Ok... I have been busy using my Sonar Phone T Box, and Navionics Boating USA... Just got done Mapping Lake Absaracca...

This T Box setup is the coolest! The T Box sends a WIFI signal to my Smart Phone or Tablet, and Boating Usa uses the GPS on my phone or Tablet to send the signal to Navionics to make underwater maps! Let me know what you think!

Looks good my friend. I know you have been working hard on getting that small lake mapped.

Don't let the size of a lake fool you. I know that you don't do that. You would fish in a mud puddle if you had heard that there were browns and kokanee in there! On the way back from Green River the other day I looked south from Rawlins, couldn't even see Elk Mountain from the snow that was falling, and the rain on the windows!

Ahhhhhhhhh my friend you know me to well. I know that you would fish a sewer pond if you thought it had bass in it.[]

Any plan to share the map with others as KML/Shapefile etc.

I for one would like to see what you are using to make maps like this. I have a helix 10 on my boat that is making maps similar to this when I am driving the boat around but on small ponds like this that isn't possible so I'd like to see your set up.

All maps made using navionics are automatically uploaded to their site and shared with everyone correct? I think that is the way it works because I just scrolled over to that area and downloaded the most recent data on the phone app and the map that you created is now there.

I thought my post explained how Navionics Boating USA worked. You can download Navionics Boating USA to any Smart Phone or Tablet. Not sure if some other GPS / Sonar units can also use Navionics but my maps are there for all others to use. Go to Navionics.com open the web app they are there... Enjoy

Yes once the lake is mapped it is on Navionics and is useable by others!
