Thanks CarpPoop. So we are looking out to the side at a view that is at a 90* angle on the screen instead of parallel like a regular sonar ? That was my question and I guess I'm wondering why they can't show it left to right instead of top to bottom. It makes me dizzy looking at it cause I keep tilting my head to see it. I guess guys must get used to it. Seems to be the rage in some circles. How do they work in not so clear water, say the Mississippi River ? Thanks, Jim
