Viewing Fishing Information
The shing screen shows present water temperature, present surface pressure conditions, and shing forecasts.
From the Home screen, select  > .
Surface Pressure and Water Temperature Data
Surface-pressure information appears using pressure isobars and pressure centers. Isobars
connect points of
equal pressure. Pressure readings can help to determine weather and wind conditions. High-pressure areas are
generally associated with fair weather. Low-pressure areas are generally associated with clouds and the chance
of precipitation. Isobars packed closely together show a strong pressure gradient. Strong pressure gradients are
associated with areas of stronger winds.
Pressure units are shown in millibars (mb), inches of Mercury (inHg), and hectopascals (hPa).
Colored shading
, as dened by the legend
in the upper-left corner of the display, indicates the surface
temperature of the water.
Forecasting Fish Location
You can show areas
that contain optimal weather conditions for specic species of sh.
1. From the Home screen, select  > >  > .
2. Select a species of sh.
3. Select  > .
Shaded areas indicate optimal shing areas.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to show areas with optimal weather conditions for additional species of sh.
