Lowrance 520 tutorial

Post by Tom Proffitt »

I am looking for information on how to "read" the sonar screen - what do the colors and markings mean. I cannot find a tutorial on this. We have the emulator downloaded but it doesn't seem to have an explanation of the simulator screen. Where can I find articles or tutorials for the sonar screen?
Thanks, Tom

Where did you buy it?
If they are a Lowrance dealer, they should be able to help you out.
Call Lowrance customer svc. or the guys at Fisherman`s Warehouse(if you are near them) are always helpful.
The bottom line is that you will need to spend some time using it to understand it. You have a very high quality unit that will only help you once you learn to use, and beleive in it. Good luck.
