    When I open google earth it is always stuck in 1991 and the lake I want to look at is frozen over. What's up with that?

    Member "little gazoo" from the lowrance boards made me and his buddy a map of a lake here in South Texas, sadly the lake is still down 20+ ft. I'd love to learn this technique, but I know I'm way too stupid to figure it out.

    If you save waypoints in the Navionics app ($10 one) make sure ALL of your settings are right, ALL of the time. I updated my maps, of which I'd done before with no problems, lost all waypoints. Contacted Navionics, to no avail.
    I've never typed in coordinate s, might have to research that one.

    No Guy's what I'm talking about on the Navionics boating mobile app is, are you able to view your lake looking for points, humps etc on your phone and get these coordinates for some places to fish? Then put those coordinates into your graph and then fish them when you get to the lake? Thoughts.

    Hi Skunked,
    Yes I believe your screen shots are what I'm asking for. Now are those of the Navionics boating mobile app? It looks like they use Bing maps? Now I wonder if you can put those in your graph and use them on the lake? You stated you don't have a GPS capable graph! Anyone else know? Thank you!

    There is a clock icon at the top, near the center. This brings up a slider bar that lets you go back and forth in time.

    Google Earth Imagery converted to an AT5 map and loaded on to an SD card and ran in the unit. It works just like your Navionics card and has GPS embedded into it so as you move, it moves. Instead of seeing contours you can see the low water imagery (Or pre-impoundment) on your unit. You can run it side by side on a split screen with have navionics and half imagery so you get both.....but it's a system resource hog. That image is my actual trail where I am fishing what is now under water. Those large rocks are not exposed above water and most people have no clue they are there.......and they always hold fish. This option is now available for HB units and I've seen some guys doing the same thing.

    I know. that's ridiculous. I have over 400 just on my home lake. I called Navionics and was told there is no timeframe for increasing the number of waypoints.

    There's a way to build maps for lowrance? Can I take images I have and line them up with points on my unit to produce an overlay?
