    Overlay Options will not show up in Humminbird Chart Settings

    I have a Helix 10 Mega+ SI Gen 3 linked to a Helix 10 Gen 3 CHIRP.

    Up until recently overlay options was displayed under Humminbird Chart.

    The function is now gone and I need it to toggle on an aerial overlay.

    Tried resetting defaults, any other ideas?

    Did you turn off Overlay?

    In the Setup menu with User Mode=Custom, Digital Readouts has three choices:
    Boxes
    Overlay
    Off

    Don't have a clue.

    I have three third generation Helix units--- 7, 10, and 12. All of them have the overlay readouts regardless of the background mapping on the Chart View.

    My units are constantly “loosing” features. I’ll be calling Humminbird again tomorrow.

    Do you have to have a map card inserted to get an aerial overlay? If so, could your card be corrupted?

    I've tried 3 or 4 map cards, so unfortunately I doubt that is the issue.

    I called Humminbird this morning and they told me to try my unit on Simulator mode to see if the features show up.

    Failing that they want me to update from 1.940 to the current software, which I don't want to do as I dont believe the 360 image I will get will be the same quality but I will do it regardless.

    If you are having problems with multiple units .... You really have to make sure your power is good. Set one of the readouts to display voltage and make sure it never gets below 12V. Ideally it should be higher than that.

    I misunderstood what you are looking for. I was thinking readouts and you are wanting the Chart Menu options for Chart Select map layers or Lakemaster map card overlay.

    You get variable choices only when using Chart Select downloaded individual maps that you have purchased contour mapping along with additional layers of satellite overlays.
    You only get aerial overlay with a Lakemaster map card IF you have the Plus version.

    Exactly what map source are you using?

    Helix 10 G3N with default settings.

    This is a Chart Select single map on a regular memory card that was Encrypted:



    In the HB Chart menu, this is the layer choices for Map Overlay:



    This is the choices for Base Map:

    I thought I might have mislead you before....

    I am using a standard encrypted SD Card with maps downloaded from Chart select.

    I have several map cards that have just the HD Contours which I have downloaded for $29.99 that give me great mapping but no aerial overlay. Using these maps previous I had the " Overlay Options" and would toggle on "2D Map" just as you show.

    I just recently downloads the full HD Contours and Aerial Overlay layers package for Lake Cumberland on an encrypted SD and for whatever reason I have "lost the "Overlay Options" and "Base Layer" functions.... Its as if I do not have a Lakemaster card inserted....

    I can however get the 2D Lakemaster to show up by Selecting Lake List below Water Level Offset and toggling that on....

    I've tried my old cards and still cannot get these functions I've always had to show up.

    In the screenshot you provide above I see AutoChart, then Contour Lines is the next line below it

    The third screen shot is the menu items I get with a multi-layer Chart Select map in the HB Chart tab with Base Layer selected.
    The 2014 satellite image chosen as the Base Layer--that was Default as I did not select it.

    The second screen shot is the same HB Chart tab with Overlay Options selected, just displays different to show the choices for Overlay.
    In that case 2D Map is the Default selection.

    Just put another Chart Select card in for a different lake and when I select the HB Chart tab, I don't get the first two menu items listed as above.
    This card has 6 years of satellite overlays.

    Correction: post #16 is incorrect, this unit does the same as the other. I have three units going and got mixed up with menu choices.

    I have another Chart Select download of the same lake I was looking at in post #16 that only has the Contour map and no extra layers.
    When I go to the HB Chart tab, I don't get Overlay Options or Base Layer listed.

    Interesting.

    Maybe I should wipe the card and re-download.
    regardless my other cards that previously allowed these options to show up no longer do.

    I’ve got a few more things to try now

    I got the overlay to work. I re-downloaded the aerial overlay and it still wasn’t working. Reset defaults again and I got the overlay options back.

    Thanks for the help.

    Cant say I’m in love with the overlay itself. There is a beige line around the perimeter of the lake which makes the overlay of what might be along the shoreline useless... I’m using the 2016 overlay
