WHAT YOU SEE ON - SCREEN Your Tour Series uses a 64 x 128 matrix Supe rTwist LCD display. This type of display provides outstanding viewability in all light conditions over a wide range of temperatures. The presentation of information on - screen may take one of several forms depending on the type of transducer being used, whe ther or not the Temp/[...]

INTERPRETING THE ON - SCREEN INFORMATION Figure E shows a typical view you can expect to see on - water. New sonar information appears on the right side of the graphic area of the display and moves to the lef t as new information is displayed. The Tour Series automatically selects the appropriate depth range to show the depth of water beneath the t[...]

Sonar targets which are not physically a ttached to the bottom may take one of many shapes. Surface clutter is the layer of water near the surface which is rich in algae and other growth, and often is aerated by wind or wave action. This area of water interferes with sonar transmission and often appears on - screen as regular clusters of individual[...]
