DrDepth Version 4. It will generate the. Plus some other improvements. The contour lines will be in the. A new version of DrDepth is now available for download, using the links on your e-mail that you use for getting updates.
Version 4. After updating my c software to version 6. Now you are only able to see the depth labels. No trails showing the contour lines and no tracks that were saved with the previous 5.
I am trying to find out what is going on. I also installed Humminbird PC version 4. My try going back to version 5. Found a long way around how to load what we now have for maps. You need to load just the. Then delete the. Everything is loaded to the unit and shows up on the screen. Using the new Waypoint Management software in the unit, you can put in names for tracks or change anything else you want to name or change. The names for the. Upload the files to the new Humminbird PC, version 4.
I changed the colors of my tracks, the style of track line and depth labels in my DrDepth maps. I also change the name of the. That represents the year, area or lake and the date the file was made. That way I can always use that file for loading when going to the same area again to fish and use as a base map.
I save that file to my computer in my Navigation folder under the state; year and date. That way I just need to upload that file to my SD card before I go fishing and load it into my unit. Here is a snapshot I took after going thru this process for one of my maps: This is a map made in 1' increments and is kind of busy if zoomed out too far, but for trolling zoomed in is just fine.
The map is laid over a Lakemaster map with the contour lines turned off. This is the best I can come up with until Per is able to find a work around. Per, DrDepth software developer, has been real busy with new updates for DrDepth. The newest update is version 4. Things are much easier now to create a map for Humminbird units. Also Doctor Sonar has made a video show how easy it is to make a map for Lowrance products. Everything is the same except you have to select the Humminbird options instead of the Lowrance options.
So you CAN export maps to humminbird units now? Yes you can! Now, is that overlayed onto a map already? Because im in Canada and theres no basemap, plus my lake hasnt been mapped by navionics or by others. So do you know if i could still make it work? Also, can you add the depth labels when exporting? I think you can have the depth label but not sure.. What you see here is the basemap, which didn't contain my lakes.. You can easily add the contour track prior to the Drdepth mapping.
Atleast you have a base map to work with Is your lake outlined on the basemap, or did you put that in yourself? My lake is not outlined so its just a blank screen Yes, you will have the depth labels as waypoints when you click on Yes, when the Do you want to generate a waypoint label file? The contour lines will be the. HWR file. You can use Humminbird PC software to change the waypoints symbols if you want to. Can you make more waypoints so you can see more depth labels?
I see yours are quite spreadout You have to remember that the map is zoomed in to 50' in that snapshot. This map I made is made at 1' contours so there are many contour lines because the bottom has many depth changes. Here is what the same map looks like zoomed out to '.
Is there somwhere option to increase countour lines to map? I need more countour lines to get detail bottom map to my unit. You change the amount of contour lines with DrDepth depth range adjustment Toolbar buttons. A depth range of 10 to 20 will give you contour lines every 1' of depth.
Use the depth range adjustment buttons to give whatever amount of contour lines you want. Thank you albe! That answer resolved my problem. No you can't transfer the map to the Humminbird unit. Humminbird's units will only show maps that are designed for the Humminbird Units right now.
I'm disappointed in this fact myself. The problem is that today I went out on one of these lakes and found out that the Lake master Map it NOT accurate and it's off by many feet on the contour Lines.
She was dressed for warmth and it was cold that day and I suspect she did a half assed job and didn't make enough passes on the lake to get a good accurate data set. I saw her doing the last few passes by the launch ramp and they were very far apart and not adequate. BTW You can use a program like Autocad and fill in the missing data to make the maps have 1 ft contours but that won't make those contours any more accurate. Gargage in equals garbage out. I roamed all over that lake this morning for about 3 hours and was disappointed in the accuracy of this maps.
Humminbird wants you to have to buy the maps from them as they only will let you use the maps for Lakemaster in the future as Johnson Controls purchased the Lake Master Company recently. Lake master had a good reputation for accuracy from what I heard before this purchase. I'm wondering if they don't care that much about quality control anymore? Perhaps this was just a big mistake and they counted on IDNR to give them more accurate data.
He just happens to be a close personal college friend of mine from way back when we went to Purdue University together. I've got a photo of the girl who did the survey as I took some pictures of her in the boat that she and this other guy were using the map Bluegrass Pit that day. I've got the photo dated so I can prove when she was there.
I'm thinking that she figured no one would know but I figured out what she did pretty easily once I checked the maps accuracy on my Humminbird today. Quote from: fresque93 on December 05, , PM. Okay, some false info here You are just limited by the number of lakes you can put. I'm pretty sure that I read on the Dr Depth web site that it won't let you make maps for the Humminbird Units? Perhaps I read that wrong. Can you provide a link to where it says you can do that?
This is what I have to say:. Just look at the maps above that I have posted showing what a map made with DrDepth looks like on a Humminbird unit.
Read the manual for DrDepth and it will show you how to make a map for Humminbird units. Hey Albe: Thanks for clearing that up. I was not aware that we could do that. But I still didn't get a map for the third lake I fish. And the makes that Lake master made are not as accruate as I thought they might be. Some area are way off by a hundred feet or more. I show my boat sitting on the 15 ft contour line and I'm showing the water depth at 8 ft.
So I'm wondering if I make my own maps and use many more data points that they would be more accruate. This is good news. I have a lake master map of the lake I fish and I'd like to modify some of the depth contours that are not right. Some areas on the map that are shown as being only 8 ft deep are actually 19 ft deep. The Map is off in some areas where the lake scan data was not done right or something. Quote from: albe on December 03, , PM. A new version 5 was released this past week.
Make sure you read the download and installation instructions VERY carefully and follow them step for step. For those of you that have Norton installed, I had to download the. Norton kicked out the. Per is working on a solution to the problem, but at least you can install the new software by following the instructions Per gave to change a file extension and then use it to install the software.
You will find information on the user page on how to activate DrDepth 5. Then simply after you install the new Dr Depth Software on your computer you can Re-Enable your firewall software. That's what I would do anyway to make sure that the Dr Depth Download is not corrupted by the firewall software.
The Norton problem now has been fixed and you can download the. Albe p. Version 5. If Humminbird does not allow custom mapping soon, i will have to sell my and buy a Lowrance. Pages: [ 1 ] 2 Go Up.
