    AutoChart Live Map Disappeared - ?

    I went out to map a lake the other day and just as I was finishing up my map flickered and then disappeared - see attached. The only mapping left was some old information from a previous trip. I do have AutoChart Pro and imported the files with the same result if anyone wants to look at them. Any help would be great.

    Try zooming in and out to see if it appears.

    Check contour setting. See if its changed and set it to 1ft contours

    Yes its changed to 1' settings and I may have been messing with the contour settings when I was mapping (bored driving around for two hours). Is there an issue?

    FYI, when doing contour mapping, do it in segments of 15-30 minutes. That way if you loose some data, you don't loose all of two hours.

    If you saved the Track, you can use that data.

    Thanks Wayne, I was a little upset at first reading your post but I guess its no different than saving an Excel file or Word document as you go. Crap happens and saving early and often is always the best approach. For some reason I saw the contours show up on my AutoChart Pro PC program but when I went to export them it was gone. Its been so long since I have used AC Pro I may be doing something wrong. Would you be willing to look at the files if I sent them to you?
