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.
The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83kHz) 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.

Your 700 Series supports Navionics Gold, HotMaps and HotMapsPreimium on MMC or SD card media.
NOTE: Your 700 Series does not support Navionics Classic Charts, only Navionics Gold, HotMaps, and HotMaps Premium.
Your unit also comes with a built-in World map. Your 700 Series uses the optional-purchase GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat automatically, and uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart to display. See Viewing Cartography for more information.
Multi-Media Card (MMC)/SD Slot
Your 700 Series Fishing System also has a multi-media card (MMC)/SD slot that is used to insert optionalpurchase cards containing additional detailed maps.
NOTE: MMC/SD cards require an optional-purchase GPS receiver in order to function.
Inserting an MMC/SD into the Card Slot
If you insert an MMC/SD that contains a more detailed chart for a particular location, your 700 Series Fishing System will retrieve that chart and display it automatically. Use the illustration to locate the position of the MMC/SD slot cover, remove the MMC/SD slot cover, then insert the MMC/SD into the slot. The label on the MMC/SD should face toward the right side of the unit. Press down on the card until it clicks into place, then replace the slot cover, making certain that the gasket is present and positioned correctly before re-installing the cover, then replace and tighten snugly - do NOT overtighten, as this will not improve water resistance, and may damage the cover.

Software Updates

Use the MMC/SD slot to update the software version of your control head. To update the software in your control head, plug in the appropriate MMC/SD card that contains a software update file; the unit will recognize it, will tell you what software version your control head is currently running, and will ask you if you want to update the software in the unit to match that on the MMC/SD card. You can obtain software updates from the www.humminbird.com website.

GPS Diagnostic View

GPS Diagnostic View shows a sky chart and numerical data from the GPS receiver. The sky chart shows the location of each visible GPS satellite with its satellite number and a signal strength bar. A dark grey bar indicates that the satellite is being used to determine your current position. A light gray bar indicates that the satellite is being monitored, but is not yet being used.
NOTE: The GPS Diagnostic View only appears if the optional-purchase GPS Receiver is connected.
This view also reports the current position, local time and date, and other numeric information. The current GPS Fix Type is reported as No Fix, 2D Fix, 3D Fix, or Enhanced. An Enhanced fix has been augmented using information from WAAS, EGNOS, or MSAS. A 3D or Enhanced Fix is required for navigation. HDOP (the Horizontal Dilution of Precision) is a GPS system parameter which depends on the current satellite configuration. HDOP is used to calculate the Estimated Position Error.

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 you are in Advanced Mode, then highlight Upper Range on the Sonar X-PressTM Menu.
Sensitivity at Low Sensitivity at Medium Sensitivity at High
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Upper Range setting. (0 to 1490 feet or 0 to 497 meters [International Models Only], Default = 0)
To adjust the Sensitivity: 1. Highlight Sensitivity on the Sonar X-PressTM Menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Sensitivity setting. (Low = 1, High = 20, Default = 10)

Page 50

Lower Range
Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that will be displayed. Automatic is the default setting. When in automatic mode, the lower range will be adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom. Selecting a specific setting locks the depth range into Manual mode. Use both Upper and Lower Range together to view a specific depth range manually when looking for fish or bottom structure. M will be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen when you start manually adjusting the Lower Range to indicate that you are in Manual mode. 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, allowing you to see a more detailed view than you would see if the display went all the way to the bottom.

Side Beam Range

(WideSide transducer: WideSide view only) Side Beam Range sets the deepest range that will be displayed in the WideSide View. The range must be set manually to keep the bottom visible on the display. If the Side Beam Range is set too deep for current depth conditions the sonar information will become compressed on the display and valuable detail will be lost. A WideSide transducer must be connected to the 700 Series Fishing System. Side Beam Range menu choice is available when Transducer Select is set to WideSide (see Sonar Menu Tab: Transducer Select) and can only be accessed from the WideSide view.
NOTE: The Side Beam Range requires the purchase of the WideSide transducer. You can visit our website at www.humminbird.com to order this accessory online or contact our Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468.
To adjust the Side Beam Range: 1. Make sure you are in WideSide Transducer Mode and that a WideSide transducer is connected, then highlight Side Beam Range on the Sonar X-PressTM menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Side Beam Range setting. (6 - 160 feet or 2 - 50 meters [International Models only], Default = 160 feet [50 meters])
To adjust the Lower Range: 1. Highlight Lower Range on the Sonar X-PressTM Menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control 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-PressTM Menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Chart Speed setting. (1-9, Ultra, where 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast, Ultra = Fastest, Default = 5)

Bottom View
Bottom View selects the method used to represent bottom and structure on the display. Inverse represents weak returns as dark pixels and strong returns as lighter pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that weak signals will be clearly visible on the display. Structure ID represents weak returns as light pixels and strong returns as dark pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that strong returns will be clearly visible on the display. WhiteLine highlights the strongest sonar returns in white resulting in a distinctive outline. This has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display. Bottom Black displays all pixels below the bottom contour as black, regardless of signal strength. This has the benefit of providing a high contrast between the bottom and other sonar returns on the display. Any targets such as fish, structure and thermoclines will be shown using the Structure ID method. See Bottom Presentation for more information. To adjust the Bottom View: 1. Highlight Bottom View on the Sonar X-PressTM Menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Bottom View setting. (Inverse, Structure ID, WhiteLine, Bottom Black, Default = Inverse)

Bottom Lock

(Sonar Zoom view only) Bottom Lock changes the mode of the Zoomed view in the Sonar Zoom View. Bottom Lock 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. To turn on Bottom Lock: 1. In the Sonar Zoom View, highlight Bottom Lock on the Sonar X-Press Menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Bottom Lock setting to on. (Off, On, Default = Off)

Cancel Navigation

(only when Navigating) Cancel Navigation discards the current route and exits Navigation Mode. This menu choice will only appear when you are currently navigating a route. This will not delete a previouslysaved route. To Cancel Navigation: 1. Highlight Cancel Navigation on the Sonar X-PressTM menu. 2. Use the RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control key to initiate canceling navigation. 3. The Confirm dialog box will appear. To cancel navigation, press the RIGHT Cursor key once more.

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. 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. 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+.

Page 108

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. 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.

You can visit our website at www.humminbird.com to order these accessories online or contact our Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468.

Sonar View is the default view. When the VIEW key is pressed, the display cycles through the available views. When the EXIT key is pressed, the display cycles through the available views in reverse order. Any view can be hidden or displayed as part of the view rotation using the Views Menu tab.

Sonar View

Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature and speed are automatically displayed if the appropriate accessory is connected. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is received, the older information is moved across the display to the left. A Digital Depth Readout is displayed in the upper left corner. A scale with Upper and Lower Depth Range readouts appears along the right edge of the Sonar View. The scale indicates the distance from the surface of the water to a depth range sufficient to show the bottom. Depth Range is automatically selected to keep the bottom visible on the display, although you can adjust it manually as well (see Sonar X-PressTM Menu). Six additional Digital Readouts display information from optional-purchase accessories. These information boxes can be customized to show only the information desired (see Setup Menu Tab, Select Readouts).

Lower Depth Range
NOTE: If the Depth number is flashing, it means that the unit is having trouble locating the bottom. This usually happens if the water is too deep, the transducer is out of the water, the boat is moving too fast, or for any other reason that the unit cant accurately receive continuous data.
Understanding Sonar History
It is important to understand the significance of the 700 Series Fishing System 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.

In all Sonar views but the Big Digits view, pressing any 4-WAY Cursor Control key will activate Freeze Frame and will then allow you to position the cursor on the display. In the Snapshot and Recording View, highlighting a recording icon and pressing the Right 4-WAY Cursor Control key starts recording playback, and the Right and Left keys are used to control the speed of playback.

MARK Key

Press the MARK key while in any view to mark the position of a waypoint, either at the current boat location, or, if the Cursor is active, at the current Cursor location. The MARK key only functions if you have the optional-purchase GPS receiver connected, or if you have enabled Screen Snapshot from the Accessories menu tab. If you have enabled the Screen Snapshot feature, pressing the MARK key still creates a waypoint, but it also captures the screen image to the optional-purchase MMC/SD card.
NOTE: You must have an optional-purchase MMC/SD card installed for the screen snapshot feature to work.
Navigation is not affected by the Screen Snapshot feature. Also, if Screen Snapshot is enabled but there is no GPS receiver connected, pressing the MARK key will capture the screen image and display an error saying that a GPS position fix is required to create a waypoint.

GOTO Key

The GOTO Key has multiple functions, depending on the situation: If the Cursor is active, pressing the GOTO key while in any view creates a waypoint and starts navigation towards that waypoint. If the Cursor is not active, pressing the GOTO key displays the list of waypoints, so that you can select the waypoint towards which you want to navigate. If the GOTO key is pressed and held for more than 1.5 seconds, the Man Overboard (MOB) function is activated. When MOB is activated, an MOB waypoint, which is a permanent, sharable waypoint with a large, distinctive icon, is created at the boat's current position (regardless of whether the chart cursor is active or not). Any current navigation will be cancelled and the current route discarded without user notification, and MOB navigation begins immediately. The view is switched to the Chart View automatically when MOB is activated, and it is not possible to activate MOB or modify the current route without first canceling MOB navigation. Any press of the GOTO key, or selection of a GOTO menu item, will cause an error beep and a short message will be displayed to the user that will disappear after 2 seconds.

Main Menu Tabs - Less frequently-adjusted menus are grouped into the Main Menu System. The Main Menu system is organized under the following tab headings to help you find a specific menu item quickly: Alarms, Sonar, Navigation, Chart, Setup, Views and Accessories.
NOTE: The Navigation and Chart tabs will only appear if you have an optional-purchase GPS receiver connected.
Main Menu System Normal User Mode
Press the MENU key twice for the Main Menu, then use the 4-WAY Cursor LEFT or RIGHT key to select a tab, and use the DOWN or UP key to select a specific menu item under that tab, then use the LEFT or RIGHT keys again to change a menu setting. Press the EXIT key to move quickly to the top of the tab. A down arrow at the bottom of a menu means that you can scroll to additional menu choices using the DOWN Cursor key. A right or left arrow on a menu choice means that you can use the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to make changes or see more information.
NOTE: The Main Menu choices will vary depending on whether you are in Normal or Advanced User Mode, and whether you have an optional-purchase GPS receiver attached.
User Mode (Normal or Advanced) - An Advanced Mode is provided for users who desire the highest level of control over the Fishing System and Normal Mode for users who desire greater simplicity and fewer menu choices. Additional Advanced menu choices will be displayed throughout the menu system when you navigate to specific menus while in Advanced Mode. Any changes made while in Advanced Mode will remain in effect after you switch back to Normal Mode. See Setup Menu Tab: User Mode for specific instructions on changing to Advanced User Mode.

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. 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-toPeak) 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.

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 commonlyused 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 choices 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 feet3000 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 feet3000 feet) from the location where the alarm was turned on. Alarm, Off-Course: Off-Course Alarm is an audible alert that sounds when the boats 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.
