I thought I would not ever be interested in auto chart But your Your Videos along with a few others have convinced me I need to spend some time with this
If you are a fan of accurate maps, there's no better way to get them. Every time I put my boat in the water, I just turn on sonar recording before I even leave the dock. Then I just fish as normal, and I get excellent bottom contours of the areas I fish. On the way off the lake, if I see something interesting on the bottom, I'll make a few passes over that area to fill in the map detail, or I might run through a part of the lake that I don't have mapped yet. If you spend just 10-15 minutes per outing doing that, combined with recording sonar while fishing, it won't take you long at all to get a great looking map.
This may be a shot in the dark because vid post was 2y ago. But is there a way to expand the outline of the lake ? While charting and then you go into pro to make the map the map exceeds the boundaries of the “outline” of the supposed lake when in fact your not that close to some of those areas that exceed. Hope this makes since.
Sorry for the late reply... I don't know of any way to "modify" the lines that are on the card, but there is a way you can draw your own. I've never done it before, every video I saw about the topic was SUPER complex. Most of the shorelines for the lakes I fish are "close enough" so I just didn't think it was worth the extra brainpower to figure it out. If memory serves, it involved using Google Earth, and a few other things. If you just want to be able to get water depth "on land" (I'm assuming the lake level has gone up), you can always just uncheck the box in the settings to have it ignore the shorelines. There is 1 lake I fish that is like 15 feet high, so a lot of the islands are submerged, and of course the shorelines have moved...
I mistakenly had the internal GPS selected as the source, so the data was all invalid. When I discovered this (live, on camera, in a previous video), I deleted the bad data from the maps.

I'm not sure what you mean.. Could you provide some more detail?
Is there a way to extend or move the outside boundaries of a lake on pro I’ve not seen or found anyway to do that just wondering if you have.

How did it get lost?

Hi , how turn off Chart Info Bar on the top of the screen ( cursor, latitude-Longitude, Distance, Beaaring) ?
