LOL, as usual Wayne is already on it! :thumb up2:

If you are just wanting a map of your pond on your unit and can blanket the pond with your sonar in less than an 8 hour period you can do all this within the unit with Autochart Live. If you later...

That's interesting to know the file extension is different! I'm assuming still that the information I was given, that both are indeed 'Lake Master Maps', is still technically accurate; but it would...

That actually makes some sense in terms of license issues. If one could just read in LM map data and then write it back out to a ZLC one could create multiple copies of a licensed LM product; which...

Again, many things to confirm I think, but, my best understanding (from Wayne and others as well as some personal insight into contour mapping that I had failed to consider until late last night):...

Perhaps, but probably not by much. I think the AC Live produces contour information only, no additional info such as bottom hardness and such (which are only with the Pro version of the software).
...

Great info Tundah, thanks! As mentioned I intend to test all these exact scenarios on dual Helix 10 units in the future and post a detailed review but that may be a while. As to the being able to...

Just a quick follow up for now. After a great deal of education from Wayne, more from James, posts from both of them plus Doug and Bob, et.al.....

This was not as bad as it appeared, to me, and...

I will if no one else knows for sure. But I JUST got my Helix 10 SI from James today and have not broken the seal after finding out just what a farce AC Live is (that's no reflection on James at...

On a unit such as the helix 10, can you at least run AC live, to have immediate results, simulataneously making a sonar recording? I assume if you could and were using a map card from navionics also...

That at least makes slightly more sense but still ridiculous.

Wait a second, so the AC Live data is also specific to a given unit even using a zlc, even if u put it in a virtually identical unit?!? Someone please tell me that's not the case. I think that is...

Another thought, as opposed to my knee-jerk frustration; on my bow Helix 10 unit could I tell it to use the ducer on the stern Helix 10 for AC Live, BUT still use the local TM mounted ducer for 2D,...

Wow, guess I should have done a little more research; basically makes the AC Live virtually useless to me (not everyone, but certainly many others like myself) until I spend yet another $150+.....it...

Well, as James knows the whole nickel and dime routine of having to get ZLC(s) to begin with chaps my a__ to no end. BUT, with that said; if one were satisfied with having the Live data on only one...
