Split Screen
Split Screen ViewThe split screen view creates a very versatile sonar and GPS instrument and leads to multiple on-screen configuration choices. If the split screen feature is important, check the manual for exact features and operation before you purchase a sonar or GPS unit. Product manual links can be conveniently found on each product page or comparison page of this site (if available).

A fish-finder-GPS is quite often very useful with sonar displayed on one side and a GPS map displayed on the other. Other uses include viewing different sonar frequencies and cone angles side-by-side, available in mid-range to high-end units. Some sonar models like to use one side of the screen to choose a zoom area from, to display on the other side of the screen. |
