If you don't mind, when you get a chance could you email the instructions to me? I'd really appreciate it. Email is tlkay@uno.edu

I will send it this evening. If you want a preview, you can look at the below YouTube video. It will at least let you know what programs you need to download.

Thanks for the quick reply...I've downloaded both programs and started a "trial" download of tiles for a certain area this morning.

I was able to complete the download of over 1.2 million tiles, but when I go the selection manager to export, there is no option in the "Map/Overlay layer" drop down for ArcGIS.Imagery. It took near 4 days to download the tiles (9.8 GB) and I've set the export selection to KML (Google Earth) and clicked zoom levels 13-20 (which I downloaded). Any thoughts on why the drop down list is grayed out? Prior to starting the download, I used the ESRI "ArcGIS Imagery" from the Maps drop down list on top ribbon. I've also tried downloading just one or two tiles and the "Map/Overlay layer" drop down list is still grayed out. Any thoughts?

Are you sure you downloaded the correct program. I just went and downloaded the latest SAS Planet and I have the ArcGIS.Imagery option.

Here is where I downloaded SAS planet LINK

Yes, I have the right programs. I went back and restarted a new download and checked in the Export tab and now its available. I was able to test it with a smaller map size and it worked. I'm now downloading a much larger area, so we'll see, but I was able to get the files (for the small map area) loaded into my Lowrance and work. Interesting enough, I couldn't get the Map Creator to recognize the files, so I had to use a separate computer, but overall it works.

The emailed instructions reference some downloaded google drive files. Does anyone have those, or should I ignore and be making my own areas?

Just bought a boat with a Humminbird Helix 7 on it. Everything I've seen in this thread looks like it's for Lowrance. Does anyone have instructions to make a card for a Hummingbird? I'd trade a whole bunch for one that someone made for Atchafalaya to Rigolets including Lake Maurepas and Lake P.

So is the Navionics 907p+ my only option? Anybody ever see the Lakemaster Louisiana Delta aerial view card? It's at least only $120 and has lake names, marinas, channels, etc. shown on it.

I have my map loaded and everything looks fine, except my trails/paths are missing. Before I loaded the map I had it set where is would just record everywhere I went, now that doesn't show. Is it a layering issue where the map is just above the trails and I can't see underneath? Or do I need to add a second blank memory card in order to record that data? It's a Lowrance HDS 12 gen 2. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated!

Okay... over 11 pages (and over a year) and nobody still hooked me up. I don't want instructions. I just want a card to put in my GPS.

Anyone out there can help... I'll pay.

Can I get the instructions please? Or a link to a video explaining? Saasstar@yahoo.com.

I’m pretty handy with this stuff if I can get a little guidance. I was able to mark all my spots and import to my TI7. This is likely similar?

WPB - Would you mind sending me those instructions as well.

I can work Plex Earth, CAD, Global Mapper. All which hopefully can handle these formats in one form or another. ArcGIS.

I sure would appreciate it!

WPB i would love to get the instructions as well. You are a godsend when it comes to this stuff. I'm not sure how i missed this thread, but somehow i missed it. I acquired a LA-1 card and am kinda disappointed. I'm fishing FL now and would like to make a card for that area too.

MahiFishn - I'm half way there with the youtube link above, great information.
I am however having a little trouble using the newest SAS.Planet software against the version in the 2014 video. Starting with a smaller test download over my house.
