Downloading and overlaying satellite imagery to a Lowrance? - 08/13/15 04:25 AM
So I've finally upgraded from an Elite 7 to a Lowrance HDS-8. I'm really big on using my electronics and love importing waypoints from Google Earth onto an SD card to upload to my graph. Does anyone know how to download the satellite imagery of the lake you are looking at, convert the file, and upload that imagery as an overlay onto your graph?
I've been researching a lot of old tutorials and most of them are vague about the actual downloading and importing process. A lot I find also recommend using "Nav Planner". Is there a way to avoid buying their expensive software? (Its also only for PC's, is there a Mac equivalent?) Is there another software program you can use?
Any help or tips you have about how you better utilize your graphs would be appreciated!
Edit: Sorry Mods, just realized there is a sub just for this, feel free to move.

On the above thread all the links with articles about what I'm looking for are dead links. Anyone know where to find these webpages?
