shrug-l: Humminbird sidescan and gps files

[Bokey, Aparna]

Hi everyone,
We recently purchased a Humminbird unit with sidescan, depth sounder, and gps
capabilities to use to map live bottom reefs in the Big Bend of Florida. All
of the data can be recorded on to sd cards and then downloaded on to a pc.
However, I'm having trouble incorporating the data into ArcMap, even after
changing some of the file formats. Do any of you have experience with this
system or other sidescan datasets? If so have you had luck importing it into
ArcMap? I've found a couple programs that can be used to view the images with
geospatial data but I'd like to be able to view the images as they occur
along the gps tracks. Any insight would be helpful. 
Thanks!
Kelly
