Insight Map Creator

Navicos mykvare for å lage dybdekart (Insight Genesis) har fått et nytt tilskudd, Insight Map Creator.

Poenget fra Navico sin side er at man kan lage:
- kart basert på skannede papirkart, feks NVE sine dybdekart
- lage kart i AT5-filformat fra Open Street Map Data
- lage vektorbaserte kart fra bathymetriske data.

MEN dette gjør også at det dukker opp en mulighet som passer brukere av Reefmaster (les; meg) i stand til å gjøre om Reefmasterkartene til AT5-filformat som passer perfekt i Lowrance og Simrad sine kartplottere og kombinasjonapparater.

Det er også vært å nevne at Map Creator er GRATIS. :)

Hva er vitsen?
- AT5-formatet er det formatet kartene fra Insight Genesis har, ergo et format Navico satser på.
- AT5 formatet gir mulighet for å bygge lag på lag i dybdekartet, som gir en tilnærmet sømløs overgang når man zoomer inn og ut. (Med LCM løses dette ved flere kartfiler, og så bytter kartplotteren mellom filene avhengig av zoomnivå).
- Bildeliknende kart som ser veldig fine ut, og som gir mulighet for å legge på bilder av sjøbunnen fra StructureScan på kartet.
- Mulighet for å lage kart med bunntyper i kartet, Feks hard bunn eller myk bunn.
- Mulighet for å lage fargekoding i kartet som standard, dvs legge på farge etter dyp eller symboler for å markere grunner, sjøkabler, vrak etc.

Reefmaster kommer med en oppdatering etterhvert, tilpasset eksport til Map Creator. For øyeblikket må du bruke et tredje program for å konvertere LCM-filen fra Reefmaster til et av formatene som Map Creator godtar.

Mer info kommer når jeg får testet dette selv. Ikke hold pusten for dette var high-tec så jeg trenger litt tid og noen pils før jeg har fordøyd de 46 sidene med engelskspråklig teknikkspesifikasjon som utgjør bruksanvisningen. :)

The perfect settings for Lowrance? A guide on how to set up your 2D-sonar part I.

Perhaps the most repeated question in Facebookgroups and forums regarding marine electronics: "What are the best settings?" The bad news is that there is no uniform answer to that. The good news is that you can adjust settings according to conditions if you have a little knowledge as to what settings you should tweak and why. Here is part 1 of our guide to get the most out of your unit in regards to settings.

What is the difference between HDS Carbon and HDS Live?

Here we go again, a new generation of the Lowrance HDS. And with that Facebook and the different forums are flooded with questions referring to the difference between the new and the old. So what is the difference between Lowrance HDS Live and HDS Carbon?

Lowrance Elite Ti2 versus Elite FS

  When Lowrance launches a new mid-range unit, it is a big deal. Forums and Facebookgroups light up with questions on the new stuff, differences towards the old stuff and questions on compatibility. As usual, we in Team Colibri will try our best to sort that out, both on a technical level and with a more practical in-your-boat approach.

Lowrance Hook 2 versus Lowrance Hook Reveal

You have to hand it to Lowrance when it comes to the name of their new entry-level line of sonar and chartplotters. We all want to hook up, and what better way to do that then by having our marine electronics reveal to us where the fish are?

What is the difference between Lowrance HDS Live and Elite Ti2?

Lowrance as a brand of marine electronis is well known to all anglers, but the differences within their range of different models seem to cause quite a few questions out there. Here we will try to outline the difference between Lowrance HDS Live (top end) and Lowrance Elite Ti2 (middle range). Lowrance Elite Ti2 vs Lowrance HDS Live (photo; lowrance.com) As usual, we will start with the tech and then try to translate those technical aspects to practical differences while out on the water. Hardware - housing, screen and connections. The screen and housing on Elite Ti2 is the same as on the previous Elite Ti, and again more or less the same as on HDS Gen 2 Touch. (The memorycard-door and mounting-bracket is different from HDS Gen 2 Touch.) This is by no means new stuff, and compared to the more advanced housing and screen on HDS Live, Elite Ti2 is starting to show its relative age. However, with that in mind it is worth noting that when looking at the competition, several of ...
