Has anyone ever seen a menu map of Garmin fishfinder's? I have a 93 SV which I'm trying hard to understand but it's very easy to get lost in all the embedded menus.

I own two

I've never seen "menu map", per say.
I find their menu system very intuitive and easy to operate.

What exactly are you looking for?

I’ve got a 93SV. Not sure what you’re asking.

I think the OP is looking for an owners manual that says something like....

To adjust the screen brightness, press button 1, followed by button 2, then button 1 again.

Actually, after much search and even contacting Garmin, I find there is no such thing as a menu map available. I'm sure the tech people at Garmin have such a thing, but they said there was not one available (!?). I've started to create my own, and so far my word processor is up to eight pages. I've only gotten to Home/Settings/... I've gotten through all the settings menus.
I'm just trying to fully understand my unit 😜

Not hard to believe at all......If you need a "menu map" for users to operate the equipment, your HMI design team failed in their job of designing an intuitive interface ;)

The reason I went with Garmin, other than CHIRP performance, was how intuitive the menu systems is.

I've owned multiple Garmin units over the past 20+ years. I can count the number of times I had to refer to the manual to operate the unit on one hand

I concur. Really like my Garmins. That said Garmin should dump the trolling motor end of the business. At first I was impressed, maybe partially trying to justify to myself the cost. I’m on my second season with the Garmin force and problems abound. Worst money I’ve spent in a long time. I would not recommend one. IMO a big fail for Garmin.

have you tried this?
I have the uhd2 echo 53. Like you, I do not find the menu process intuitive at all, but only into second season.
It did help me get into the transponder settings etc..
