Calibrate Speed
The speed sensor can be calibrated to compensate for inaccuracies.
Before you change the setting, first calculate the percentage that the
speed is off. You will enter this percentage in a moment.
For example, if you figure the sensor is reading 10 percent faster than
actual speed, you will enter – 10 in the calibration window. If the
sensor is reading 5 percent slower than true speed, you will enter + 5 in
the window.
A good way to gauge your speed sensor's performance is to compare its
reading with the ground speed measured by your unit's GPS functions.
When you make a run to compare GPS ground speed to speed sensor
speed, perform your test in relatively calm water free of current, if
possible. (Unless, of course, you are taking the current speed into
consideration when making your calculation.) After you have a correct
figure, here's how to enter it:
1. Press
MENU|MENU| to SONAR SETUP|ENT| to CALIBRATE WATER
SPEED|ENT.
