    I can still see depth ranges at a glance and it is easy to follow contours but am not distracted by all the shading. Just me being weird.

    I like it. I've been coloring the entire range, and been less than pleased with it - gonna give your method a go!

    That's cool. I will have to try that, because I do not like the full shading of the entire range either. Didn't even know you could do that. Learn something new here every day.

    Just a couple additional comments:

    I replaced a Gen3 Lowrance with the 93SV and already had the NMEA network. All the devices on the NMEA network ( Point-1 compass and Mercury engine interface) came up and worked on initial power up.
    I was not happy with the sidescan until I read on this forum to change it to 455 Mhertz frequency. I’m ok with it now. I have the GT54 transducer but I hear the GT56 has better definition and longer range.
