<div>Jon, </div><div>firstly correction, the depth rating I'm getting for that 1/4" thick disk is 4,474ft. I will be going this route! </div><div>The depth sounders normally have charts with them & the charts are continually being updated and with GPS, put you in location when you are on the surface. </div><div>If you find anything of significance like a treasure chest; you can go straight up to the surface & mark it with a way point on your maps. Also having the display enables you to see objects of interest below you. </div><div>Alan</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

<div dir="ltr">Yes. I want everything (or as much as possible, realistically) on my primary display and feel that I really only need a digital numerical representation of depth rather than the functionality of a fishfinder or side-scan sonar. However, some traditional fishfinders have a NMEA output that can feed other displays/instruments. It may turn out that such a fishfinder is an appropriate solution and in fact cheaper than a transducer specific to my needs. However the question would still remain, what is the reach of the sounder in a real world application.</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Jon</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"></div>
