Appendix H
Transducer Coverage
Transducer Coverage
The area covered by the transmitted sound waves is determined by the cone angle of the transducer
and the water depth. Using GARMIN’s standard 20° transducer, the coverage is approximately 1/3 of the
water depth. As shown is Example 1, the coverage area at a 30-foot depth is approximately a 10-foot
diameter circle. The scale below illustrates how coverage increases as depth increases.
