Can you set depth offset on the nav plat+ card on a helix 12 ?
JD, what device do you use? I can't see it in direct sunlight with any of mine. The additional features sound great but I need to have a brighter display to use them on the water. Bob
Is water offset a feature with any of the other units ray or low?
Do you mean Shaded Depth? I used to use Water Offset when I had a keel sailboat. It was very important there.
For Keel clearance, you use the Depth Offset by changing the Depth Readout to read deeper than the keel. You won't have water depth displayed, just safety depth for keel clearance for a sailboat.
I use Depth Offset to add the distance my transducer is submerged so the depth readout is the actual water depth rather than the distance between the transducer and bottom. I want that so my created map contours are accurate.
Shaded Depth is highlighting a depth level on the Chart View.
With the mobile app, there is a water level offset you can adjust to change the contour mapping to match water level changes due to drought and winter drawdowns.
Lakemaster mapping with Humminbirds has that feature.
In both cases when you do a - water level offset for a lower water level, the new shoreline will be the 0 depth. The whole map is re-adjusted to the new water level. There is a + water level offset also for water levels higher than when the map survey was done.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
Hey all,
With all the excitement around the addition to Fishing Ranges in Navionics MobileApp, here’s a quick video highlighting it uses.
what have I got--what have i found???I have several hb units on 3 boats. I have navionics sd/Premium E-5 and a MSD/HM - E. and am satisfied with them. I found a used Navionics + east region . Can anyone tell me if this card differs from the first 2 mentioned????? Or tell me where to find an answer?? I live in east TN
Yes it is different. It has the extra Sonar Charts map layer than none of the Premium versions had. Same coverage area though.
It is updateable with an active Freshest Data subscription that is renewable. You can have today's map today with an update.

RECENTLY purchased Humminbirds' LAKEMASTER/LOUISIANA DELTA (Version 1.0). The newest imagery is mostly red in color. Somewhere I read that by adjusting the "TRANSPARENCY" on the Humminbird unit---one can see imagery of older bays, canals, waterways. etc.... Does anyone have any input relative to this card??? Please forward any/all info...thanking you in advance---John Castelluccio, Jr. Southeast Louisiana!

So what is the secret to getting the satellite view to show up on my Helix 10 & Hotmaps Platinum card??? I cannot for the life of me figure it out.........
Go to the Main Menu Platinum tab and turn on Chart Aerial Overlay Land.
Then you have to have the chart card slot selected, but not FishNChip.
Then you can chose the transparency in the Chart View short-cut menu. 0 transparency is the brightest, and 100 % is no overlay.
Only HD waters have the satellite overlay. I have seen several from Michigan ask the same question when they don't get the overlay due to not being HD where they are looking.

Thank you!
I think the 0 transparency was the missing link!
I know there are some HD lakes up north, I will try that tonight!
wondering if this is compatible with Helix units. Navico Nav+ US&Canada MSD/NEB - 3/T19
