Thread: Maps and screenshots

I wouldn't think you could as long as the map card was in the slot. I think most map cards are "read only" cards, so you couldn't "write" anything to them like a screenshot picture. You "could", however, put a blank sd card in the slot long enough to take some screenshots, then replace the card with your map card. Cumbersome, I know ... but, with only one slot available that's probably the best you can do.

I took many screenshots when I was using my Lowrance Elite 5 DSI unit (1 slot) and didn't have a map card for it. But, now that I have a Hook 7 & a map card for it, screenshots won't be my primary use for that slot. But, then again, I haven't had the unit/card in use (yet), so there is a small chance that the map card won't be all that much help ... so I could end up with a blank card in this unit & posting screenshots once again.

I kinda need screenshots so that I can remember water temps and depths for my log book. Old age and forgetfulness are a booger bear. It's not alzheimers yet I don't think I'm old enough for that yet.

I have a Solix and not a Helix, but can the Helix store screenshots internally? That's what I do with the Solix--take a number of screenshots while fishing and then when I get back to the dock, copy the images down to the SD card, then delete those screenshots on the Solix. Not sure if you can do that with a Helix, but I'm sure someone will know.

Just watched a YouTube video on it. Doesn’t look like it does. It actually showed having to put a blank card in.

Put a small notebook/pen in a gallon (or quart) sized ziplock bag and keep it in the boat. Write down those factors and then transfer them to your log book. That way you only have to remember two things .... (1) notebook is in the boat -- (2) use the notebook when you would normally take a screenshot.
