Naming maps for Lowrance with m= option from IMC? 8 years 2 months ago #10329

Is it possible to give a map a name when exporting from Reefmaster? I know in Insight Map Creator, you can use an Atlas Description on the advance options then say m=MyMapName. Then when you put your card into your Lowrance unit, it asks if you want to load the map or not. In this way, I can have multiple maps on the same card and select whichever I want to see at a given moment. Any way to do that when exporting a map from within Reefmaster?

Never mind....just saw that if I use manual export in AT5 format rather then the preset outputs, this is an option. For anyone interested, information is available in the manual at reefmaster.com.au/reference2/topics/idh-topic590.htm.

Yes, this feature is available from v2 but only when using the full AT5 export, not preset styles.

You could probably accomplish this by creating a mapping project and importing your SS mosaics (don't need to have any other layer in the project), then create a map from the project rather than just exporting the SS mosaic directly. I add SS mosaics to my maps all the time and they export... just fine with this new option working. I don't think there would be any reason you would have to import any depth tracks or other traditional stuff...it could just be SS mosaics in the project.

Thanks will give it a try and see how it looks.
