Sweet feature! Trying to web search to figure out what is considered good signal strength and what is considered good accuracy. Haven't found anything yet, going to keep searching. My unit says 20.3ft for accuracy. I'm guessing that means + or - 20.3ft?

You have an in depth knowledge of the subject, great presentation, you connect with students (us) and want/help us to be successful, you communicate effectively and make it easy to understand what we are learning and now I/we want to learn more. I thought the videos were by Garmin and was surprised to find these are your videos. I appreciate all you do! Garmin needs to pay attention to you. You should get compensated as you are a great instructor and making a huge impact on a topic many find intimidating. Thank you!

I want to point out that, my striker 4 was in demo mode and wasn't giving me an actual signal from the sonar. Me knowing nothing about fish finders couldn't understand that even when I put in traditional mode, it just kept giving me demo mode. After 5 trips to the lake and it never would worked, I was ready to trash the whole idea of having a fish finder. I figured I am either stupid or there is something wrong with it. I have watched your videos and still no luck following your steps. I just figured out last night that the unit is in demo mode and needs to be turned off. Cant believe that Garmin didn't tell you that in the instructions. I never heard you ever mention that. I did reset it per your instructions but it would still never work. You might want to mention that in your videos. Demo mode needs to be turned off.

Question: I’m trying to figure out how to change the scale on the waypoint map while in split screen. I’ve got the split screen (with the traditional fish finder and waypoint map split on one screen). When trolling in a small area I’d like to zoom in closer than what my map is currently at. I have the track on and would like to see where I’ve already traveled. The only way I’ve been able zoom is to use the add a waypoint button and then zoom in using the toggles while in the add a waypoint menu…BUT once back into the split screen it zooms back out to the scale where everything is so close to the boat icon, I cannot see the track. Thank you for your videos. I’ve learned a lot about this great little unit.

Hello, I've never owned a fish finder, yet. But looking at the Garmin Striker 4, for my kayak or canoes. What initially confuses me is nothing is mentioned about powering such a device in the Garmin literature. Now adays when most portable device are all rechargeable (USB) one might assume its so with a fish finder like this one. But all the literature side steps any mention of the need to have an external battery, nor is there any mention made of simple ways to connect it to a lithium battery like say a 12v -18v drill battery. I contact Garmin chat and one of the reps said some folks use their drill batteries. Do you have any videos on how to power it for small water craft (kayak/canoe) that don't have a battery on board? Thank you, Steve

Can the alarm volume be increased? I can't find an option for that. It's way too quiet and really rely on that feature for anchoring and depth.

@1Cast1Fish That is unfortunate. I called Garmin also. They are aware that this is a problem for some users and may address the issue in future iterations of their product. In the meantime, I'll deal with it and enjoy the other features. Thanks for responding.

How do I adjust my depth speed because when I speed up it lock on that speed was at and start flashing .So I have to stop and Hundredgo back to 5 to 10 mile an hour

Sounds to me like the transducer mounting location is causing the transducer to lose contact. This is pretty common in faster boats depending on the mounting location. Any unclean water can cause this as the water is aerated and messes with the soundwaves. This is why many bass boat types or faster boats run an additional in hull transducer for at speed info. I lose my main transducer at about 35-40 mph if I did not have an additional in hull transducer. Now I could be totally off if this is a new issue that showed up recently on a old install, so more info may be needed to fully help.

The display screen on my Garmin Striker 4 only stays on for about 10 minutes. Is there something in settings that I should be increasing to get longer screen time? Thank You.

Sounds power related IMO...I do not recall a setting to turn the screen off. I would try a factory reset on the unit and check all your power supply's and cables.

I hate to be the one that asks this and its probably a stupid question. I recently acquired this graph on a oldtown sportsman I bought. Does the graph show water temp? I have the generic graph running all time and it doesn't show water temp. is that something I can add? and if so can you point me in the right direction to making that happen? thanks - Andrew

No in order to get those type of advanced features you would need a fish finder that accepts a mapping card, then purchase the cards.

Is the depth flashing, or is it just not visible? Assuming it is just not visible, go to the menu and go to overlays, you can turn a variety of features on and off from the screen here.

if it shows something on the screen, it likely is not getting a depth reading. Check all the connections and pins, ensure proper transducer is selected. Check to see if any damage to the transducer.

Just got a Striker Plus 4, I'm trying to figure out how to save my manual Range, Gain and Frequency manual settings for ice fishing. I get it all set the way I want it then when I shutoff the unit and restart it they all go back to Auto Range, Auto Gain, etc. I then have to go back in and change back to my manual settings. Is there a way to save these setting when powered off?
@1Cast1Fish

Sorry for the delay, but I had to tinker with my units to see what may be going on...and shockingly I found the same thing, I guess the range and gain revert to AUTO settings when powered off. I tried to figure out a work around, but no luck. Learned something new myself from this.

@@1Cast1Fish After talking to Gamin I found out that the Striker defaults to factory auto settings on the range and gain so when it's installed on a boat, the striker helps keep the boat from running aground I guess. I did find out by chance while ice fishing that if the bottom lock is turned on in the zoom options the range stays as set but it is called something different.
