Insight map creator was developed by navico for maps to be made from sonar or outside imagery (only legal if you're a certain someone). This writes the downloaded map in .at5 format that lowrance uses to display maps. Hummingbird will not recognize a .at5 file. This process will only work for lowrance or simrad units.

Let's just say I've had talks with lowrance about this..

FYI you can record your sonar on a memory card while on the water and upload it to IMC and make an exact contour map of your area.

It's my understanding that you can license from Navico for the at5 format for use in the commercial sale of maps. The imagery you use will require a separate license. The Standard map guy does not have a monopoly.
