• Window can dynamically be sized on your monitor.

Emulator
For the ultimate training aid, be sure to download the free emulator
software for your unit. This program can help you learn both basic and
advanced operations without burning boat fuel!
This PC application simulates the actual sonar/GPS unit on your com-
puter. You can run it from your computer keyboard or use your mouse
to press the virtual keys. Easy download and installation instructions
are available on our web site.
The emulator works exactly like your real sonar/GPS unit. When using
the Sonar and GPS Simulators you can play back sonar logs, run GPS
routes and trails, even create real waypoints you can use in the field.
You can take snapshots of the Sonar Chart and print them or e-mail
them to friends.
And that is just some of the material available on our web site. To find
out what we have available, log on and look around. For now, we'll get
back to how to use this particular unit.

those commands and other instructions:
