This is the most effective way of finding those hard bottom areas that we know bass love. The BT version of this software allows you to create a bottom type chart from the same recording. These charts become the background of your Lowrance / Eagle unit, with all your existing waypoints, routes and trails on top of the chart. You can now create high definition accurate charts that can be customized in many different ways. This program can also convert these maps to a Lowrance Chart Map, or LCM as it is known. The next thing you can do with this recording is to convert it to a 3D bathymetric object using a program like DrDepth that only costs around the same as a handful of crankbaits.
If you see something interesting you can pause, place your mouse pointer over the point of interest and a window will appear giving your cursor depth, bottom depth, position, date and time. The first of which is using SonarViewer, this is free software available from Lowrance that effectively plays the entire recording back on your PC like a video, with play, pause, stop, FF and rewind. This information is saved to a removable memory card that can be used in a number of ways on your PC. Sonar logging records longitude, latitude, depth, temperature, bottom type, and a host of other variables. Many of you might already have Sonar Logging on your sonar/GPS unit and just never realized it. Due to advancements in the bathymetry industry, you no longer need to buy a survey vessel, a couple of million Rands worth of hardware and a software package the same price as your first house in order to create your own detailed maps. The solution to this problem is bathymetry, namely the study of depth. Unlike the Great Lakes of the United States and hundreds of others that are mapped in the greatest of detail, we have very little. Have also got franson gate installed which is a port replicator so it can create loads of extra com ports with the same data, if I want to use the data for other apps at the same timeĭrDepth versus OLEX.There will come a time when you are going to want more detail and accuracy from your maps. Click to expand.the fishfinder has NMEA data out, arriving at COM2 on the PC (the pc is a small form factor dell desktop BTW footprint is about a foot cost 25 quid on ebay)Īdded the extra com port in maxsea, so com1 is the gps doings, com2 just reads the depth sentences, so maxsea combines the data for doing the 3d bathymetrics.
