How Sonar Works

Sonar technology is based on audio waves. The 500 Series™ Fishfinder uses sonar to locate and ascertain construction, lesser contour and composition, as well every bit depth directly below the transducer.

Your 500 Series™ Fishfinder sends a audio wave betoken and determines distance by measuring the time betwixt the manual of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to translate location, size, and composition of an object.

Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft (70 k) and back again in less than 1/iv of a second. It is unlikely that your gunkhole can "outrun" this sonar signal.

SONAR is an acronym for Sound and NAvigation Ranging. Sonar utilizes precision sound pulses or "pings" which are emitted into the water in a teardrop-shaped beam.

The sound pulses "repeat" back from objects in the water such every bit the bottom, fish, and other submerged objects. The returne d echoes are displayed on the LCD screen. Each time a new echo is received, the quondam echoes are moved across the LCD, creating a scrolling consequence.

When all the echoes are viewed next, an easy to translate "graph" of the lesser, fish, and construction appears.

The audio pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very loftier frequencies (455 kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good residual betwixt depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83 kHz) are typically used to accomplish greater depth capability.

The power output is the amount of energy generated by the sonar transmitter. It is commonly measured using two methods:

• Root Mean Foursquare (RMS) measures power output over the entire transmit cycle.

• Tiptop to Elevation measures power output at the highest points.

The benefits of increased power output are the power to notice smaller targets at greater distances, power to overcome noise, better high speed performance, and enhanced depth capability.

DualBeam Sonar

Your 500 Series™ Fishfinder uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam sonar system with a broad (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam sonar is optimized to show the greatest bottom definition using a narrow (20°) axle nevertheless can all the same indicate fish found in the wide (60°) axle when the Fish ID+™ feature is turned on. DualBeam is platonic for a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt h2o. Depth capability is affected by such factors as gunkhole speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions, and transducer installation.

How GPS and Cartography Work

Your 500 Series™ Fishfinder too supports GPS and chartplotting. It uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater data. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation organisation designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military machine employ; however, civilians may also take reward of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation

System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are bachelor in your surface area.

GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Your present position is determined by receiving signals from up to 16 satellites and measuring the altitude from the satellites.

All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded bespeak once per second at exactly the same time. The GPS receiver on your boat receives signals from satellites that are visible to it. Based on time

differences between each received signal, the GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite. With distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically triangulates its ain position. With once per second updates, the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing.

How GPS and Cartography Work

The GPS Receiver included with your 500 Serial™ Fishfinder allows you to combine easy-to-apply FishingGPS® chartplotter and navigation capabilities with advanced fishfinding.

The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 500 Series™ Fishfinder when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:

• View current position

• View current rails (breadcrumb trail)

• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver

• Salve tracks, waypoints, and routes

• Travel a route and navigate from ane waypoint to the next.

Your 500 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™ and HotMaps™

Premium on MMC or SD menu media. You can insert optional-purchase cards in the (MMC)/SD slot on your control head to access additional detailed maps. See Multi-Media Carte (MMC)/SD Slot for more data.

NOTE: Your 500 Serial™ supports Navionics® Golden, HotMaps™, and HotMaps™ Premium. Your 500 Series™ does not support Navionics® Classic Charts or Platinum™ Cartography.

Your unit also comes with a built-in UniMap™ with a more detailed map of North America (Domestic models) or a more detailed map of Europe and Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand (International models).

Your 500 Series™ uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat automatically, and it uses the zoom level settings on a detail view to select the best chart to display. See Chart View: Viewing Cartography for more information.

27	Introduction to Navigation

Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation and are used in trip planning. You can linkindividual waypoints together by using the GOTO primal. A road represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each waypoint to the side by side. As you travel a route, staying on the route line is the near efficient fashion to ge t to your dest ination, although you shoul d always l ook out for obstac les not evidence n on the chart. Your 500 Se ries™ Fishfinder can store up to 50 routes that can each contain up to 50 waypoints.

Tracks consist of detailed posit ion history and are displayed equally a breadcrumb trail of trackpoints. The Current Rail shows the position history since the unit was powered upwards (maximum of 20,000 trackpoints displayed). You can articulate the Current Track or save it at any fourth dimension. Your 500 Serial™ Fishfinder tin store up to 5 0 s aved tr acks, each containing 20,000 trackpoints. The curr ent tr ack represents your actual path so far.
