NOt really a better bottom picture. It provides more pulse power "ON" time, and combines with a swept frequency so it has the capability of better target resolution and discrimination. So, better as a structure and fishfinder. The actual bottom you don't need CHIRP to see well. If you want to find a minnow near a branch, then it makes that possible, sometimes.

Many finders now have side view/forward view, etc too, which is not exactly related to chirp.
