With an external map card and HDS Live or Elite Ti2, you can customize the shading on your charts. With custom colors, you can highlight specific depths, whether the fish are biting or you're avoiding dangerous shallow waters.

It’s about time Lowrance produced and delivered a technical instructional video like this. I watched an earlier video by Mike Ike. Thereafter, I invested over a dozen hours to achieve what this video could have produced for me in minutes. Works perfectly on an older Elite Ti also. Thank you so much.

Bought Elite 9 ti2 because it was advertised as coming with in built Cmap of Australia. had massive amounts of contours, but no ability to change shading. First and last time I buy Lowrance. My small 5 inch and cheap Garmin unit has had this for 10+ years...

So the C map that’s loaded on the Ti2 units is not the one you need for the shading ? My Ti2 9s came preloaded with C map.

I would love to use your card and be able to take advantage of this feature on my HDS Live units. I fish Lanier mostly....I need one for GA. I heard one was being released for GA but last conversation I had with you folks at Lowrance, there was nothing in the works for GA. You have every state around GA...why so long for us?

@@lowrance unfortunately for me your support team told me Cmap would work if I subscribed. So I subscribed even though when I bought the unit I was assured that it would do depth shading on all maps as is. That turned out to be incorrect as did “if you subscribe to c-map it will work. Lowrance was a good company. But it appears that is no longer the case.

@@lowrance will this shading option work with the built in C-MAP installed on our units or do we need to purchase a C-MAP SD card, insert card and then modify the shading? I have a HDS Carbon with latest 20.1 software and built in C-MAP US Enhanced. Even though I have set up shading exactly like in the video, it is showing all bodies of water in red with no color depth changes.

@Foes1969 3 жыл бұрын

I figured out the issue. Went to Basspro and enabled shading on all their display models and it did not work. All the water turned red. I bought a C-MAP chip and now shading is working. So shading does not work with default C-MAP charts loaded on your graph, you must buy a C-MAP chip.

I fish 100 days a year on a 750 acre lake that does not even show on the C map base map on my Ti2. So I am in the process of mapping it. Having to use a C Map card for shading means I have to remove my card that has my map on it. This lake has an extremely diverse bottom and the shading is really necessary. I am the only person who has ever mapped the entire lake so I know the contours are not on the c-map card. So unless I can use Genesis live over the top of the c-map card this unit is useless. My Helix units come with the color shading ability built in and it makes all of the difference in the world on this lake. Please tell me I am wrong.

I just watched 3 or 4 KZfaq videos on how to do it so I knew what I was doing when I got into the menu section. So far, it allowed me to get into menu, more options, chart options... but it does not have "shading" listed when I scroll down. That is the next step, but it is not showing up on my screen when I try to scroll down. Any suggestions? Thanks so much if anyone has any advice. 👍👍
