The memory including computer program code configured to cause presentation of a chart on the display including at least a portion of the body of water, at a first zoom level. The system further causes emission of one or more sonar beams by the at least one sonar transducer and receives sonar data corresponding to the sonar returns received by the at least one sonar transducer. The system generates and presents a sonar image based on a sonar image scale. The system automatically adjusts the presentation of the chart to a second zoom level that corresponds to the sonar image scale. The second zoom level being different than the first zoom level.
