Viewing the Sonar Temperature Tab

NOTE: You must be receiving proper sonar data from another

device, such as a Garmin GSD 20 or GSD 21 Sounder Module,

to view temperature information.

The Temperature sub tab provides a visual graph of water

temperature changes over a period of time. The graph reads from

right to left, so that the most recent temperature measured is shown

on the far right side of the graph. The dotted lines within the graph

indicate intervals in the temperature scale and the duration of time.

NOTE: Select Temp for the Transducer type in the Sonar

Setup. See

“Setting Up the Sonar Page”

on

page 125

for more

information.

Press MENU twice to open the Main Menu. Select Sonar from the

vertical row of tabs on the left, then select Temperature from the

row of tabs along the top of the screen.

The graph adjusts and shown the temperatures changes according to

the Temperature Scale and Time Duration settings.
Temperature Scale—select the degree span from the list. Select

Auto to have the unit automatically determine the best range, or

select a span of 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 degrees.
Time Duration—set how fast or slow the temperature log scrolls:

a shorter the time duration means a faster temperature log scroll.
