    Chart Select is for those that fish different lakes in two regions....Or if you are going to lets say be on vacation and visiting a lake once in a while in another region than your home region.

    The other advantage would be the additional features that Lakemaster has on the birds. If you have one lake you fish a lot that has a lot of water level fluctuations....or you want to do a follow the contour with the i-pilot link.

    The supported units list has grown quite a bit...I fish the Mississippi river 90% of the time...and only 2 pools of it. For $20 I can get the charts I need, add $15 for the microSD cards and that's $35. Saves me about $90 over buying the entire Lakemaster card. Now when there is an AutoChart in microSD I can have an easier time of talking my wife into that one lol

    Start talking matzilla.
    We are now using the mSD sized memory cards for the ZeroLines mapping cards. Problem is that I don’t know of a way to tell which it is that you will be buying, so you may want to contact the Humminbird Customer Service folks and ask them. 1-800-633-1468

    Greg, I'm downloading the 2 river pools I need tonight from chart select - just picked up a pair of cards last night and will be updating my Helix this evening. But I'd like to have AutoChart to custom map the smaller lakes/ponds that I fish as well. I'll be adding that to my line up by the end of this year.

    To tell you the truth I wish HB had an all in one solution that I could use to manage everything with. Waypoints, routes, tracks, screen shots, recordings, maps, software, etc all in one pc program. I'd like to insert my Lakemaster Card into my laptop, browse the map, mark waypoints on the map, have that waypoint automatically saved to a temp folder, insert a blank sd card, export the waypoint and transfer to my head unit. I'd like to be able to take an image file (existing pdf of a lakemap) and import it to this program to view and mark waypoints then transfer those the same. I would LOVE to be able to take maps of my local lakes/ponds and push them to my HB unit. I wish I could have a way to select a waypoint and see the related DI screenshot from that waypoint without digging back through my recordings...some linking would be awesome. A lot of people would rather tinker around with things like this on a computer vs sitting in your boat late at night lol! HB PC gets me halfway there, but it could be taken a lot further.

    Here is an example...for bodies of water that the user has an existing map such as lake belvedere iowa:
    http://www.iowadnr.gov/Portals/idnr/...maps/bdl54.pdf
    I could open the pdf in the HB application
    Mark some waypoints on this map in the application
    Overlay the map on say Google earth by defining GPS anchor points
    Export the map image file, gps anchor points, and waypoints to a card
    Insert the card into my Helix
    The Helix reads the map just like a Lakemaster chip

    Right now I do this process on my phone using an Android Map called simply CustomMaps...I am tired of using my phone instead of my fish finder lol
