What’s On the Display (2D View)
In 2D views, your Matrix™ Fishing System can display a variety of useful information about the area under and adjacent to your boat, including the following items:
NOTE: Entries in this view that list (with Temp/Speed or GPS Receiver) are available if either device is connected to the Matrix™ Fishing System. If both devices are connected, then only the information from
the GPS receiver will be displayed on the view.
Fish ID+™ - A fish icon will be shown at the
derived position of the fish. Six fish icon styles
will be used to indicate the primary beam in
which the fish was found. Left-facing fish
indicate fish off the port side of the boat, while
right-facing fish indicate fish off the starboard
side. Each fish icon is available in three
different sizes. Larger fish icons are used to
represent stronger returns. The icons used in
the 2D Sonar View are identical to the icons
used in the 3D Sonar View.
RTS® (Real Time Sonar) Window
Soft Bottom
Thermoclines - layers of water with different
temperatures that appear at different depths
and different times of the year. A thermocline
typically appears as a continuous band of
many gray levels moving across the display at
the same depth.
Battery Voltage - the voltage of the boat’s
battery; can be set to alarm if the voltage falls
below a certain point.
Structure - where fish may be hiding.
Cursor Dialog Box - indicates cursor depth on the display and the depth of the bottom
directly below the cursor.
Second Sonar Return - when the sonar
signal bounces between the bottom and the
surface of the water and back again. Use the
appearance of the second return to determine
bottom hardness. Hard bottoms will show a
strong second return, while soft bottoms will
show a very weak one or none at all.
Hard Bottom
Rocky Bottom
Timer - elapsed time with Temp/Speed
Accessory or GPS Receiver.
Distance - distance traveled with Temp/Speed
Accessory or GPS Receiver.
Average Speed - average speed reading with
Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver.
Bait Ball
Cursor - available in Freeze Frame and can be positioned in the Sonar View to provide
depth of a sonar return and bottom depth below the cursor.
Temperature - water surface temperature.
Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS
Receiver is attached, the Matrix can display the
speed of the boat, and can keep a Triplog of
nautical or statute miles traveled.
Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm
when the water becomes too shallow.
