FLS 2D

The EchoPilot FLS 2D offers all the best features of the EchoPilot forward sonar range, now displayed on a full color trasflective TFT LCD. The display has a viewable area of 7" (18cm) diagonal.

The benefits of colour, apart from being visually more pleasing, include being able to gain much more information about the nature of the sea bed. Stronger echoes give different colors. Alternatively the colors can be set to correspond to depth. Different fields or types of information are shown in contrasting colours, enabling the navigator to assimilate information much faster. Simple digital sounders show historical data, they may show a depth which is 10 to 15 seconds out of date and represents the seabed your boat passed over a hundred meters ago. The digital depth on the 2D is an average of the first one third of the screen ahead and so is far closer to the reality of what is under your boat right now.
