WideSide Sonar

(with optional-purchase WideSide transducer)
Your 700 Series Fishing System also supports WideSide sonar with the purchase of an additional WideSide transducer. The WideSide transducer is a specialized "side-looking" transducer that is extremely useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open water. The WideSide transducer uses three different sonar elements that transmit signals to the left, right and straight down from your boat. The downward beam is 200 kHz with a 24 area of coverage. This beam maintains a continuous digital depth readout from the bottom directly beneath your boat. The side beams are 455 kHz with a 16 area of coverage. The side-looking elements can be used independently, or together to locate targets near the surface of the water on either side of your boat.

Universal Sonar 2

Your 700 Series Fishing System supports Universal Sonar 2, a state-of-theart, 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 shaftout of sight and out of harms 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, and 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 +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 10 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 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. The GPS Receiver included with your 700 Series Fishing System allows you to cosmbine easy-to-use FishingGPS chartplotter and navigation capabilities with advanced fishfinding.

Bottom Contour Profile with RTS Window.

Rocky Bottom

Hard Bottom Soft Bottom
The sonar returns from the bottom, structure and fish can be represented as either WhiteLine or Structure ID. See Sonar Menu Tab: Bottom View for details on how to set the bottom view.
Structure ID represents weak returns in blue and strong returns in red.
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.

Sonar Zoom View

Sonar Zoom View increases the displayed resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close together, such as those caused by fish suspended close to the bottom or within structure. In Zoom View, the display is split to show a narrow slice of the full range view on the right and the zoomed view on the left. The full range view on the right also contains the Zoom Preview Box that shows what part of the full range view is shown in zoom view on the left; the Zoom Preview Box tracks the bottom in the full range view. As the depth changes, the zoomed view updates automatically to display a magnified image of the bottom. The Zoom Preview Box shows where the zoomed view is in relation to the full range view. The Zoom Level, or magnification, is displayed in the lower left corner and can be changed to suit conditions (see Sonar X-Press Menu: Zoom Level). Upper and Lower Zoom Depth Range numbers indicate the depth of the water which is being viewed. Digital depth is displayed in the upper left hand corner. The digital readouts in the Sonar Zoom View cannot be customized; therefore, information such as water temperature and voltage are unavailable in the Sonar Zoom View.

200/83 kHz Split Sonar View
Split Sonar View displays sonar returns from the 83 kHz wide beam on the left side of the screen and displays sonar returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam on the right side of the screen. Depth is always displayed in the upper left hand corner. You can use the Split Sonar View to make side by side comparisons between the sonar returns from the 83 kHz wide beam and the 200 kHz narrow beam. The digital readouts in the Split Sonar View cannot be customized; therefore, information such as water temperature and voltage are unavailable in the Split Sonar View.

Big Digits View

Big Digits View provides digital data in a large, easy-to-see format. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature, speed and Triplog information are displayed automatically if the appropriate accessory is connected to the system. The Triplog shows distance traveled, average speed, and time elapsed since the Triplog was last reset. The digital readouts in the Big Digits View cannot be customized.

Highlighting a recording: You can scroll through the whole list of recording icons available in the Snapshot and Recording View using the 4-WAY Cursor keys. The highlighted icon will be surrounded by arrows, and a green play triangle will appear to its right. Playing back a recording: Highlight a recording icon (using the Up or Down 4-Way Cursor keys), then use the Right 4-Way Cursor key to start playback. During playback, all active navigation is cancelled, all other thumbnails and icons will disappear, and a "Playback" message box similar to the Simulation message will be displayed periodically. When playback begins, the view is automatically switched to the primary Sonar View for your model, and no live sonar data will be displayed; only recorded sonar and GPS data will be shown, and the Snapshot and Recording View will display the playback status. You can change the speed, skip to the beginning or end of playback, and even reverse playback, using the Playback Speed X-Press menu item, and stop the playback using the Stop Playback X-Press menu item; these items are added to the X-Press menus in all views during playback. In the Snapshot and 25
Recording View only, playback speed can also be changed using the Left and Right 4-Way Cursor keys. Playback is paused when the sonar cursor is active and resumes playing when the cursor is removed. Playback is automatically paused when the end of the recording is reached.
NOTE: Sonar chart speed is increased during Fast Forward and reversed during Rewind. This may reduce the quality of the sonar image, since at higher speeds, not every sonar return can be processed and displayed. NOTE: Navigation is not affected by the Sonar Recording feature, but any active navigation is cancelled when playback begins or ends.

You can delete the highlighted recording, or all recordings, using Delete Recording or Delete All Recordings from the Snapshot and Recording X-Press menu.

Side Beam View

Side Beam View is only available if you have connected an optional-purchase QuadraBeam transducer accessory and when Transducer Select is set to QuadraBeam (see Sonar Menu Tab: Transducer Select). The QuadraBeam PLUS transducer requires a separate purchase. This view shows sonar information from both the left and right 455 kHz beams and the 200 kHz downlooking beam in one view. You can customize the way the sonar data is displayed in the Side Beam View to suit your personal preferences. Depending on the layout selected from the Quad Layout Sonar X-Press menu (only available on the Sonar X-Press menu when in Side Beam View), the display will represent the same sonar data in one of the following three layouts: Default, Classic, and Slanted. Default layout: The top portion of the display presents a historical log of sonar returns from the 200 kHz down-looking sonar beam. New information in the down beam panel scrolls from right to left. The bottom portion of the display presents a historical log of sonar returns from the 455 kHz right- and leftlooking sonar beams. New information in the side beam panels scrolls from the center out.

Cartography

Speed of Boat

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).
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 keys 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. Zooming: Use the Plus (+) key to Zoom In and the Minus (-) key to Chart View with Cursor Present, shown with Zoom Out showing the cartography at Optional-Purchase Navionics Cartography different scales. The scale is indicated on the left side of the display. If you zoom in beyond the available chart data, the display will go into Overzoom mode whereby the last available chart data is 35
amplified to reflect the scale selected. If you zoom in so far that no cartography is available, a lat/long grid will be drawn instead. Chart Info: Use the INFO key to get detailed information about the chart. If the cursor is active, you will see information about the chart objects located near the cursor. If the cursor is not active, the Chart Info menu will appear. You can select the nearest port, the nearest tide station, or the nearest current station to see information about any of these objects.
NOTE: The built-in UniMap does not contain any Port, Tide or Current information. This information is only available from optional-purchase MMC/SD cards.

BRG: Bearing to Waypoint

Bearing of Boat with Respect to True North Speed of Boat
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. 37
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. Save the cursor position as a waypoint: On the Chart or Combo view, use the Cursor key to designate the position you want to save as a waypoint. Then press the MARK key to save the marked position as a waypoint. Save a position from the sonar history: On any Sonar view, use the Cursor key to point to a feature in the sonar history (also called the Sonar Saver feature). Press the MARK key to create a waypoint at the location where that sonar reading was taken. The new waypoint will also record the depth at that location.
NOTE: When you save a waypoint by any of these methods, a numerical waypoint name is automatically assigned. You can edit the waypoint information later to give it a different name and select an icon to represent it (see Waypoint submenu on the Navigation Main Menu Tab).
Display the Waypoints Submenu: From any view, press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu System, then use the RIGHT Cursor key to select the Navigation tab.

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. 149
