Reviewing
Sonar Log Charts
I want to share something
for Lowrance users who have computer mapping software. I play my sonar
chart logs in the Emulator on one computer and connect it to another
computer with a serial connector. The Emulator exports the NMEA to my
mapping programs (LakeMaster or Fugawi) and you can see your position
on the mapping program while the sonar chart is playing. It even leaves
trails on the mapping software! I use this to review sonar logs in the
winter and make new waypoints on stuff that I missed. I stare at my
sonar on the water but I have found that I miss fish. This is bad! But
now I can go back and check those spots next year. If there are fish
there once, they will return. If you need help setting this up, call
Warren Parsons 651.982.1401. He is willing to give advice. Warren is
my tech support and makes maps for my Fugawi mapping software. LakeMaster
has accurate surveyed maps of lakes. 800.540.5747 or www.lakemaps.com
