Location: davis,IL | I had a couple of slightly older units last year ( 597 & 798) that I was working with along with Autochart Pro. Never could quite get the recordings to convert correctly on the pc. With the Helix's you can watch it make the maps as your going along, really cool. Your also not stuck with staying on the recording screen, I did a split screen today, chart with track on one side and regular 2d on the other. The depth contours appear right behind your boat icon (track) on the chart as you move along. As long as you have the sd card unlocked you are recording and doing the conversion to the zero lines card live, so no need to upload anything to your pc. |
