StructureMap | Lowrance HDS Gen2 Touch
Sharing les
After structure sonar log (.sl2) files are converted to StructureMap
(.smf) files, they can be saved to a SD card and used on other GPS
capable HDS Gen 2 units without the need for the StructureScan
module.

You can view StructureMap (.smf) files from the Files menu, which
allows you to quickly see what area each StructureMap file covers.
Scanning Fishing areas
With the Structure Source set to the default Live mode, steer the
boat over the desired location to scan the area. When conducting a
side-by-side scan of an area, you will get a cleaner scan if you do not
overlap history trails and you turn off auto ranging on the SideScan.
¼ NOTE: Optimal speed for viewing or logging StructureMap data
is between 2-8 mph (3-12 kmh). Live mode is disabled for speeds
greater than 10 mph.
Scanning tips
• To get a picture of taller structure (a wreck, etc) — don’t drive over it.
Steer the boat so the structure will be on the left or right side of your
boat.
• Set your structure range to a significantly greater level (two-to-
three times) than the water depth to ensure a complete scan and to
maximize conversion accuracy.
