Map Making

Thanks Kosmo. That is what I wanted to know. It looks like the same process that I go thru using Mapwell map making for Garmin.

I talked to Lowrance customer service. No one know much (bs) about the Insight mapmaker. The referred me to NAVICO map making division in Europe. Their English is not English to me. We are working via email.

I should be able to put this raster image of the lake on the HDS. I know I can put it on my Garmin handheld.

Where did you find the older map?

Google Earth time clock. If you go to Google Earth and click on the clock in the task panel, a slide bar will open. You can go back in Google Earth history timeline. I have made maps of this area from the BW timeline until present.

There are no maps available except the printed ones at the Lake store.

Here is a Google Earth snapshot of the lake as it begins to fill. This map ison my tablet which has a moving map APP.

Thanks......Didn't know that. Sounds extremely valuable.

You can set Google Earth parameters so the Earth doesn't automatically rotate when you mouse around. I use zoom and grid to manipulate flat surface earth for snapshots (print screen function) for the map images. Takes some practice, but not too complex for us crappie fishermen. Bassmen, well they are hopeless.
