The difference is as follows; You  pick the area you want to map and make a series of passes over and around the area while recording, this applies to both autochart basic, pro, & live. With Autochart basic & pro you have to upload the recording to a pc and convert the map file, then upload it to your zero lines card, then put it back in your unit to see your map. With live it does the whole deal live as your recording, so you could map an area and fish it right then with no need to do anything else. You could also be recording while your fishing and making a map and fishing at the same time. I had a chance to play with it a little over last weekend on my new Helix units ( 9 & 10) and its slick.[/QUOTE]

I understand "live"  no need for pc.  Can I copy someone elses info or better yet add it to mine to make a better "live" chart.  I have been told info is unique to zeroline card.  You can give it to someone to put in their unit but it cannot be copied?[/QUOTE]

Yes you can share mapped data. Below is directly from their website.

"The ONIX, ION, and HELIX come with enough memory to record up to 8 hours of data . If you need more, then you will need to purchase the Zero Lines Map card . The Zero Lines Map card will give you years of record time as well as the ability to share maps with your friends. Check out AutoChart Pro  and AutoChart PC  for even more mapping features."

I think you might still need PC software if you want to map an entire large water body.[/QUOTE]
