This unit should have the "Quickdraw Contours" function ... go into the map function then open the menu (3 lines button) and there should be a "start recording" option, this will start the creating contour maps. I have the striker plus 4, thinking of upgrading, and thats how I create contour maps of my lakes. If it doesn't look like its creating a map, maybe try zooming in. The square you had on the screen makes me think you are WAY too zoomed out.
"HELP" !! I'm newly retired from 33yr carpentry career. I found my Ambassador 5000 (5601) real and purchased a couple more new low profile reals & rods. I haven't fished in 35yrs so I've never kept up w/ the tech. I've been researching a bit and have a chance to acquire one of these Garmin 7sv finders. Question : You mentioned setting up wifi ? I have a cell but no "hotspot" w/it. What exactly do you mean by "setting up wifi" ? and/or "Captain's app" ? Thank you for your generous consideration, Sincerely ............................ Steph
Hey Mac! No. This unit connects to your cell phone by Captains App. I think I have a video up for that. You can download maps and other data via the app on your phone and then connect it by wifi while out on the water.
So from what I saw in this video, it isn't showing anything more than your average fish finder. I was hoping for the higher price you would get some kind of mapping and side view. Not a good review for this product! Maybe you should have waited until you used for a month or two before giving the review
I made a playlist of 9 videos detailing the product. Mapping and side view are explained and demo'd in detail. Maybe you should watch them all before assuming I didn't cover something that you are specifically looking for - ruclips.net/video/8gmi2qJTLtU/видео.html
Thank You for the video you made it easy for me to make a choice 👍🏾
Happy to help!

Can’t wait to pick one up thanks
Yeah I need one of those!
Well done. Thanks for the info!
Sv vs plus would make a difference for those wanting to see which is best for them to get
Could you do more of a close up of the screen?
Go go gadget man!
can you scroll around the screen and mark waypoints while using sidevu?
Yes you can

Great video , was wondering if you can go over your settings.?

Great! Does this support an sd card?

Soooo.. is it the plus or just SV?
The SV I believe the plus is now discontinued, at least in my area all websites have discontinued that one

Hello
Hope you caught something.
Nothing. Skunked twice in this spot. Was primarily striper fishing and the big school just wasn’t there today.
