Viewing Fishing Hot Spot from your computer

Does anyone know how to view fishing hot spots maps from your computer??
Eagle/lowrance say they do not have anything. It sure would be alot easier to set waypoints etc. in the comfort of my home in front of a computer.
Thanks

I can do it using Map Create.

thanks
that is true for mapcreate 6, however lowrance said they did not keep that feature when the made mapcreate 7 and fhs elite. I was hoping someone knew of a shareware software or something, but thanks for the response IBNFSHN.

Glad you told me about the new Map Create. I was thinking about upgrading to it.

Rut Row....Something is up....

Garmin, now Lowrance no maps for PC. Navionics going stag?

It can be done and I do it all the time. I just looked at lake weiss yesterday. I'm not good at telling this because not many have been able to do it. But it does works.follow the link and see. If it don't then PM my. turtle creek was my favor lake when I lived in Indy. Good luck........http://www.crappie.com/gr8vb3/showthread.php?t=47892

Whoa! I just paid $99 for MapCreate 7, and I thought something was wrong with my software, when it didn't show my 80+ Clarks Hill waypoints after transferring a *.usr file from my Lowrance!..

Sounds like I've been ripped off, because looking at my waypoints on the lake on my home computer is exactly what I bought it for!!

:mad: :mad:

You should be able to transfer your waypoints to mapcreate7 if they are .usr files. You just won't be able to view your fishing hot spots lake.

crip47...what year version of hotmaps are you using with the lowrance emulators? I have the 2008 version and can see the states but it will not read the maps.

I have a 2004 and a 2007. I don't think it matters.You have to move the map over to the state you what. That state should be all boxed off.
