StructureMap | Lowrance HDS Gen2 Touch
(.smf) files, we recommend using an SD card when recording
StructureMaps.
To have structure sonar log (.sl2)
files automatically converted
to StructureMap file format
(.smf), tap Convert to map
when complete on the Sonar
Log menu. The (.sl2) file will be
converted to a (.smf) file when
recording is stopped. You can convert logs after recording from
the File utility. Refer to the Utilities section of this manual for more
information.
¼ NOTE: Keep the size of your sonar logs to 100MB or less to allow for
faster file conversion. Current file size is occasionally flashed on the
screen during the recording process. You will not be able to use any
of the unit’s other functions while a file is being converted.
Converting les in high resolution
You can create standard resolution
or high resolution StructureMap
.smf files. High resolution .smf files
capture more detail, but take longer
to convert and are larger than
standard resolution .smf files.
Check the High Resolution checkbox to convert files in high detail.
Accessing StructureMap les on SD card
All StructureMap files on your SD card will automatically appear on
the screen when Saved mode is selected.
Using StructureMaps with mapping cards
StructureMap allows you to maintain full chart capability and can be
used with embedded cartography as well as Navionics, Insight and
other third-party charting cards compatible with HDS units.
