Not at this time.

Not at this time.

ACTUALLY ...

Yes it does, just NOT AutoChart Live.

You would have to collect sonar recordings on SD Card and convert them on your PC using AutoChart or AutoChart Pro for PC.

Once converted that can be written to the Zero Lines Card and the mapping you created from the sonar recordings become your own map.

If you do not have Auto Chart for your PC at this time you should still record your trips every time you are on your favorite lakes so when you do get the Auto Chart software you can use this info to make your maps. I had recordings for one summer before I purchased the Auto Chart software program. That winter I played with the program and info that I had recorded and when Spring came around I had some maps and was ready to go.

If you do not mind sharing your data, you can use your recordings with Navionics Sonar Charts to get HD contour mapping.
Do not need any computer software, Navionics processes the data FREE. Just need a Navionics map card to download the processed data to.

Phil, do you have AC or AC Pro? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the software.

I have AC Pro. I started out with Dr Depth. When Auto Chart came out,I converted every thing over to Auto Chart. Since I now have maps for the few lakes that I fish I basically now use Auto Chart Live on my Onix. As I mentioned before, Start saving all of your recordings so when you get Auto Chart you can play with the program and have your maps ready to go. I don't remember all of the differences between Auto Chart and Auto Chart Pro but check out the specs and determine which program is better for you.
I really like Auto Chart and I still play around with it when not on the boat. It does take some time to learn how to use it and there is a lot of info on this site and others pertaining to how to use it. Once you get to using it you will wounder why you didn't get it sooner.
