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

James is right, if you had 2 cards in the unit, it will only write to one at a time.

[K-DAWG]

Nothing on either card

[K-DAWG]

I need to take my time next time. Be really sure of what I am doing. I am not going to let this thing beat me. It will be well worth it in the end. Hopefully everything I screw up and post on here will keep the next guy from making the same mistake.

The only other thing I can think of is what kind of card were you recording to? Best results are with a class 10 card.....I think Humminbird recommends the scandisk extreme, but some use other card brands with good results.

Did you use the Autochart program to examine the disk, or did you look at it with file explorer?

[Doug Vahrenberg]

Brands and Types of cards make a difference in quality of performance and writing data. SanDisk is what I have the best success with. Will the unit play the recording back on the unit? Could be card reader on your computer too? I had card reader fail on my laptop and had to but a new SD Card Reader because my old one was not SDHC compatible.

All you should have to do is stop the recording.....This should close it out properly.

You should always shut the unit off with it's powers button.......but that is probably not the problem here.

You're SURE you took this step?
ANY time I have lost recordings is by NOT stopping record and just shutting down.......
G'Luck....

[K-DAWG]

I could have swore I stopped the recording prior to killin g the unit. Of course I haven't had the best of luck so far and most everything that has given me trouble was user error driven by lack of understanding. I would be willing to bet I did something wrong.

Ditto. Make sure to "Stop Recording" before shutting the unit off. I'm sure it's in their instructions somewhere, but I think I lost a recording by doing that one time also. Same thing goes for boat tracks, I like to save those before shuttting the unit off just to be safe.

K-DAWG, you might still be able to salvage those areas if you still have your boat track. Next time you go out, save your boat track, and it may contain depths for your boat runs. Not as good as a sonar recording, but better than nothing.

[Doug Vahrenberg]

A tip on when I do recordings instead of one huge recording I start and stop to create smaller areas that way you don't lose everything if something would happen.

[Jdw2u]

Thanks for getting back to me on that.

So what units will this work on? 899 or 999?

[Bob B]

yes

[AlexBorzov]

Manager told me that there will be Auto Chart Pro programme in 2015. It won't be required of Zero Lines Map Card. What do you think about it?

[sfw1960]

That would be very nice.
I would probably make that purchase then especially if the price was reduced also....
What company manager do you speak of a Humminbird manager?

[Bob B]

HMMM....Maybe they plan to encrypt a card in the unit and have the "zero line" outlines in the application......That would save some serious change by not having to buy zero line cards..

[sfw1960]

RIGHT.
Also, they could drop the price by a "C-note" and sell the $|-|!ZN!T out of them too......
I know the other mapping companies would really like a good kick in the nutZ like that.

[AlexBorzov]

That would be very nice.
I would probably make that purchase then especially if the price was reduced also....
What company manager do you speak of a Humminbird manager?

Manager in Russian company

I have bought European Auto Chart Pro,but one of the most biggest river in Russia is half drawn only. Is there any opportunity to get renew "zero line" card? How should I draw missing part of the river on map?

[AlexBorzov]

What is the "zero line" card necessary for? A map of depths can be drawn anyway,even if there are not drawn banks of rivers on the map. So, the map can be created,but, will banks be seen on it? It seems to me, that outlines of reservoirs,which are drawn on the map, are not participated in a structure of the map of depths. This SD-card is used only for reproducing created card on Humminbird devices. That means,that there is only a picture of banks, without zero depths with co-ordinates. Am I right? So,I have got a question. Is Humminbird company going to produce AutoChart and it will not be attached to definite SD-card?

[skigill]

The onix has autochart built in, don't need zero lines card.

[Bob B]

Can the Autochart data or map on the Onix be saved to use in Autochart externally to create a map on a SD card?........Or does that data only exist on the unit?
