Claim 12:
13. The system of claim 1, wherein the sonar beam zone is a first sonar beam zone, and the current location is a first location of the watercraft, wherein the computer program code is further configured to, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
determine, in an instance in which the watercraft has moved to a second location, a second sonar coverage of the underwater environment of the body of water at the second location;
determine, based on the second sonar coverage, an updated sonar beam zone;
determine, based on the sonar return data, a second object within the updated sonar beam zone at a second position;
determine, based on the updated sonar beam zone, an updated sonar beam footprint, wherein the updated sonar beam footprint corresponds to a projection of the updated sonar beam zone on a bottom surface of the body of water;
determine, based on the second position of the second object within the updated sonar beam zone, a location within the updated sonar beam footprint; and
cause, on the display, presentation of the updated sonar beam footprint and an indication of the second object within the updated sonar beam footprint.
