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

[Doug Vahrenberg]

Autochart Pro question... I'm a Long way from updating to Onyx, since I only recently purchased the 1198, 998HD, 958, and old style 5 port hub that are on my boat now... So here are my AC Pro questions:
1. If I record SI on my 1198 (console), make the mosaic on the card with my PC, can I put the card in the 998 (bow) and view the Mosaic there? (Different screen sizes does not work for capture and replay, so I'm concerned)
2. I run Navionics+ cards in both my units. Can I overlay the SI Mosaic onto the Nav+ map? What do I set the "map select" menu to?

Thanks in advance! I wanna make sure all this works before I spend the $250.

AutoChart Pro PC Program the SI Mosaics are on the PC. Only on the ONIX & ION are the SI Mosaics an overlay and it doesn't matter the map data in the unit.

Doug, so I can just import the older recordings from any sd card to the pc and make a map?

Doug, so are you saying I cannot make an SI Mosaic to put on my 1198/998? Only on the PC?

Import from the SD Card into Auto Chart PC Program on your computer

My understanding the SI Mosiacs for the CORE Products 800. 900 and 1100 Series are not available as overlay only viewable on the computer

Thanks Doug !

I have an ONIX CP +SM3000 and CHIRP transducer) I use navionics and JEPPESEN CMAP4D (best for salt water for tide and curent) autochart live work well for navionics but I don't have menu with cmap4D for autochart live, I forget to do something?
(Sorry for my english I'm french!)

OOPS! I was Wrong! Auto Chart Pro PC will allow SI Mosaics to be displayed on the unit. Here is an Image J.Hammond shared on the Facebook Side Imaging Group that shows the Mosaics and Contours Created with Auto Chart Pro PC Program.

This shows the benefits of Auto Chart PC Program and Immediate Custom Mapping. Here is some images a user shared on the Facebook Side Imaging Group

Before



Here is Auto Chart Mapping created from converting Sonar Recordings Instantly in the PC



And here is 3D View of the Auto Chart PC Data on the Computer.



Look at the additional details and how easy it is create mapping from sonar recordings. Scan, Convert and Export and getting mapping instantly on your own PC.

Here a wreck (150m long) in french water done in few minutes, easy and great help for fishing! Now I'm not blind on the water!
I put only few lines, need to keep screen clear!

I waiting for my sd zero line card for more surface, but french sellers receive only US card and not europe one!!

Got to play with Auto Chart PC Program on a Conservation Lake that offered no mapping and amazing what Auto Chart PC Program can do. Hi-Def Mapping that I invested my time to create and I can enjoy and control who else I want to to enjoy. And in just a Few Button Clicks it was ready to use.



My Track Lines



Map Data Convert with one Click



Exported as LakeMaster Style Mapping



Here some other views from Auto Charts lots of cool tools to work with Mapping





And the PRO Version of Auto Chart allows you to add SI Mosaics and even play them back...I'm going to be creating lots of waypoints from this part of the program.



And Bottom Hardness Map too

Here's Zero Line Lake Examples for Canadian Anglers...lots of water available to scan it looks like.







Here's some zoomed in shots





Zero Lines are used for AutoChart PC Mapping data to be exported too.

What are my options if the zero line provided on the Autocharts card for the body of water I'm interested in resemble the doodlings of a third-grader? I can provide a pic of what I mean. Extraneous zero lines in the middle of a lake do not make for a useful map. I do have a kml file for this body of water that I made for a different purpose. I've tried importing that into Autocharts with limited success, as the depth map was already calculated using the zero lines provided on the Autocharts card.

Pics: first shows a zero line in the middle of a cove, and certain coves cut off by a zero line. When mapped, the software treats one side of the zero line as shore so my map shows land in the middle of the left cove here.



Same problem below. When mapped, this zero line running down the middle of the lake creates a land mass where the actual depth is 25-35 fow.

You can build custom ZeroLines. This Tips from Humminbird may help with the information to get your mapping needs created: http://www.humminbird.com/Category/S...AQ/ZL_NotInAC/

Thanks. But, I've tried that already, as stated above. The situation you're talking about is when there are no zero lines on the Autochart card for the lake of interest. That is not the case for me.

My trouble is the zero lines provided by Humminbird are very bad, so much so that any maps created using them are laughable. I'd like to be rid of the zero lines provided by Autocharts altogether, then use my own.

[Doug Vahrenberg]

Look at Item 3 & Item 4 in that FAQ.

Item 3 is Custom Zero Line
Item 4 is Creating Custom Zero Lines

There are 4 Topics of Discussions. If that that doesn't help call Humminbird Customer Service 800-633-1468

Is the 798ci HD able to use auto chart?

[Doug Vahrenberg]

I would give HB Customer Service a call originally it was all LakeMaster Compatible unit now some state not all are compatible. Customer service can tell you for sure. 800-633-1468
