First time to use a graph. Installed Garmin Echomap UHD 93sv.

First question - on the navigation setting, is there a way I can get GPS Speed, direction, depth... that information on the side of the screen while in Navigation using maps? Currently, the only way I can get that is if I go Split screen with half of it nav, and half of it Sonar. The sonar screen holds the data I am looking for. The default navigation screen has a map only. No other data visible.

Second question - 1st day I took boat out I had transducer mounted well below boat hull. Images looked awesome, but huge rooster tail was flying up. I mounted to new location higher up, roughly even with bottom of bass tracker aluminum boat. On the water, there was a ton of interference on the top. Looked like the top 1/4 of the 2d sonar screen was near solid orange. This wasn't the case the first day, it was clear up top. I assume I need to lower it down a bit to remove interference? But I don't know.

Thanks for any help for this new guy.

Yes, its in the settings, display. There are options for bottom, side, top displays. It’s in your manual. Read the manual for proper installation depth. There is a balance between readability and rooster tail.

I moved the transducer down to the lower part of the stepped hull on the back of the tracker. Per Wayne's advice in another thread. The images today looked good to me.

I found settings to turn on gps speed and depth while navigating.


I appreciate your help, and I love the Garmin.

I assume you're saving up or already bought the Livescope? If not, that's your next best investment for most types of fishing (Crappie, whites, stripers, hybrids, but less for bass fishing)

I got the Garmin Echomap Ultras with the LiveScope and I really like it a lot. I have found the Garmin units much more user friendly than the ones (another brand) I replaced. The LiveScope is really nice as well. You see the fish real time as well as the structure out in front of your boat. I was on a school of bass which I had found and tossed out a marker. I caught several on a C-rig and then the fish moved about 50 feet to the side of the marker. I started casting to the fish and caught several more until they just quit biting. If I did not see them move, I would have been still casting to the area immediately around the marker which had no fish under it.
