11.8 Isolating objects near the bottom
The white line feature - see White line - page 97 separates echoes from
objects near the bottom and the bottom itself. When white line is switched
on, the sonar displays echoes differently.
The strongest echoes are displayed in the background with a thin line on
top. All other echoes remain unchanged.
To display white line:
1. Click
Presentation
.
2. Click
White Line
to ON.
The scrolling bottom image will start to display white line from the right of
the screen.
Getting a closer view
Zoom enlarges all or part of the scrolling bottom display. You should select
automatic zoom if you want to keep the bottom in the lower half of the
display page. Alternatively you can select the level of zoom to a factor of
x2,x3, x4 or xR, proportional to the current range. You can also split the
sonar image vertically to show the zoomed area on the left of the screen
and the scrolling bottom on the right of the screen.

image.

11.9 Marking an on-screen position
You can use a sonar mark (sm) - see Sonar mark - page 98 to indicate a
position on the sonar image. The sm is stored in the waypoint list so that
you can name it, save it as a waypoint and return to the same spot. A sm is
displayed on the sonar image as a solid vertical line with the label sm
displayed at intervals along the line. The sm scrolls across the screen with
the image.
Sonar marks can be placed:
•
At your boat’s position.

At a known position.
... at the boat’s current position
