Integration with Bathymetric Software

SonarView supports the following file formats for export:

  • CSV Point Cloud

    • The simplest and most universal export format, containing the spatial positions of the detected points in the SonarView log.

  • SVLOG (native SonarView format)

    • The ability to export SVLOG is helpful for trimming log files down, or separating them into parts.

SonarView's CSV exports can be imported and processed in Reefmaster, a low-cost entry-level sonar mapping software. A chart can be generated in as little as 5 steps! Charts generated in Reefmaster can be exported as KML and shared via Google Maps.

Steps:

  1. Import CSV (after exporting from SonarView)

  2. Define the desired map area

  3. Choose desired level of detail and smoothness of map

  4. Click "Generate Map"

  5. Export (optional): Click "Export Map Project', choose desired format from the list
