Data Fields
Data elds display multiple types of information in one area, such as depth,
heading, and bearing. Some data elds require you to be navigating or
require a connection to sensors to display data. For example, a temperature
sensor must be connected to the chartplotter to display the temperature data
eld.
The data elds on a page depend on the type of data associated with that
page. For example, a sonar page automatically displays sonar-related
information such as Depth.
You can congure the data elds that display on a page The different data will

10 GPSMAP® 585 Plus
Traditional 50/77/200 kHz Sonar
Fishnder uses ultrasonic signals to detect the bottom of the ocean.
Traditional 50/77/200 kHz sonar sends only one frequency at a time.
Since the only feedback is from this one single frequency, there is limited
information to work with, restricting the clarity and resolution. Lower
frequencies with wider sonar beam angle would result in a broader and
deeper detectable area. Conversely, higher frequencies with narrower beam
angle would result in higher resolution images with better target separation.
CHIRP Sonar
CHIRP sonar is one of the most sophisticated sonar technologies available
for the shing and boating public. The word is an acronym for Compressed
High-Intensity Radiated Pulse (C-H-I-R-P). CHIRP sonar provides amazingly
clear target separation and denition because it puts more energy onto the
target than traditional sonars.
Instead of sending just one single frequency, CHIRP sonar sends a
continuous sweep of frequencies ranging from low to high. Garmin CHIRP
sonar technology then interprets each frequency individually upon its return.
This provides much more information, from which CHIRP sonar is able
to construct a much clearer, higher resolution image with greater target
separation and crisper sh arches.
For example, 80-160 kHz sonar sweeps through the entire range from 80 kHz
all the way up to 160 kHz, hitting every single frequency in between.
ClearVü Scanning Sonar
The Garmin ClearVü scanning sonar technology takes one step further by
emitting two narrow beams with CHIRP technology, similar to the shape of the
beam in a copying machine.
This Garmin high-frequency scanning sonar (260/455/800 kHz) provides a
much clearer, picture-like image of what lies under the water by producing a
more detailed representation of objects, structures and sh under your boat.

GPSMAP®585 Plus 11
Split-Screen Frequency
You can view two frequencies from the split frequency screen. This screen is
useful for the same target comparison between two different frequencies.
Shift-Zoom View
On the sonar screen, you can see a full-view graph of sonar readings on the
right side of the screen, and a magnied portion of that graph on the left side
of the screen.
Shift allows you to set the depth range on which the sonar is focused. This
allows you to zoom in a higher resolution in the focused depth.
When using shift, bottom tracking may not work effectively, because the sonar
looks for data within the depth range of the focused area, which may not
include the bottom. Using shift also can impact the scroll speed, because data
outside the depth range of the focused area is not processed, which reduces
the time required to receive and display the data. You can zoom in to the
focused area, which enables you to evaluate target returns more closely at a
higher resolution than just zooming alone.
1Zoomed depth scale
2Depth range

12 GPSMAP® 585 Plus
Adjusting the Zoom
You can adjust the zoom manually by specifying the span and a xed starting
depth. For example, when the depth is 15 m and the starting depth is 5 m, the
device displays a magnied area from 5 to 20 m deep.
You also can allow the device to adjust the zoom automatically by specifying
a span. The device calculates the zoom area from the bottom of the water.
For example, if you select a span of 10 m, the device displays a magnied
area from the bottom of the water to 10 m above the bottom.
1 From a sonar screen, select RANGE/ZOOM.
2 Select an option:
• Select No Zoom to not use the zoom feature.
• Select Bottom Lock to lock the screen to the water bottom.
• Select Manual or Digital Zoom to manually set the zoom.
• Select Shift Zoom to manually adjust the zoom.
• Select Auto to automatically set the zoom.
Bottom Lock
You can lock the screen to the water bottom. For example, if you select a
span of 20 meters, the device shows an area from the water bottom to 20
meters above the bottom. It is useful for detecting sh close to the bottom.
The span appears on the right side.
1 From a sonar view, select MENU > ZOOM > Bottom Lock.
2 Select and to adjust the depth range above the bottom.
