    In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens th-cam.com/users/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

    When i draw a map of the lake, can i next time view this map while driving, so showing my location / navigating on that excisting map, without redraw / keep plotting continiously?

      It will store your plotted maps then will continue to update as you scan.

    This is a great video and good information. I just got my striker 4 plus and when I have it on traditional. I see the colored lines horizontal and I don’t see hills and valleys like you have. So I only see the moving screen, kinda like the heart rate on screen. Not pointy hills and valleys. Not sure if I need to fix something

    Thank you! This was very helpful, as I'm a first-time sonar owner having recently purchased this model. I did also want to comment that the downscan works very well for me at slow speeds. "Slow" as in: 6hp at idle speed. I get very decent detail of the bottom and structure.

    • @MaineManBassing
      @MaineManBassing  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, downscan will show you the contours. I was talking about fish. When the boat isnt moving, fish will appear as bright yellow and orange trails on the sonar, but there maynot be anything showing up on the downscan.

      @@MaineManBassing It's actually comical and entertaining with my slow motor. If the fish are swimming fast enough in the direction of my boat, they appear as monsters on downscan. Ha!

    I cannot for the life of me locate an option to change the clearvu frequency from 455 to 800 like it shows on the image on the box od the striker plus 4cv!!?? When i choose the clear vu screen then menu key frequency does not appear. Can you help me find where to change this? It does not show these cv frequency options on the 2d choices either.

    Haha. "Gain is basically colour contrast".
    No it's not colour contrast. Gain is the strength of your signal. You reduce the gain to reduce interference noise and stuff you don't need to see like crap floating through the water.
    If you don't set it right, you'll be thinking you're looking at fish when you're just looking at interference or weed floating in the water.
