Understanding the Flasher Screen

(GPSMAP 431s/531s/536s only) Use the Flasher screen to display sonar

information on a circular depth scale

. The scale indicates what is beneath

your boat. It is organized as a ring that starts at the top and progresses

clockwise. Sonar information flashes on the ring when it is received at the

depth indicated. The colors indicate different strengths of the sonar return.

(When using the white default color scheme, red indicates the strongest return,

blue indicates the weakest return, and white indicates no return.)
From the Home screen, select Sonar > flasher.
