Location: MN | To figure what lakes will be on a new chip is a guessing game. LakeMaster is good at updating card versions to include the newest lakes mapped and making sure the update is significant. Based on previous releases, it looks like they release new versions about every other year. I would bet that we will find out sometime before this coming May. |

AutoChart Live... ; )
Agreed. I have this feature on my Helix 9. It is awesome. |

| Ok my helix 9 with AutoChart Live only loads small portions of a lake that I mapped. Then once i drive off the portion that is loaded nothing happens. I have to go in to the menu, turn off AutoChart Live, then turn it back on and a new portion loads. Then repeat the process every time i drive off a portion that i previously mapped. Do yours do this? I have the zero lines card. |

No, it should be a seamless view of the sections that you mapped. Make sure that all of the data is saved to the card so that the unit is not switching between storage areas for the info. Also, make sure the software is updated to version 1.210. |

| I have what I believe is the latest software and it's all saved to my zero lines card. If I zoom out to view the area I mapped only the latest portion shows.. it only loads a small sections, roughly 100 square yards. Not sure what the best coarse of action is. I'm not illiterate to tech, it just does not work as it should with my machine. |
