Since the graph only moves left, is there any way to know where a fish came from and is going when anchored? Front to back, back to front, left to right, etc.? It be nice to know what direction to cast under this condition, maybe all fish finders are like this, I've only owned the striker 4. Thank you

The fish icon feature is not perfect by any means, but it can be a big help for beginners who do not yet know how to read their sonar screens. As far as where the fish are, once you start to see the arch on the very right of the screen...or A-Scope....that means the fish is somewhere in the transducer cone...once you see the full arch...it is now outside the cone.
