Best Lake Maps

What’s up everybody chad Ferguson here. Ijust want to show. You real quickI’ve been out. This afternoon running around doing a little mapping with my auto chart live here on the Homburg sollux. This is a feature that’s available in. Most of the newer hummingbird sonar units the helix. And Sollux series fish finders the auto chart live creates a real-time map. While you’re driving across the water so. You have an area you really like to target in on. You can map that area. And it’ll give you oftentimes a much. More accurate map what you get on the cards. You put in your fish finder, so I’ve been running around after noon updating some places. Something I do quite a bit on areas. Ilike to target pretty heavily for catfish but the problem is. You run out of space in your fish finder. They only hold I think it’s eight. Or ten hours of data with the auto chart inside the graph. And then you reached. That limit it goes back. It begins to record over the old data but there’s a way to fix. And that’s called the zero lines SD card from hummingbird so. What I’ve been doing is just driving around updating these maps. And recording the data to the internal memory on the fish finder. And then that I’ve done. And I’ve got a good amount of mapping data on there. What I’m gonna do is just take.

This zero lines SD card it’s gonna pop up a message here. And I’m just gonna hit confirm. And then this gives. Me an option to use the card. Ijust inserted as a map, so I’m going to select no but. What that’s done is that’s transferred. That mapping data onto. This zero lines SD card, so I’ve saved. Ican move it in other units. Ican back whenever. Iswap graphs out I can use. This on a different graph plus. Now have the option with the zero lines SD card of recording up to a hundred hours of mapping data.

Hello bill Carson field marketing manager with hummingbird here. Everybody is kind of hurt a little bit about the auto to our life but the cool thing about auto to our life is. Ihave the ability to go in. And to continually improve a chart. Imay be already have. Or to build a chart for someplace. Ido not have a chart for right. Now so that’s what we’re doing here we’re on the lake we’ve been here before. Some chart, and we’re going to kind of build on. You follow me down here to the unit. You can see I have my chart information right here but. Iwant to continue to add to. What I’m going to do is I’m going to come in here andI’m going to turn on my auto charlie I’m going to start recording I’m already I’m already showing you. What I see and nowI’m going to go back out. And I’m going to continue to add to. You can see it building the chart right here. You can literally see. It along the shore you can do. You can do you can do. You don’t have to you don’t have to go. One speed over another but the bottom line is. That the slower you go the. More data points you have. And it’s just like cutting your lawn. You have to do is go back.

And forth and follow alongside. You just win you can see. These areas I got before their areas. Itypically caught fish. What I’m doing is I’m going in here. And I’m getting on top of these areas. And I’m just making it better. You can literally see. It just like cutting the grass watch. These lines it moves the lines along. It thought that the depth was. That particular area was kind of inferred. Now what’s going in. And dressing it up it’s making it better. And remember as you make. These charts on your unit. These charts have the same ability as the leg master charts do. You have the ability to do highlight of contour. You have the ability to do lake level offset. You have the ability to set a safety contour. You have the ability to follow the contour with your torroga trolling motor. If that’s what you so choose to do. It on the machine live no need to send. It out to anybody right here brought to.

You by hummingbird on the Onyx check. It out today at a retailer near.

On my last video mentioned. Iwill try to show something more related to your region, so I’ve got a platinum region south I’m actually over del old Lake pick two body of water at random. All Lake and the other. One is in Florida and it’s the Harris Lake chain. Iwant to show you the difference between the two. You see there is no Google map view but there’s the 3d. We want to play a little bit with a 3d that’s. It looks okay so let’s go back to normal view. Igot the solar chart on I’m going to remove. It back so on our chart density is. That high you can play with. That also use medium. You can also use the fishing range fishing ring let’s say. We want to focus between let’s say let’s say 10 feet. And 20 let’s go to 20 yeah sure yeah it’s the let’s go back back come on. You dirty yes yeah so. Everything that is its white it’s the fishing range so. You can fish between a certain death. You know that gonna be. More productive I use also as view settings the chart representation type is in. Iprefer that. One because of the color but. You can also use the International let’s go back to. Is safety death I try to do. Something with the safety death. You won’t see any change only. Ihave the fishing range activated so. You need to put those two at zero. You want to play with the safety death okay let’s go back yeah settings safety death let’s say.

We use 18 so everything. That is in white is 18 feet. More okay so let’s go to. That Lake iris chain Lake that’s in Florida that’s cool faster traveling by airplane hope it’s over here. Where is I should have put a waypoint before let’s see here yeah we’re gonna use the kissing me like see the difference we’ve got the Google map view. Now let’s go chart option view photo transparency. That it’s gonna have an effect. We got a Google view. You absolutely need the goggle view for. That let’s go back that Lake doesn’t have a lot of so much art maybe scrolling down yep here. We go yep, so we remove shading yeah let’s see.

That we’re gonna put. Some fishing range max let’s say there’s gonna be 20 feet. And minimum will be 10 feet so. Everything that is clear between 10. And 20 21 so that’s a nice tool for two fish. You zoom in really close that’s different on. You see it’s different on agree well the hardest chain Lake. You zoom in very calm that’s. When you’re doing it very close let’s say at 50 feet. You lose the Google map. Or a shading let’s say. That shading Charlotte water is six feet that’s why your see those little red dot let’s play with the food of transparency there. We go here we go okay easy view let’s put. That see it’s like your closer it’s good for if. You forgot your glasses dynamic icons it’s for the icons for the tides. We don’t have any title like kissing me. We can also just say learn only later channel fool but the best thing to use is lana channel back do. Something else yeah that’s about.

It settings safety def to say 18. We won’t do anything because as. Isaid before we got the efficient range activated unable as you’ll see so that’s about. Ihope that’s gonna clear. Some things with the Platina so thank you.

Hi! My name is Andre. There’s a lot of people requesting some information regarding the Navionics Platina. I’ve mentioned in one of my posts that not all platinum are equal or the same.

I’ve got the 648 P which is the Great Lakes Lake Ontario st Lawrence River Lake Champlain. We are actually over Lake Champlain. Iwould like to apologize for my accent I’m a french-canadian so. Iwas born without being a French oh okay let’s go let’s go through the different menu on the platino let’s start with chart option look ahead we’ll. We don’t we won’t touch. That let’s go to 3d activate 3d so that’s five. That perspective okay. You can move screen let’s see like. That so that’s treaty let’s get out then go we’re gonna go to view let’s zoom out a little bit let’s go to view shading let’s change the view shading that’s easy view. That put the number the death. Or the map large or larger for some hole highs like mine photo overly landed shadow.

This is that’s the I always use. You can choose full planet shadow. Or land only okay let’s let’s keep. That a child then you can play with photo transparency it’s lower. It raises I actually worked with six seven back soon our chart okay sonar chart density so. You can play with that also very. Idepends on what kind of water. You are fishing in high media love that’s let’s put. It media and do back interesting and adjustment is the fishing range let’s go to fishing range let’s say.

You want to fish between twenty-five for maximum death okay minimum would be let’s say 15 let’s put. It 15 so you live that line. That the hundred collar. That between 15 and 20 so you’re just going to stay 25. And you’re going to stay inside. That range so you don’t have to look at the contour. Whatever you just look at the line as. We got the community hit. It on so somebody put. Something here let’s see. It fish or diving hot spot no detail info available the guy didn’t put. Anything so let’s go back settings. You can annotation is full international presentation type international. You can also use that gives. You a nicer color I think so for my part. Ifind it a little nicer chart detail user. You decide what to see a warrior. That not to see so there’s a. Few things there that it’s your own choices like safety death is set at 60 right. Iplay with you won’t see. Anything change because we’ve got the fishing range on. You gotta have to remove.

Something different back so let’s go back again just go to settings again safety death let’s say. We choose 18 30 or 60 is the maximum so. Everything that is in collar is 60. We forgot something with view yeah shallow water. You can play it without to. That put red dots where it’s 21 feet. And last whatever I’m running actually six feet. You can play without also for the let’s say. You got a reservoir Lake. Where the water is 20 feet below. What it is actually so. You can put let’s say 20 plus a 60 feet to be safe so that’s going to give. You a contour approximately the contour of the lake with lowered water to be able to see a little bit.

More your red dot you just raise the transparency so let’s go back to fishing range let’s play again without we’re gonna put. It 25 15 yep so that’s. What you can do with the Platinum I’m gonna do. One later you like. It but we’re gonna use only an avionic plus so. You will see the difference between the two so thank.

So Jeffrey you work for Navionics Jose yes. Ithink it’s cool man. You know all fishermen have studied charts. You know I have certainly on paper charts forever that’s. Ilearned a lot of the areas. And subjects but now pretty much. You have all those paper charts at your disposal. Some of these units. You know all chart plotter small manufacturers come with. Some base level of mapping that’s going to get. You to the grounds at home safely for the. Most part what we do with the actual charts. We spend a lot of time actually on the water building a better product looking at. And saying you know wait. If I’m using this which. We are here’s what I’d like to see instead of what we’re currently showing you know. You know a mapping unit to a fishing unit. All the contour information. We need to spot soundings ledges. And it’s all right there yeah it’s its pretty impressive. That shows all your bath. You metric information on a much higher level. You would have on any chart right on. Any chart because we’ve done a really good job of sourcing some hard-to-find stuff. It isn’t this but there’re certain elements here. That you’re not going to find in. Anybody else’s paper chart.
