Auto Chart, Auto Chart Pro & Auto Chart Live Information Resource

[Kytrails]

I think you only want to delete the AC Folder. Rather than delete, I would choose to rename it to something like "AC-1". I have several iterations on my ZeroLines card from multiple passes and restarts. I wasn't comfortable totally deleting but, as long as you rename "AC" to anything else, it will be ignored by the Autochart PC software and your control head.

The others folders are there for a reason. For example, the ACDATA folder is your AutoChart Live recordings. Don't delete that unless you want to delete all of your AutoChart Live data.

You absolutely do not want to delete or alter the Lakemaster folder. That will invalidate your card and it would have to be rebuilt by Humminbird which I believe carries a cost.

Thanks Steve! Getting late, got to hit the sack and digest what I have learned tonight, stayed up way too late again but I'm determined to figure this program out!

I went through the same process you are going through about 6 months ago. I've painstakingly created AutoChart Live recordings on about 90% of my 10,000 acre home lake since there wasn't a Lakemaster or Navionics HD map card available. I then used AutoChart PC Pro to create a "permanent" map which basically gives you the same capabilities as a Lakemaster map. I also went through all the old tutorials and read this entire thread (that took some time) but had to lean a lot from the experts who still follow this thread. The AutoChart PC program has a lot of capability but, with capability, comes complexity and a lot of the capability isn't readily apparent or easy to figure out. I finally got it done and it works much better than the original AutoChart Live "paint a section at a time" original files.

Good luck with your journey!
