My guess is that this would need to be done in the AutoChart PC software (although I don’t know the steps myself)  ...

Maybe someone will pop in with help  ...

Hello, my question is about Merging old onix zero lines maps with helix autochart live maps. Many years ago I mapped out several lakes on my old 1199 unit to an sd card and later on the computer put them on my zero lines card. I have upgraded to a helix 12 unit and have gone over areas of the same lakes. I would like to merge this data if possible. Right now I can only have one or the other. Is there a way to do this? I am also looking to upgrade to a xplore unit and would still like to keep my old maps and data if possible. I appreciate any help you could give me!

Thank you!

Well, everything I learned about the AS GPS HS and its NMEA 0183 sentences is in that Git project. It has everything you need to build your own GPS receiver and magnetometer with an Arduino and a little coding. Consider this my way of repaying the help I’ve received here and from the open-source community, as well as the help and support I haven’t received from Humminbird over the years.

A full step-by-step guide will follow for non-programmers and fishermen with minimal DIY experience, but for now I don’t have a fully refined product. It is still a work in progress.

So if you want to jump the line or speed things up, send me an email. Any support is welcome.

BTW: it is $PTSI160,V1,V2,HHH*CS
Field   Meaning   Unit   Notes
V1   Pitch   Integer degrees   Positive = nose up. Range observed: 3–8.
V2   Roll   Integer degrees   Negative = port side down, positive = starboard side down. Range observed: -15 to +1.
HHH   Magnetic heading   Integer degrees   0–359. Must match $GPHDG.

HumViewer / Re: HumViewer - Viewer of humminbird files

Posting here first in case anyone else still has interest in using HumViewer on an ongoing basis.
I discovered an edit to the "runHumViewer.cmd" file that anyone can do and make it work. I just did it and have HumViewer working on my Windows 11 Pro PC.
Posting is moot if everyone has moved to Reef Master or other. I'll start another thread later. Figured starting here was most respectful to Martin (mrj9600).

Well similar project here. Any update from anybody ?
I'm tiring to setup Holybro M9N GPS to use with Helix. It is 6 time cheaper and many time more precise and modern unit than original HB puck AS GPS HS.
