Furuno CH-500 User Manual

2. HORIZONTAL MODE
2-9
2.8 Horizontal + Vertical Mode
With the Horizontal + Vertical display mode you can show both horizontal and vertical
echoes in one of two manners.
The default display mode shows both a horizontal (360° around the ship) view in the
main section of the display and a vertical (cross-section) scan of the waters below the
ship at the bottom-right of the screen.
The split-screen display shows the horizontal (180° in the train direction) view at the
top half of the screen and a vertical (cross-section) scan of the waters below the ship
at the bottom half of the screen.
This mode is best used to estimate the size, location in relation to the seabed and dis-
tribution of schools which are both below and around the ship.
The split display also gives you a better idea of where your net is in relation to the boat.
When using the CH-500, press to view this display mode.
