Thread: 997 recording

I got to rearrange my web site to better cover this stuff. Expert? Casual user is better term. Right now I use three main programs, DrDepth, Fugawi and Global mapper and I shouldn't forget to mention the Humminbird 997 with the way it helps collect the data.

Fugawi is an excellent moving map software, I hear Ozimapper is too but I've only used Fugawi. It'll take in the Humminbird waypoints, track and trails export and is extremely handy for working with them. You can change names easily, sort them out and save and even share with other types of units like Lowrance then reload them on a chip and back into the unit.

Have you ever fished Devils Lake, ND?

Now if your talking about mapping a lake, DrDepth running on a laptop is the only way to go. It'll even let you create 3D maps for you to watch as you troll if your laptop is some what fast. http://www.accuemap.com/files/3d.gif I'm using the Humminbird 997 hooked to the laptop and its been great.

Really getting into mapping? Global Mapper is what I use to put together imagery and contours and stuff for the maps I sell to run in Fugawi. Just about all the map imagery on my web site was done with Global Mapper. It'll even let me process imagery like what you see for the Clearwater lake stuff with special functions to enhance. That image is actually two that when put together just right really showed up the shallows.
