RM instructions emphasize including the water temperature for each track. Our sonar (Lowrance Mark 4) and transducer (Lowrance HST-WSBL) has a temperature sensor and I suppose it is in the .sl2 files.
* Is this temperature data in the file used automatically by RM?
* Does RM provide a way to display temperature data so we can enter it manually in the track info?

Thanks

Temperature is really only important for Humminbird files, where it is used as part of the depth calculations (we need the temperature because it affects the speed of sound in water, and is not contained within the sonar log file). For Lowrance log files we do not need to make this calculation.
