3. View map data...(HB base map or inserted SD mapping card)...

... To view or mark waypoints on a different area of the map from the present simulation view:
a. zoom out until the area desired shows on the map..
b. activate and move the 4way cursor to the desired area...
c. zoom in to the desired zoom level
d. press "Mark" button on the unit face to create a waypoint at the cursor location
e. press "Exit" on the unit face to return to the original simulation area of map where boat icon was last before activating 4way cursor

Switch fire is more than sensitivity settings its processing system of the sonar returns. The Clear Mode filters out the side lobes of sonar and look at only the most intense part of the sonar beam for a very precision based 2D sonar system. It also filters out "Clutter" like microscopic organisms, air bubbles and features automatic adjustment of power no matter the depth. Excellent sonar for shallow water depths so you don't over power.

Max Mode is unfiltered data it reads the side lobe returns and displays everything on the screen. It makes vertical fishing easier to track your lure on the screen.
