The batrymetric abilities requires you to subscribe to Carp Pilot Pro premium features. For users of bait boats from Alien Baitboat and from DHconcepts these features are "all included" using their dedicated app versions.

The ability to make depth maps live requires either a built in autopilot (ArduRover), a wifi GPS (see separate video) or a wifi echosounder with ability to share depth data and position using NMEA0183 (most new Deeper models, multiple models from Lowrance, SIMRAD). If the echosounder has no wifi and only offers NMEA0183 out from a wired connection then a solution using an ESP (similar to the wifi GPS video) in combination with a wifi booster will do the trick.

The upgraded bathymetric editor was introduced and demonstrated at the Alien Baitboat stand in big carp fishing exhibition "Carp den Bosch" January 20-22nd. And it is hands down the best solution available at the moment for bait boat users that are interested in creating depth maps of their waters in an efficient manner: When you arrive on the bank, let the boat map your swim automatically (autopilot users) while you errect the bivvy and put together the rods. When you are done the map is available for you, then start to make a plan.

While live mapping is great, this video's focus is on what you do in the bivvy with the result afterwards. Using the editor you can draw shorelines for waters edge, and islands when they are present. The new version 4.4 introduced in den Bosch also includes the ability to generate "shaded relief" maps. Such maps are pseudo 3D, the visual 3D effect is created by "shining an artificial sun at the waters contours". Shadows will be cast behind big rocks and ridges. You may need to try out some alternatives, some waters are more difficult while others come out perfectly on the first try. Like demonstrated in the video. So just play around until you are satisfied!

Enjoy!
