This section covers the additional sonar options for the

GPSMAP 182/182C when used in conjunction with a Sounder

Module. Read the Installation Instructions to properly install the

Sounder Module.

NOTE: You MUST have a Sounder Module installed and

connected to your GPSMAP 182/182C to use the sonar

features.

When a Sonar Module, such as the GSD 20, and a transducer are

connected to the GPSMAP 182/182C, the Sonar Page is added to

the page sequence. To view the Sonar Page, press PAGE or QUIT

repeatedly until it appears.

Sonar Page

The Sonar Page is where your GPSMAP 182/182C Sounder

becomes a powerful fishfinder/flasher. Fish appear as colored

arches or as fish icons. Both fish icons and arches appear in three

different sizes. Thermoclines are shown as shades of blue. The area

of strongest sonar return is displayed as solid white (if Whiteline

is active. Typically, the bottom is the primary whiteline. A thin

whiteline indicates a soft bottom and a thick whiteline follows the

contour of the bottom and show any objects of reasonable size.
