"Chart Speed" (and in this case the display speed changing by setting a different Sonar setting)...is like most other settings in SI (or DI)...as long as the user understands how to interpret the screen...the effect of the setting can be used for the task the user is trying to garner from the data showing on the display...

If one merely wants to make "pretty" pictures for the internet...getting the display to scroll at the proper rate to get structure to look normal "real world" size is important...therefore "Chart Speed" ...(and also "Sonar Frequency" choice in these software versions)...are both changing the screen scroll rate...which vastly affects the image....

If one wants to stretch the data on the display so as to see fish better..(or look down into brush for fish....or make rocks look bigger...or to discern if a stake bed is shovel handles or board slats...)...then getting the screen to scroll faster is a beneficial tool for those tasks...

As the display scroll speed is so important in how it affects the image ....(At this point in the software)..it's important to recognise that the "Chart Speed" setting is not the only HB imaging setting that is affecting the display scroll speed...
