When connected to an optional sounder module such as the GSD 22 and a transducer, your unit can
be used as a shnder/asher. The sounder module connects through the Garmin Marine Network
and shares sonar data with every chartplotter connected to the network.
With the GPSMAP 5000 series unit, you can view sonar in different ways, depending on the type of
transducer you are using. Touch Sonar from the Home screen to view the available choices.
Understanding the Full Screen

sonar readings. The range scale along the right side of the screen shows the depth of detected objects
as the screen scrolls from the right to the left.
From the Home screen, touch Sonar > Full Screen.
