Sonar question

[aboattime]

I am sure this has been asked a 1000 times, so let me make it 1001.
Has anyone ever seen a video on how to use a sonar (Garmin 4210)?
I bought one from Bennett Marine and it was just for the Chart plotter.
I would love to find one that explains, in detail, what the different settings can do as well as what the heck I am looking at. I know sometimes West Marine will have classes but have not been able to get to one yet.

Honestly, The very best thing you can do is reach out for people here and ask them to lend you a hand at understanding things better.

That, together with reading (and re-reading) the manual is the very best way to learn.

I asked about that very thing (sonar) a couple weeks ago and came up with nothing. Well, one response said someone else would probably respond but he didn't.

The manual tells how to set it up and adjust it, but not how to interpret the screen.

Ron and Aboatime, here is a link to Dave's Dock Lines on the Garmin site. It's very basic info on the Sounder and if you go to You Tube he has a part 2 also.

Just play with it. Sink some balloons and drive over them to see what it looks like.
