Furuno GP 1870F Speed and Temp issue

[julius1]

Hello all, I recently upgraded from my Furuno 582L to the Furuno GP1870 F. I had used my 582L for many years and it served me well and was very user-friendly. I decided to upgrade seeing that there was a screen out there that was easier to view and also for newer technology and software. I purchased the Furuno GP 1870F being very confident it would address all my wants and needs. On my first trip out right off the bat I realized this little thing was a powerhouse. I also realize it will take me some time to fully understand all the capabilities of this unit. So for my first post on this forum the very first thing I need help with is the speed and temperature readings while under the fishfinder screen. Can someone help me in finding out what I need to do to get my speed and temperature reading to show while I'm in fishfinder mode? When I had my 582L I never had this problem. These 2 readings automatically displayed on screen. Also I chose to stick with my 525 STID transducer understanding that it was compatible with my new unit. At this point I don't know if it's something I need to configure with my new unit or if I need to switch to another transducer which will display the speed and temperature readings while under fishfinder mode. I am a commercial salmon fishermen and it's very important to me to know how fast I'm going and how cold the water is. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
