stamp-

sized memory device used to store electronic data such a maps, waypoints, routes

and other information. MMC is a very rugged format suitable for the marine

environment, but it is not waterproof. The MMC is removable from Humminbird®

products, and can be used in a PC that is equipped with an appropriate card

reader. MMC is the same format that many digital cameras use. See SD.

North, Magnetic: North is the principle reference point of the compass (i.e. North

is 000°). Magnetic North relies on the earth’s magnetic field to align a metal

pointer generally towards True North. However, due to local variations in the

earth’s magnetic field around the globe, the difference between True North and

Magnetic North can be greater than 10°. See True North.

North, True: North is the principle reference point of the compass (i.e. North is

000°). True North uses the axis of the rotation of the earth as the reference for

North and is constant for all points on the earth. Most GPS units default to True

North as the setting. The GPS heading may vary from the boat compass heading

because the compass uses Magnetic North. Humminbird® GPS units provide the

option of selecting True or Magnetic readouts by using the North Reference menu.

See Magnetic North.

Present Position: Present Position is the current location (latitude, longitude)

determined by GPS. The Present Position is indicated on-screen by a directional

boat icon if the boat is moving, or a round symbol if the boat is stationary.

Route: A Route is series of waypoints linked together in a specific sequence to

define a navigation path between two points, and saved in the fishfinder’s

Glossary

memory. Routes are often used when frequently traveling between two or more

locations because it is a faster and more accurate method than repeatedly

selecting individual waypoints each time one travels through the same area.

Routes consist of a Start Waypoint, an End Waypoint, and a series of waypoints

in between. Users can begin navigation at the beginning, the end (to run the route

in reverse) or at any waypoint in between. See Waypoint.

SD: SD is an acronym for Secure Digital. An SD card is virtually identical in

function to an MMC; however, the speed at which information can be accessed is

generally faster, the storage capacity is generally larger, and the card has security

features which can be used to prevent extracting the data from the card. SD is the

same format that many digital cameras use. See MMC.

Selective Availability: Selective Availability (SA) is a GPS system “feature” that

can be implemented by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to degrade the

accuracy of GPS positioning information. With SA active, the GPS is accurate to

within 100 meters 95% of the time. With SA inactive, the GPS is accurate to within

45 meters 95% of the time. Currently, SA is inactive and the consumer can enjoy

the greater precision GPS provides; however, the DoD reserves the right to activate

SA at any time.

Speed Over Ground (SOG): Speed Over Ground is the measurement of the boat’s

progress across a given distance, and is the speed measurement provided by GPS.

An alternate, Speed Through Water, is provided by a speed paddlewheel, and is

the measurement of the flow past the boat, which may vary depending on current

speed and direction. Speed Over Ground is optimal for navigation because

accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement. Humminbird®

products allow for input and display of both speed measurements.

Time To Go (TTG): Time To Go is the estimated time required to reach the destination

waypoint. TTG is calculated using the SOG and DTG. See SOG and DTG.

Track: A Track is a series of saved points that define the past path of the boat.

These Track Points are saved at regular time intervals. Tracks are a useful and quick

method to see where you’ve been, and an easy guide to follow to get you back to

the starting point. Generally, all GPS units have a limited number of Track Points

that can be saved before the unit runs out of memory and begins erasing the first

track points saved. Because of this, the user can adjust the Track Point Interval

menu to increase the amount of time between when points are saved, and thus

extend the distance covered by a track. Tracks can also be permanently saved to

memory, and re-displayed at the user’s option.

Track Line (TRK): The Track Line is the planned line of travel between two

waypoints, and it represents the most efficient path between the two points

because it is a straight line. The TRK is measured in degrees (i.e. 321°, where 000°

is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West). See Cross Track Error and

Course Over Ground.

Trackplotter: Trackplotter describes a navigation device that shows Present

Position, along with Track, Waypoint, and Routes, but NO MAP in the background.

See Chartplotter.

Trolling Grid: Trolling Grid is a Humminbird® feature that displays a precise

reference grid around a waypoint. This grid is used as a guide pattern for trolling

around a specific area to assure a more efficient and complete coverage of that

area. Trolling Grid resolution be changed by zooming in or out on the chart. The

Trolling Grid can also be rotated on the display to orient it for optimal boat course

for wave and wind conditions.

UTC: UTC is an acronym for Universal Time Constant. UTC is the “standard time”

used in navigation, and is the local time in Greenwich England. (UTC is equivalent

to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)). To display the correct Local Time in a

Humminbird® GPS unit, the user must use the Local Time Zone menu and select

the time zone (i.e. EST, CST).

WAAS: WAAS is an acronym for Wide Area Augmentation System. WAAS is

complementary technology to GPS that provides enhanced accuracy through

correction signals broadcast from Federal Aviation Administration WAAS satellites

stationed over the USA. These secondary signals are automatically received by the

standard Humminbird® GPS Receiver. With WAAS signal, GPS accuracy is

improved to within 3 meters 95% of the time. Outside the United States, regional

governmental coalitions have created similar systems such as EGNOS (Europe)

and MSAS (Japan).

Waypoint: A Waypoint is the saved location (latitude, longitude) of a point of

interest that is stored in a GPS receiver’s memory. This can include a marker buoy,

dock, fishing hole or anywhere else the user may want to return to. Humminbird®

products offer the ability to name and assign a symbol to the saved location.

Depth, Date and Time of Day when the waypoint was created is also saved.

Waypoint Target: Waypoint Target is a Humminbird® feature that displays a

precise “bull’s eye” around a selected waypoint. This bull’s eye is used to easily

monitor boat position relative to a waypoint, and is useful for fishing over

submerged structure. With Waypoint Targets, a quick look at the screen lets you

know how far off the waypoint the boat has drifted.
