Abstract
Methods and sonar system for displaying a nautical chart and for adjusting depth indicators on the chart based on a calculated offset between the actual water level and the standard water level on which the chart is based. The offset is based on sonar soundings compared to depths indicated by the chart. The sonar system's processor automatically adjusts the chart's depth indicators to reflect the offset.
