Example devices, systems and methods are provided for causing presentation of a timer on a screen of a marine electronic device for a watercraft. Some example systems include a user interface comprising the screen, a memory including computer executable instructions and a processor. The marine electronic device is configured to receive a user input defining one or more users and a total amount of time for a marine-based activity and determine a specified amount of time to be assigned to each of the one or more users. The marine electronic device is further configured to assign the specified amount of time to each of the one or more users, display an indication of the specified amount of time within the timer for each of the one or more users, and provide a notification when the specified amount of time of a current user from the one or more users ends.

Custom timer for marine based activity

A method for monitoring a fishing lure coupled to a marine vessel via a line. The method includes receiving a position with respect to the marine vessel in which the fishing lure is coupled to the marine vessel via the line. The method further includes receiving a line length of the line extending between the marine vessel and the fishing lure when the fishing lure is in use outside the marine vessel. The method further includes generating a graphic display on a display device, wherein the graphic display depicts the position of the line coupling the fishing lure to the marine vessel, and wherein the graphic display indicates the line length extending between the marine vessel and the fishing lure.

Systems and methods for determining a location of an object within a sonar beam zone are detailed herein. A system for presenting marine data includes at least one sonar transducer associated with a watercraft, a display, processor(s), and a memory including a computer program code. The sonar transducer emits sonar beams into an underwater environment defining a beam shape. The program code, when executed, causes, on the display, presentation of a chart and a representation of the watercraft; and determines, based on the beam shape corresponding to the sonar transducer, a sonar beam zone corresponding to a sonar coverage of the underwater environment of the body of water. The program code further receives sonar return data and determines a position of an object within the sonar beam zone, and causes, on the display, presentation of the sonar beam zone and an indication of the object within the sonar beam zone.

Systems and methods for providing a sonar beam footprint are detailed herein. A system for presenting marine data includes at least one sonar transducer associated with a watercraft, a display, processor(s), and memory including computer program code. The sonar transducer emits sonar beams into an underwater environment that define a beam shape. The program code, when executed, causes, on the display, presentation of a chart and a representation of the watercraft; determines a depth corresponding to a bottom surface of a body of water at a current location of the watercraft; and determines, based on the depth and the beam shape, a sonar beam footprint corresponding to a projection of the beam shape at the depth. The program code further causes, on the display, presentation of the sonar beam footprint on the chart so as to visually indicate sonar beam coverage.

Sonar beam footprint presentation

A system is provided for updating user interfaces of marine electronic devices. The system includes determining available devices and receiving user input to determine information such as fishing location, fishing style, fish type, and fishing depth. The system also includes determining a plurality of screen setups to present to a user based on the received user input and the determined available devices. The system then enables selection from among the plurality of screen setups by the user and causes the marine electronic device to operate according to the selected screen setup. The system may optimize settings based on the user input. Further, a system is provided for connecting an unconnected device to a marine electronic device. A system is also provided for communicating information about an unconnected device on a watercraft to a user.

Systems and methods for updating user interfaces of marine electronic devices with activity-based optimized settings

A marine electronics system is provided including a transducer assembly configured to receive active sonar returns during a first time period and receive passive sonar data during a second time period. The system also includes a marine electronics device including a user interface comprising a display, a processor, and a memory including computer program code configured to cause the marine electronics device to receive the passive sonar data from the transducer element, generate a noise level indicator based on the passive sonar data, and cause the noise level indicator to be displayed on the user interface. The noise level indicator includes an indication of an ambient noise level associated with the vessel.
