I bought 2 ZLC so that I could get that data on both cards. Humminbird says not possible. I want to try this, but not take a chance at ruining my entire map....

I have done this many times, I sort my data by lakes in case I get more than the card can hold since sorting it later by isn't possible at least not now.

I must have done something wrong because it did not work for me....

Purchased 2 ZLC and tried to "copy/transfer" from the one with data to the one without.

This is what I do. Copy data from acdata folder on 1st ACZ card to computer. Replace SD in computer SD reader with 2nd ACZ card and copy the data from computer to the 2nd SD card acdata folder. The files are .acu.

That is what I tried. Can you clarify if you put it into a new folder on the card, or into the " AC data" file or do you have to delete the folder that is currently on ACZ #2?

Here are my 2 cards. They look identical to me, but only 1(ZLC1REAR- which I saved from the graph to this card first) shows the graphing info while in the graphs(Helix 9SI's) that I took with Auto Chart Live.

I don't know why it doesn't work for you, I would call LakeMaster to see if they can solve it.

You should check the root of both SD cards and make sure they are the same too.

Just because you don't see any files does not mean that they aren't there. Use these steps to see if there are any hidden files in those folders:

Hey guys I just bought autochart. I've read this whole thread and feel obligated to share a few things to help others. I ordered autochart on 3/12/16 and received a standard sd card. Which I can't use because I have a helix. I called support and they were very efficient within a week and a half I had the micro sd. My PC runs Windows Vista. I first was receiving a error message when trying to launch autochart after installing. I read other threads about changing the WMI on windows. I tried that and didn't work. I dug deep in the back room and found my reinstall cd for vista. I reinstalled vista and was able to get autochart to launch. I registered the product using all caps and the dashes for the serial number. I downloaded the most recent update for autochart. To unhide the tutorial on autchart I searched folder options, then went to veiw, and clicked show hidded files. After all of this I realized I didn't have a world map!! So after rereinstalling vista here is the sequence that others should follow. Install vista, connect to internet, go to start update windows, install autochart, update autochart. I hope this helps some one

Just to confirm, you are doing this with Auto Chart LIVE data correct?

I just bought 2 helix 10s and a zero line card. In the box it mentioned downloading to computer, would I have to do that since the new helix has auto chart live?

Boy do I feel stupid. While playing around with my 2 Helix 9's and 2 Zero Line cards, I realized something. You must have the settings in Auto Chart Live set to 1 foot intervals(the same as what you made your map at) for it to read the data off of the copied ZLC. Thanks to everyone who has helped, my 2 cards did all along both have all of my mapping data. I was just the dumb one!

Glad I got it working and thanks to everyone who helped!

Thank you.

Your trials and tribulations will help others doing the same procedure.
