You can take screenshots while the recording is playing back on the unit itself...

Playback the recording on the unit...

*Then Press Menu twice to get into the main menu...
*Cursor over to the "Accessories" tab ...
*Cursor down to "Screenshots" ...
*Cursor right to turn on "Screenshots" ...
*Press the "Exit" button repeatedly until you back out of the menu system ...
*Freeze the playback when something interesting shows in the playback display....by pressing the 4way cursor ...
*Press the "Mark" button to save a screenshot to the SD Card ...(this will also create a waypoint at the position on the water of where the boat was in that instant when the recording was made)....
*Press menu 1 time to open the Xpress menu...
*Cursor down to "Stop Playback"...
*Remove SD Card from the unit ...

*Insert SD Card in your Mac card reader ...
*Open the SD Card so you can see the files and folders contained on the SD Card ...
*Open the "Snapshot" folder ...
*Click on the file with a .PNG extension...

The screenshot should open on your Mac...
