OK guys, i need some help here. I have some tracks seem to display intermittently upon processing. below screenshots are an example. these tracks were recorded by a friend of mine and i have reviewed the entire log and the tracks look good to me. for some strange reason they are intermittently displaying depth info.

I have tried the following:
-reviewed the entire log for integrity.
-checked all settings for logs.(i did find some discrepancies with cone angle and keel offset and corrected)
-deleting log then re importing.
-added to project and reprocessed.
-tried different tide stations and reprocessed.

this issue is happening with multiple projects so i am at a loss here. please send me your questions and suggestions.

This is an interpolation issue. ReefMaster does not extrapolate from individual data points, it only interpolates between them (this is a difference between RM and IG and DD, and we are planning on adding support for this in the future).
You are seeing what you are seeing because the max interpolation is set too low, and RM can't make joins between your data points, apart from along the line of the track - so you are getting the very thin "map" in your picture. If your tracks are spaced further apart than the maximum RM interpolation setting (250m) then you will need to collect more data. If not, then try increasing that value (in the project settings) and see what happens. Shorelines will help as well, because they can provide a depth value (typically zero) which data points can connect to and interpolate between.

More discussion and some images demonstrating the issue on this thread.

Thanks for getting me going in the right direction matt.

the area i fish and map is really big and shallow. we are just getting going on the mapping of this area.
