EdgeTech JSF format, as stored in *.jsf files, can store bathymetry and side scan data.
Edgetech JSF conversion reads navigation from the sonar positions records (3004) as the primary navigation. If they are found, they will be written out as ship navigation. If no sonar position records are found, NMEA records (2002) are written out as ship navigation. If no NMEA records are found, the position data in sonar data records (80) are written out as ship navigation.
