Thread: Autochart Live

Rees, They may be using a pair of 1197 units to map these lakes with but I don’t think that they are running any software that would make the maps live.

It should show up in your account when it is available but I will try and remember to post something when I see that it is released.
Did you have an ONIX 8 or 10?

Greg, ive got the new software installed

I posted this on Monday at BBC. Used 1.190 for a couple of weeks seeing what it would do.

Update 1.200 is supposed to come out this week. In addition to Auto Chart Live they have fixed bugs and sped up the loading time on views. Some observations:

1. Boot up time is a bit faster than it used to be and once you hit the "Confirm" button it goes straight to the views, not a delay there anymore.

2. Maximizing views is also faster, so is pinching to zoom and swiping for settings. Opening menus are also much better.

3. I don't hear the pinging coming from behind the unit anymore!!

4. Auto Chart Live is crazy good, especially if you are mapping out humps or river channels.

5. The Mosaic feature works really well also, especially on 360. I have only laid down a couple of tracks but so far it's very easy to use.

6. I uploaded my waypoints and they are all where they are supposed to be. I don't use waypoints for fishing usually, I mark stumps and dangers for the most part, so it's very easy for me to confirm whether they are in the right spot or not.

7. One of the new features involves the Fusion radios, sorry I can't comment on this since I don't have one. Might have to get one to see what that's all about.

8. I am running 3 Onix units and I have not had any freeze ups or weird problems while using the new update. With 1.150 I would lose the bow unit once in a while but that has not happened since updating.

The new update will take 4-6 minutes to load up and I can tell you it feels longer. So just be patient and the unit will reboot when everything is done. What I have done is save all my settings to a SD card then restore defaults before I update. I then insert the new SD card in and let the unit take care of the rest. On one of the units I had to go to the "Files" menu and get it going that way but it was no big deal. After the update is finished, I have gotten in the habit of restoring defaults again, just in case. I am pretty sure I don't have to do all that but I do it out of habit. After all is said and done I upload all my settings back in from the SD card and good to go.

Sorry for the long post, hope this helps.

The 1.200 software version is on the web site now (I just checked). Not sure when it was posted there as I had planned on checking it daily but got busy… sorry kosmo but at least you will have it for the weekend!
