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

[Flooringit]

Yes, you are confused. No, you don't need to buy two ZeroLines cards.

There is no such thing as Lakemaster live.

AutoChart Live is built into Humminbird Onix depthfinders, and if you want to build a lake map containing more than the 8hrs of memory built into the head unit, then you will need to buy one ZeroLine SD card and tell the Onix to save the map to that instead of internal memory.

For those of us using AutoChart Pro on the computer for our mapping, most of us save our sonar recordings to a regular SD card, and transfer those to our home computer at the end of the day. Then use the AutoChart program on our computer to process that data and send the map to the ZeroLine SD card.

Ok first off I meant to write autochart live.
So I'm getting this right. When you buy a autochart or autochart pro card you get a zero lines card and a lakemaster card with lakes already on it it? And the difference between the pro and autochart is you can over lay si onto the chart?

No, if you want Lakemaster mapping that is a separate purchase and you chose the region you want.

Auto Chart is contour map creation software- it has no maps, you provide the data to create the contour maps.
The Zeroline card has just outlines of bodies of water that you fill in with Auto Chart processed recordings.,

Reguest for update 2.4 for onix

1. Make date overlay size adjustable
2. Make the ability to change screen % 80-20 or 70-30 etc.
3. Send us the old covers for the core units for free because these rubber ones are JUNK! Who ever thought they would be better than the hard plastic covers should be fired because they dont protect nor do they stay on. Yes thats not downloadable i get it ha
4. Make favorite screen buttons like the old core units
5. Increase start up speed to under 30 seconds.

Lets make a survey with updates we demand from humminbird! For the price we pay it should be better. They are not reinventing the wheel. This update added a clock they Forgot to put on.

cmon MAN!!!!

6. Make the depth offset feature functional.
7. When you go back to the 360 front view from another view, it doesn't go to full 360 view.
8. Add depth numbers to AutoChart Live.

2,3,6,7

The rest of them I really don't care either way

[CamoHunter]

What does all that have to do with AutoChart? Might be better suited in the Humminbird forum.

Anything in the post 30 minutes before that???

[Icecold]

Is there any way to save the file once you create the map to Adobe or another software to manipulate and print a large paper style map?

[NY29T]

Couple more questions guys

1-can the autochart live map have depth numbers to it?
2-can you use the "depth highlight" with autochart only or do i need lakemaster? I think the 10 fow lit green then disappeared and i couldnt figure it out again.
3-Is there a way to make a map overlay of a side imaging map. Im not talking about the 3d mosaic. but a map where rocks and rockwalls would be on an overlay of the autochart. thatd be wicked.

thanks guys!

[NY29T]

ok so i think i can get depth numbers if i use my autochart pro and then load it back on to my computer. not sure. and i dont know how to tell if my internal memory is maxed out or the card. trying to look it up now

[Akells15]

I am running an 1197c si in my boat, and i am curious if there is anyway that i can get it to load an autochart zeroline card and i am curious if anyone knows of a workaround for that unit, or if anyone has any knowledge of an update coming out anytime soon.

[keng8554]

I have a few questions about autochart. I currently have a lowrance and insight Genesis. I want to switch over to a helix.

Here is what I like about insight Genesis and my concerns


1- it will map anything you float over. Reading about "zero lines" I am concerned smaller unnamed water bodies won't get mapped.

2- since you record to any SD card, rather than a zero line card, you can update your map with every trip. Then on your next trip you can use the new map while you log the sonar for the current trip. Then blend them. You continue to use them while obtaining more data. Is this the same for autochart?

3- if a "zero line" doesn't exist, can you make one? If so is the process complicated?

[Bob B]

1. See 3
2. Yes
3. Yes

And if you are interested in SI mosaic....get the Pro version......and be aware the Helix series only has 1 micro SD slot .... You will be able to view mapping OR record, not both at the same time as you can with the 899 and bigger core units.

[keng8554]

Thanks Bob. That's exactly what I was wondering. You can map and record with IG. Not being able to would be a downside to the zero line map card.

I have an hds 5 gen 2 which has one SD slot. But can view maps while you record.

[keng8554]

Can you record while you view live sonar returns?

[Bob B]

Can you record while you view live sonar returns?

Yes, you can view all sonar and imaging while recording ..... It is just that the Helix series is limited to 1 card slot to keep the cost down.....

With the 899, 999, 1199, and Onix .... there are 2 card slots.

so to get my feet wet in this auto chart / auto chart pro, what all is required on initial purchase to do this? been reading alot of post, it sounds and looks very interesting. considering all i have is a helix 5 and 798ci si. thank you

You need one of those softwares to install on your computer.

An extra Zero line card if you want to use the map/s on both units at the same time.

You need a memory card/s to record sonar logs on the units. Get the microSD so you can use it in both units.

[gpbassbuster]

ok thanks Wayne, considering what i have i guess the auto chart would be the way to go.
