Using the LakeMaster features on HELIX G1 and older models?
- Go to the main menu by pressing ‘menu’ twice.
- Use the cursor control button to slide over to the Chart Tab. (Hint: When the Chart Tab is highlighted, press the ‘up’ arrow for a short cut to the bottom of the list)
- Look at Chart Select on the Chart drop down list to be sure you are choosing the slot that has the LM card in it. If you don’t have a 2nd card inserted, it should automatically choose the correct slot. The LakeMaster map will not display when Uni-Map or Contour XD or Humminbird Basemap is selected.
- Scroll to the bottom of the Chart Drop Down list to locate the LakeMaster Chart Functions.
- The exclusive patented features below should now be displayed:
- Depth Colors
- Depth Highlight
- Depth Highlight Range
- Water Level Offset
- Shallow Water Highlight
- Lake List
- NOTE: If these features are not visible, your card has not loaded into your GPS unit.
- Highlight any lake on the Lake List, press the right cursor key arrow, and that lake will appear on screen. If you are already located at a lake with LakeMaster coverage, and getting satellite reception, that map should already be on your chart screen.
- Alternatively, you can move around the map using the cursor control arrows to locate your destination. You will move ‘faster’ the more you are zoomed out.
- Notice the zoom level scale on screen, usually at the left side. You will see the chart data at the ‘1sm’ (1 statute mile) zoom level. As you press the ‘+’ zoom-in button the map will show more data.
