The numbers are all there on the screen of my 73sv.

Is their a way to view / watch the sonar recordings on a computer? I found the screen shots I took, could view them. Saw a folder for sonar recordings, was just a bunch of garble (technical term!).

Download Garmin HomePort on your computer and you can transfer files from your SD card for editing and playback.
How do you take screenshots?
EDIT: OK, I found the answer to that question in the APPENDIX of my owners manual. I think that should take care of my initial problem of not seeing numbers. I was looking at a sonar recording, not a screenshot.

Thanks for the info! I might try it after lunch. It's either that or replace a firing pin in a pistol.
Glad I could help with the screen shot!

You can record and download 2d, dv and sv to Homeport as recommended. You may not be happy with what you are able to display with the sv. It gives you a narrow portion of what you have recorded. i.e. if you made pass and thought you were recording out to 50 or 100 feet you will only get a displayed range of something less. It will depend on the depth you are in also. I went around and around with them about it but to no avail. Was told there were no plans to fix it either. Does an awesome job on the 2d and dv, but I wanted to be able to study the sv on the home pc screen--which I can, just way less than what I showed recording. This information is a bit over a year old, and I have not checked again. Maybe something has changed.

^^^this is a biggie for me, because i cant really afford anything over a 7" screen size. So i have to be able to review recordings at home.
My 7SV is basically just a Panoptix machine for me at this point.

As of this afternoon, Garmin was having issues with homeport. They said IT was working on it.

Homeport was a big selling point for me as I stated, I wanted to be able to review especially sv at home. It is free, and it works great on 2d and dv. If really enhancing your sv learnings at home is your priority then you, like me, may be disappointed. It is cool in that you can change color schemes and gain etc, but the range reduction on sv was very disappointing for me. They explained the process to me but the bottom line is that the display you see on your unit while recording sv is NOT what you will be able to display at home.
