2. Move the cursor to the desired reference point (the point that you want to measure from) and

press ENTER/MARK.

• Show Sonar/Show Flasher/Hide Flasher— toggles a split screen showing Sonar or Flasher
information on the right side of the Map Page in addition to the map. With ‘Show Sonar’ active, the
unit will act as a fi shfi nder showing a graphic representation of fi sh, water depth, thermoclines and
structure, and bottom type and shape. In ‘Show Flasher’ mode, the graphic Flasher displays structure
and bottom returns much the same as a true Flasher.
