The Smart Strike card only has the HD locations for each region.

I have two gen 1 units helix 9 bow, helix 10 SI console all linked together with an untrex through the network hub. I have a two questions:
1 - I understand I need two map cards. I settled in on the lakemaster for the great lakes region I mainly fish MI, Lake st. clair and eerie. My quesiton is, does the great lakes smart strike card V2 include everything on the lakemaster great lakes V3 card . It is very confusing as to what the differences in the chips are.
2- has to do with autocharting. I get 8 hours built into the units. Then do I need a zero line card to store additional hours recorded? Do I just need the card, or the software as well. does the AC data overlay on either the smartstrike and/or lakemaster cars?
3- has anyone tried the AC software on a mac - running it through bootcamp? it appears there is no mac version or support.
your help on this is greatly appreciated.

Partial answer for #2. If you purchase only the Zero Lines Card, it will move your saved Autochart maps to the card and give you SIGNIFICANTLY more recording time. Software is not "required". Many on here use and AC software package for backing up ZLC and for viewing maps on a computer.

Question about LakeMaster depth offset. Table Rock is roughly 9ft low as well as Bull Shoals. I just got a LakeMaster a few weeks ago, went to TR and set the offset to 9ft it was spot on. Last weekend I went to BS for the first time with offset at 9ft and it was off so I kept increasing it and 19ft offset made it spot on. Why is that?
It all depends on what the level was when they mapped it.

Yup. Find a contour by the ramp when you launch and set it each time out.
Am I correct in assuming that it's useless to use the Lakemaster card when mapping a river that has no data lines from the lake MasterCard correct. I will be mapping with a.c. live in my helix 9 silverado gps

Doug's You Tube channel and all the knowledge found here has inspired me to pull the trigger and strap a new 2017 Terrova with I Pilot Link on the bow. The new Helix 9 Mega SI GPS is on the UPS Truck!!! Now it's time to select the best Lake Master card for WI. Any body have a suggestion on what will be the best bang for my buck? My current Lake Master card does say I Pilot on it but it's a few years old. Lake Master plus is my first thought. Looking for some fresh incite on the newest cards available with my new gear.
Penny for our thoughts guy's !
Dan, My opinion on the satellite images are they are not of much practical use. There are probably some legitimate uses on some waters and $25 in not a big difference anyway. As far as newer map chips you will have to research to see how many of the lakes you use have been Lakemaster surveyed since your chip was released. Check out the Chart select option if you only have a lake or 2 that have been updated. Bob
Dan, I am using SmartStrike WI v2.0, which has the same maps as Lakemaster WI v6.0. I had an older WI, v4 or 5 and was very unhappy with it. There were glaring errors, even on lakes as popular as Okauchee. The v6, and Smartstrike v2 chips are greatly improved!!! Navionics is good, but won't help you with iPilot features. Make sure you get a newer LM chip for WI. Lake lists are available on the Humminbird website

bobcoy, I have to agree, after taking a hard look at the waters I fish the satellite view may not really help me catch fish.
Jimmybass, My Lake Master card is WI V4 so upgrading to V6 is in the plan. Do you think the Smart Strike is worth the extra cash? Hope it doesn’t just make for boat traffic in time.
Helix 9 Mega SI will be here Tuesday!! Can’t wait!!!

Is there a way to disable lakemaster showing the pink creek channels lines and red road bed lines? Or at least change the colors on a Helix 9 SI Mega?

Very dissatisfied with my Brand new LakeMasters East V2. while Whie Lake George NY isn't HD i needed a second card for my new HB bow unit. Screen shots are of Bassin Bay and east of Dome Island vs my Navionics Premier V6 that is several years old. There are many hazards not even on the lakemsters, its going back tomorrow
