depth readings. fresh vs saltwater

[fieromx3]

kinda curious... with fishfinders/depth sounders i always read and hear that a depth sounder will not read as deep in salt water as it will in fresh water. how is the accuracy for both?

will it read just accuratly in salt as it does fresh? just that it wont read as deep??

On the Humminbird there is a setting in the menu for which type of water your in.

There is, the HDS units have settings for what type of fishing you do as well. slow trolling, fast trolling etc.
