Post by: Mobile steez on Apr 16, 2017, 11:09 PM

do you have any opinion about this?  I'm stretching my wings with this question so linking it to my own post doesn't help

If I pick up the autochart pro does that come with a rough base of what the lake looks like? It says it has an overlay lakemaster...does that mean if the lake is on the list that I can then go back and clarify in real time the lake exactly? please help

 You will love auto chart live for icefishing. You are able to make maps of small lakes that don't have any Mapping information. Also, like you said you can fine-tune already existing maps with an overlay. One of the best tools  in my arsenal.
