Reefmaster med egen sonarviewer

Da er den endelig offentlig tilgjengelig, programvaren jeg har brukt det siste året eller så får å se på mine egne ekkoloddopptak.

Jeg har altså hatt gleden (og litt frustrasjon innimellom) av å være med på å teste denne programvaren nesten hele veien fra idestadiet og til lansering. Tanken har vært å lage et program som gjør at man kan se på sine ekkoloddopptak (sonarlogger) på en PC. Programmet måtte være billig nok til å friste så mange som mulig, og enkelt nok til at alle som er i stand til å se feriebildene sine på en PC skal kunne bruke det. En lisens for inntill to PCer koster 49 USD i engangskostnad.

Men nok om meg, la oss se på hva programvaren kan gjøre.

Programvaren er kompatibel med:

Lowrance
Simrad
Garmin
Humminbird (inkludert ONIX)

Felles for alle disse merkene er at de har minst en modellserie som kan ta opp ekkolodddata fortløpende. Dette kan være både tradisjonelt ekkolodd (2D) og skannende ekkolodd (sidescan/downscan). Programmet er også CHIRP-kompatibelt for disse merkene.

Du kan enkelt justere på paletten du ønsker, hastighet for avspilling, sette waypoints som kan eksporteres fra programmet og importeres tilbake i kartplotteren din, måle avstand mellom objekter du ser i ekkoloddopptaket og mye mer.

For ordens skyld: Som takk for hjelpen med testingen har jeg fått programvaren gratis. Jeg har ikke mottatt noen andre goder fra Reefmaster.

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 ...
