Today was the maiden voyage with this new unit. Price at Bass Pro was $169. On sale for $20 off plus a $50 visa rebate card, so $99. I had a $25 gift card and sold the old Garmin 100 echo black and white on craigslist for $40. So net to me for the new unit was $34. Not bad! Anyway, here are two pics of roughly the exact same area (give or take 10 feet- hence the different depths). When I turned the fish ID off I get all of this crazy color noise per this photo.

Too much going on for me, so I turned the fish ID to "on" and then it started looking like this...

I like the cleaner screen, but would rather use the arches instead of fish ID. Any thoughts? If I turn fish ID "off"...I get all of those colors and dots like in the first photo. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or ideas. Thanks a lot.
