Good stuff. On your last video you mentioned that you were going to do a video about AutoChart Pro, and it got me thinking about my AutoChart Pro program that I haven’t played with in awhile, so I took the day of work Friday and spent ten hours mapping several spots on a pretty big lake that has no charts. Sunday I plan to import the files into AC Pro and play with the 3D mosaic. The AC Live chart looked great on the Hummindird, especially after learning from your last video how to setup the MIN and MAX Depths, what a difference that one thing does to make maps look really good.
Nice video but there is one AWESOME feature on that program that I don't think you have covered in any of your videos. It's called "Side Imaging Mosaic". You map every inch of the bottom with side imaging and then make a mosaic so you have side imaging of the entire lake bottom. Or at least the part of the lake you want. So now you have a picture of every rock, stump, tree, weed, sunken boat or shanty, etc that may be holding fish.
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO, That is a great video, I gleaned a lot of information, thanks for going slow.. I still haven't got the knack of how you manipulated the files at the end, I'm not a computer expert. I'll be going over this video many more times.. Your presentation was great. Thanks for your Assistance to be Sure.. Doug
Good videos with great content just need better audio sounds like in a closet. But I still like your information and good explanation .hopefully UA-cam can help you out with audio upgrades in fact I’m subscribing …to support your audio funding lol. Good stuff keep it coming!
Might you have done a whole segment 10:39 to the end of how you are transfering files. Your voice has a room echo and the camera is not quite focused on your laptop screen... Thanks in Advance. Your video teachings are great..
It sure is wild how advanced humminbird and just technology as a whole has come. Just 10 years ago I purchased a black n white humminbird matrix with gps and thought it was best fish finder ever
Your video's are great. One question though, here in Canada Lakemaster doesn't have mapping in the Northern lakes of Ontario. Humminbird informed me that Navionics MSD/NAV + CA would be the way to go. This card has all the lakes around Algoma Region. My question to you is Will the Autochart PC or Autocahart Pro PC work the same as with Lakemaster mapping. Also I have looked all over Humminbirds web site and can't find where or how to download Autochart PC.. Thanks in Advance for your Time.. Doug
It works very similar to the lake master card but with the new generation units you can only upload back to the zero lines card after transferring from auto chart pro. This will give you ample space on the card for a ton of recordings. Hope this helps
Great video. I am still a little confused. Did you actually overwrite the Lakemaster Card or you put the new created map back on the Zero lines map card ?
Great vid.. thanks helped allot.. everything seems to be normal up till I look for that BT folder after after clicking on map and updating lake master.. BT folder never shows up?.. also what's an I supposed to see when I put the zero line card back in the unit? All I get is what appears to be the raw recorded AC live info? Thought there was supposed to be a finished map? Called HB no help..
Have a problem and hope it’s simple. I used you videos to set up my PC map. Shut the autochart pc program down. And when I started back up, I couldn’t find the maps I created. Was I supposed to save it before I shut down?
Hi thank you so much for the video! We university students are really benefitting from your information!!! However, I have one quick question: Do the black contour lines you make list the specific depth of that particular contour? Or is that information available somewhere else, or just seen by the color?
Glad to help! The black contour lines will also have a depth numbered on them. The colors are just to make it easier to read certain depth. Hope this helped
Thank you for the video. Helps out a lot. Quick question... Should I be setting the max depth at the max depth of the entire lake I'm recording on? Or just the max depth of the area I have recorded? For instance, I'm going to do some recording at a lake in my area tomorrow. The max depth of the entire lake is at about 250 ft right now, but the area of that lake I'll be recording tops off at about 40 ft. So am I setting the max depth at 250 ft or 40 ft? Appreciate the information.
No problem! You should set the max depth at 40 foot to get the most colors then everything deeper than 40 will be dark blue. If you set the max depth to 250 the color would only change ever 20 foot instead of ever foot r 2
Hey man, great video. I have tried to get some tech support to no avail from the Hummingbird folks. How do you get all of the green data boxes to create a map? When I right click , it will only create a section of the map. Also, when correcting bad data spots, how do you get that data from the card to the software (just keeps creating the same map). Thx!
From the zero lines card after you uploaded the map to the card. It will create a new folder. If you open it up before and after u will know which one to drag n drop to your pc
Thanks for all the great information! When you transfer your new map from the computer program and you delete (only the autochart mapping information) from the zero line card. And you upload it to a normal SD card. My question is, will the helix still be compatible with my i pilot motor and still be able to follow designated contour lines?
I made autochart maps with the helix 7 G3N. Option-folow the contour- is not working on my i pilot link minn kota and ... I record autochart in internal memory of G3N.. I dont have -zero line- card. Is that problem or what?
Does what you're demonstrating here only work if you have Lake Master maps? I'm in Northern Ontario, Algoma Region and there are no Humminbird Lake Master maps for our lakes here in Elliot Lake, Dunlop Lake, Depo chain of 4 lakes so can I still do what our doing without losing my original data from my Zero Line Card?
Can i use this from A autochart live to a 999hdsi? And from the 999 hdsi to the helix 7 g2n ? I have zerolines card in the helix 7 g2n And autochart pro card in the 999 Along with a sd card
Im actually unsure as I've never transferred from an 999 to a helix but the only way to try is to insert the pro card into a computer and drag the info into a folder then insert the live card in and try to drag n drop the info onto that card and see if it works on the helix
When you import the information to your Autochart PC program does that remove the data that was stored on your Zero Line Card and place it on your computer?
Hey great video, I purchased the Zero Lines SD card after watching your video. I wanted to ask you if I buy the PC software is it going to work on my MAC? I think this is pretty cool, but I can't find the PC software for MAC.
Thanks bud, really appreciate the comment. Unfortunately they have not made a mac version yet which is pretty hard to believe. I'm sure it is something they will be putting out eventually. The zero lines card does so much on it's own tho. Enjoy!
Nice tutorial! I copied my LkMaster directory onto a blank SD card as explained at 11:00 but when I insert into Solix I don't see my new map. Is there something I need to turn on?
Not the most familiar with solid but only issue I have had is having the sd card not encrypted to humminbird format. To do so just stick a blank sd card into your solix. Hit the menu tab and go over to setup and scroll down to encrypt sd. That should do the trick. If not please let me know
@@HumminbirdHelp I formatted the SD card on the unit then copied the LkMaster directory onto card. It does recognize it as a humminbird card but does not show the map. Are you able to view a map from a blank SD card? Mine does work if I use the Zero Line Card, but it would be nice to use a blank card.
I wonder if they have changed something with a new update. Just out of curiosity try to drag and drop the folder out of the zero lines card to the computer and then the sd card used. Not the ac data file, the other one and see if that does the trick
I've been using my my helix 9 si gen 1 unit for solely mapping. I just tried on my 9 g2n and 7 gen and they are not loading the autochart map either. I'm gunna figure out what's going on
I try to follow you but still left behind. My maps from my Zero Line card all have a red box drawn arond them and the red line cuts of the rest of the Zero line map that I just made.. . How do I get rid of the red box and view my whole map.. Thanaks Doug
Hi Again, after watching several times I think I see the answer about the boxes that show on my Helix from your PC Pro program. I don't have the pro ver. so it's seems to be a bit different. I think where I went wrong was where you show the icon to make a map it's hard to see what your pushing and I pushed the make map with Lakemaster and lost all my maps on my Zero Line Card. (5 whole lakes over 6 years of mapping. Questionis can I recover them somehow or are they lost for ever. I did recover some because I have been sharing my maps on Humminbird and recovered some mapping data. Very hard to see what buttons you are pushing on my laptop.. Might you be able to get closer to those images.. Your a great help though, I would never have got this far without your assistance.. I love your veideos..
You cannot copy a zero lines card. You need to write your map data to each card from AutoChart pc. Update the first card, swap to the second card and “update” again. Rinse and repeat until your map is done.
Are you running windows 10 on your pc? I'm in the early stages of making sure everything is compatible. Looks like this software has been around for awhile and I need to avoid backward compatibility issues up front. The mosaic view is speaking to me.
I'm running windows 8 with the autochart pc program. Havent tried it with 10 yet although I'm sure it will work. The 3d mosaic is the best feature. Newer software on the helix units will not take an upload to a regular sd card anymore except the gen 1 units tho. Still am awesome program
@@HumminbirdHelp thank you for that update, I could not get it to work on a blank SD card. Are you able to just remove the files from the lines SD card to the computer, then delete the files so you can start with an empty card? Then sometime later, put those files removed back on to the lines card so you can use it in later than Gen 2 or later models. I read it is important not to delete the folders.
According to your reply to Doug Smith, if I record on a LakeMaster map charted body with my Zerolines card, I can work the new chart up on Autochart pro and download to a 32g or less SD card and it will work on my unit. If using Navionics chip to chart from since no Lake master available for this lake, I have to download back to a Zerolines card to be read in the HB unit. Is this the truth?
From what I know u can use the 899 for recording and then be viewed on the pc. However the helix unit can be used to record the autochart then the zero lines card can be used immediately in the 899
Does the program make it easier to erase bad data? Ex: forgetting to turn off recording before running to a new area. Trying to delete this info from the helix itself is a nightmare.
Slime Quest TV Thx for the info, yea I do the same but it really sucks when you run 3 miles down the lake before you realize and it’s not areas that you would ever fish lol. One more question, once you purchase the software, do you have to wait to receive the disc or is it available for download from the website?
Yeah that is def a pain in the but when you run miles before seeing it's still on. I believe there is a downloaf from the website once you pay but I'm not certain. I just grabbed mine from cabelas when they were in stock. Humminbird is pretty hood if u call customer service
Rookie probably dumb question. I ordered a new boat with 2 Helix 9’s. I also purchased 2 zero lines cards one for each unit. I live on a private uncharted lake in Virginia . I also plan to take my boat twice a year to the Georgian Bay in Canada. IYO, what is next in my Hummingbird software purchases? A lake master card, the PRO computer program, 2 more blank SD cards? I would love to hear your opinion please.
I have found myself using less of the occasional program over the years and if you have a computer to drag n drop your ac data off the zero lines cards there should be no need for more cards. I would purchase the chart select maps for other lakes that you fish that r charted. I have a some good videos on the chart select maps and on the zero lines card on using and saving the info to the computer without the software
Exactly, all of the autochart data can be dragged and dropped off the card to a folder on your desktop labeled as the name of the lake and then be stored forever for when u return to that lake.
@@HumminbirdHelp so what’s the deal with the auto chart pro program? What’s the use for it if you can just drag the information off the card and store it on another card without the need for it?
The 3d mosaics of the lake u autochart mostly. That's about all I've really found it useful for. You can create maps at smaller sizes to store multiple lakes on the same chip too
@@HumminbirdHelp No it's not. The Program with the card is $250, so it's $100 for the card plus another $150 for the program on top. Way too expensive for what it is IMO.
Here is a link from a reputable electronics website. This is the pro program and autochart live zero lines card for $170. To each there own with cost and affordability but this has treated me very well for 5 years now www.hodgesmarine.com/hum600032-1-humminbird-autochart-pro-dvd-pc-mapping-software.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAgomBBhDXARIsAFNyUqMrPOXsQBOMYwZMEf93A0UBgjEcA5iZU52gvjNeWWlZ8r6t--lW-KQaAjm6EALw_wcB
Unfortunately they have not made a mac version but there r rumors of software programs that can be downloaded on the mac to use pc software but do not know first hand
Nope you lost me a 11:00. Did you already have a file with the lake on it to drag the new file to? I'm computer illiterate and your screen is to hard to see what you are clicking on. Thanks for getting me halfway there but having a cool map on my computer doesn't help me on the lake!
WARNING UPDATE: I just purchased in DEC 2020 a New Humminbird Zero Lines Card and it came with a Yellow WARNING Card that says: >>>>>>>>Do NOT delete or change the AC Folder, LKMaster folder or SI Folder on the ZeroLine Map Card. Removing or changing these folders will permanently damage the ZeroLine Map Card. A fee of $$19.95 for S&H and Maintenance will be charged for a rewrite of these files in the event of user error
@@HumminbirdHelp Sir, not trying to be a PITA, I think what is causing my confusion (and maybe for others as well) is the verbiage you chose to use? @12:08 "Delete all this information off there" and then @12:25 "Insert a blank SD Card" Maybe you meant to say (Insert a blank SD Zero Lines Card)? I do appreciate your contributions to our sport and hobby of fishing. I do work in Tech Support industry and seen loose verbiage unwillingly cause harm on a few occasions. Blessings to You and Yours. CB
I agree, you definitely do not want to delete any of the folders that came stock on the zero lines card. Only the data recorded and created within the acdata folder.

To each there own with cost and affordability but this has treated me very well for 5 years now www.hodgesmarine.com/hum600032-1-humminbird-autochart-pro-dvd-pc-mapping-software.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAgomBBhDXARIsAFNyUqMrPOXsQBOMYwZMEf93A0UBgjEcA5iZU52gvjNeWWlZ8r6t--lW-KQaAjm6EALw_wcB
Will autocrat pro work with apple
Unfortunately they have not made a mac version but there r rumors of software programs that can be downloaded on the mac to use pc software but do not know first hand
Nope you lost me a 11:00. Did you already have a file with the lake on it to drag the new file to? I'm computer illiterate and your screen is to hard to see what you are clicking on. Thanks for getting me halfway there but having a cool map on my computer doesn't help me on the lake!
The main thing is…..when I humminbird catching up with the world……and makes it work on the Mac ……so annoying 😭
I wish they would too. They have to eventually
Are you aware of ANYWHERE that has videos teaching how to use Autochart Pro? Your video only covers a fraction of the program.
WARNING UPDATE: I just purchased in DEC 2020 a New Humminbird Zero Lines Card and it came with a Yellow WARNING Card that says: >>>>>>>>Do NOT delete or change the AC Folder, LKMaster folder or SI Folder on the ZeroLine Map Card. Removing or changing these folders will permanently damage the ZeroLine Map Card. A fee of $$19.95 for S&H and Maintenance will be charged for a rewrite of these files in the event of user error
I dont understand how this can be possible to develop when the program is made to be transferred on and off the pro pc program to create maps
@@HumminbirdHelp Sir, not trying to be a PITA, I think what is causing my confusion (and maybe for others as well) is the verbiage you chose to use? @12:08 "Delete all this information off there" and then @12:25 "Insert a blank SD Card" Maybe you meant to say (Insert a blank SD Zero Lines Card)? I do appreciate your contributions to our sport and hobby of fishing. I do work in Tech Support industry and seen loose verbiage unwillingly cause harm on a few occasions. Blessings to You and Yours.

I agree, you definitely do not want to delete any of the folders that came stock on the zero lines card. Only the data recorded and created within the acdata folder.
