If you have not already, download and install onto your HDS sonar/GPS unitВ LowranceвЂ™s most-recent software update.We created the custom color palette depth shading shown above byВ following these steps: Here are a few examples of what your C-MAP Genesis maps will look like after applying custom color palette depth shading, compared to what they look like without custom shading (article continues below images): And to help us prevent shearing off our lower unit or getting stuck, weвЂ™ll use a custom red color palette to highlight a no-go/danger depth range. To help us more easily target those вЂњfish hereвЂќ depth ranges in our hypothetical tournament, weвЂ™re going to customize them with the attention-grabbing colors of gold and magenta.

Pro Tip: Synch your HDS unit with MotorguideвЂ™s xi5 Pinpoint Lowrance Gateway, and you can easily set a custom path that your trolling motor can autopilot your boat to follow your custom-color-shaded depth contours! WatchВ thisВ videoВ to learnВ how.ДЇor the sake of example, weвЂ™ll imagine a use-case scenario in which weвЂ™ve determined, after three consecutive days of practicing for a late-summer bass tournament on MinnesotaвЂ™s Lake Minnetonka, that largemouth bass are biting in 12 to 17 feet of water and that smallmouth bass are biting in 21 to 27 feet.ItвЂ™s saidВ that at any given time, 90% of the fish are in 10% of the lake - with this new feature, youвЂ™ll be able to easily highlight that fish-holding 10% on your map and catch more and bigger fish. At a glance, C-MAP chart users can more quickly identify dangerously shallow areas, more efficiently troll the most productive portions of the water column, and more easily find fish-holding high spots and holes.ДЄll that and more is possible thanks to a feature that allows the users of select C-MAP charts* to choose and set custom color palettes to highlight multiple depth ranges on the contour maps they use on their compatible Lowrance and Simrad sonar/GPS units.
