I wanted to review the new Lakemaster AutoChart that I got from djsmarinelectronics.

It comes with a dvd containing the mapping software and a dedicated map card (SD) that the software uses to create the maps.

I made recordings with my Humminbird 1199 of places that I wanted specific information about. I recorded on the AutoChart card itself (no additional card is necessary since there is about 16 Gb of empty, useable space on it). I did my mapping on multiple trips and just kept adding to the map program after each trip.

The SD card is inserted into your computer's card reader and the program is started. The recordings are transferred to the computer and converted into a detailed map. This new map is then exported back to the map card. This map is then available for use alone or in conjunction with your other map cards. The H-bird software updates add the ability to use this info on my Lakemaster charts, and I can see both the new and the old maps actually overlaying, and I can adjust the transparency of the overlay to see as much or as little of the maps as I choose.

The basic operation is quite simple - once you figure out that you can ignore all of the menus and options and just go ahead and produce the maps. There are lots of menu items to play with at a later date, and it sounds to me like software updates might be made available for the autochart program as new features are developed.

I have had a ball playing with this and learning a lot more about some of my favorite fishing areas.

Thanks to Johnny for hunting this new program down for me when it was first released!
