Overview
AutoChart PC North America is designed for anglers who want to turn their own sonar and GPS recordings into custom lake charts. It works with Humminbird data to help you survey a lake, convert that information in the PC program, and then load the finished map onto the included Zero Lines Map Card for use on compatible Humminbird units. The process is straightforward, but it does require recording data first and then transferring it through the software workflow. It is intended for North America, excluding Alaska, and is suited to users who want a personalized mapping setup based on the waters they actually fish.
