Sonar Page
The Sonar Page is where your GPSMAP 198C Sounder becomes a
powerful fishfinder/flasher. To view the Sonar Page, press PAGE or
QUIT repeatedly until it shows. Fish are shown as colored arches
or as fish icons. Both fish icons and arches appear in three different
sizes. Thermoclines are shown as shades of blue. The area of
strongest sonar return shows as solid white (if Whiteline is active.
Typically, the bottom is the primary whiteline. A thin whiteline
indicates a soft bottom and a thick whiteline follows the contour
of the bottom and show any objects of reasonable size. For more
information on understanding sonar and the screen, see page 89.
