Hard to see screen

[silverside]

Today I used my Garmin Striker Plus for the second time. I stink at this so far. I could not see the side imaging screen well enough to actually USE it. It was an overcast day. I raised and lowered the brightness. I tilted it and swiveled it. I changed color palates too. Nothing seemed to help. What have I maybe over-looked?

Were you turning up screen brightness, or brightness on the sonar settings? Just make sure to put the screen brightness on 100% Other than that Im not sure. Maybe you had the distance sitting too close and all you were seeing was water column? I run my side scan distance out as much as 4 times greater than depth. If im in 10 FOW I will adjust to around 40ft out on side scan. Maybe that will help.

Not sure now. I will check which one tonight. Thanks... I was so consumed by trying to fix it that I didn't get to fish much.

Try 455 khz instead of 800 as well. Generally 455 is better for long range, 800 and higher is better for close up detail.

There should also be a setting for color contrast that may help too.
