Title: Creating maps for Helix 5 GPS G3
Post by: tkalfaoglu on February 13, 2024, 02:22:46 PM

Hi there.. did anyone have any luck downloading maps of your area, then creating an SD-CARD  that Helix would like?
I'm curious as to what format it wants.
I don't mean the tracks that are created as we travel, I mean the entire map of your area.
Thanks, -t

You need the Zero Lines sd card.

Hi, you could take a look at this thread: http://forums.sideimagingsoft.com/index.php?topic=6040.msg62144;topicseen#new (http://forums.sideimagingsoft.com/index.php?topic=6040.msg62144;topicseen#new)
There is a way to make custom map for free. As long I was able to Google out, Helix 5 support color by depth option, so you could be golden. If you need any help with the process, feel free to ask. I use this method for years.
