Viewing Fishing Information
The weather Fishing chart shows present water temperature, present surface pressure conditions, and shing
forecasts.
From the Home screen, select  > .
Surface Pressure and Water Temperature Data
Surface-pressure information appears as pressure isobars and pressure centers. Isobars
connect points of
equal pressure. Pressure readings can help to determine weather and wind conditions. High-pressure areas are
generally associated with fair weather. Low-pressure areas are generally associated with clouds and the chance
of precipitation. Isobars packed closely together show a strong pressure gradient. Strong pressure gradients are
associated with areas of stronger winds.
Pressure units are shown in millibars (mb), inches of Mercury (inHg), or hectopascals (hPa).
Colored shading, as dened by the legend
in the upper-left corner of the display, indicates the surface temperature
of the water.
