[@asianseaanimals]

Thanks for App

[@jeremyfrady6531]

Yeah I have the Garmin Striker Vivid 9 series and I was wanting to know the best settings for all of it even the side view also thanks

[@DoubleTFishing]

Hi Jeremy, I left a long response on another video you commented on. Don’t forget to level up your transducer it helps. Are you using a GT52 HW-TM?

[@repete840]

Very good educational video. I noticed theres no detailed contour lines that show drop offs?

[@DoubleTFishing]

Thanks, I probably wasn’t panned in close enough, have a great new year!!

[@walterdowns9012]

I am in an area with quite a few smaller lakes that are not mapped out on my Garmin do you have a video on how to do this and can you use the side-view to map out a wider swath?

[@DoubleTFishing]

You bet, but the QuickDraw maps run independently from your sonar so it doesn’t matter which sonar type is used while your recording a map, it does it’s own thing. Video is below kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmHEqmCIepqKeqs

[@truckerdonsworkshop6408]

Hi just got a echomap 64cv is there a way to display longitude and latitude on the screen while underway.Thanks

[@DoubleTFishing]

Play around with the overlays in your chart menus. Have a great day!

[@ralphcarrasco2949]

I'm regreating buying a Garmin GPS WITH ACTIVE captain to much set up! You have to be A silicon Valley tect to get it to work. I bought a $300 dollar chart and my old NavNet shows more fish sounding and I didn't have to do all this programing to go fish.

[@DoubleTFishing]

Understand, it can be frustrating. If you have a local boat dealer in the area they might be willing to help you set it up.

[@jrock11114]

What happens if you leave sonar on by accident?

[@DoubleTFishing]

Nothing will be hurt for a half hour in moderate temperatures under 90 deg F in my experience, we all do it from time to time but I’ve heard of people damaging their transducers leaving them on for extended periods of time. Nobody I know has hurt a transducer but always best to turn it off or disable sonar when it’s out of the water

[@jaysongrimes9032]

How can I put active capt on my screen while trying to make a vid??

[@DoubleTFishing]

You have to “cast” your phone onto your computer then use a screen record app or just record your phone screen. If it’s an iPhone just touch the upper right corner and swipe down diagonally and on the left will be a record button. It will save to your photos. Have a great day!!

[@kevinokeefe7796]

Is this app available on the striker series

[@DoubleTFishing]

Yes, the active captain app is how you register and download software upgrades. It doesn’t use a removable SD card so all updates are done through the app

[@walterdowns9012]

I still don't really understand that active captain
