Appreciating all the positive vibes! For those distracted by the glitch cuts, I'm incredibly sorry I didn't confer with you personally to discuss trialling something new. Please accept my most humble apology. 🤖 I look forward to watching your 20 minute tutorial on how to please everyone. 🤗

[@RANGUIDRY]

After several hours of searching for a tutorial video on CMAPS I finally landed on yours. I can't tell you how grateful I am that you posted this. I don't usually comment on video's, good or bad but this is an exemplary tutorial on Genesis. Thank you so much.

[@dosadosa112]

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Hey bud, I just got my new lowrance ti2 9inch, I found this very helpful, I can't wait to get this stuff done today

[@underhover69]

Love the editing mate, gone through most of your videos now and have picked up many tips. Really helpfull for people getting into boating. Videos on fishing gear for boating would be good to, so many rods and reels to choose from. Keep it up.

[@gregcurtisfishing3558]

Wow!! This is what I was looking for thanks for sharing this informative vid and I’m excited for more to come Cheers !!

[@bocheef]

Very helpfull ! I use cmap genesis as well but never eased the uploader like you showed, much faster thanks for the tip !

[@louisaliendi7568]

Hey mate, just wanted say your videos are awesome. Excellent topics and explanations as well as filming and editing. Have started making some of my own vids (Angling Untangled) and can only imagine the time you’ve spent to get the shots and make the vids look so legit. Hope you keep it up, they are appreciated 🤙🏼

[@GriftCo]

I'm gonna sleep like a baby tonight! Its nice to hear feedback like that! Subscribed to your channel - keen to learn some things!

[@FireFly908]

You got my attention with you mentioned "Port Hacking"! 😉

[@stephenc85]

Yes yes yes - thanks, this is quality content!

[@GriftCo]

Wow - it's really been a while since I've released a video! I do apologise for the wait on this video folks, I wanted to make sure I got it right and made it as easy to follow as possible. If you want to see something in particular, please feel free to shoot me a comment.

[@soobz]

Excellent video👍👍

[@BrianFishing]

extremely helpful video!! awesome feature that I didn't even know was an option for my Lowrance Elite FS. thank you!! 🎣😎

[@kieran3237]

Thank you..this video really helped me.

[@davemarshall5936]

Well worth watching

[@jasonhextell8977]

Hey mate, first time to the channel but super glad I watched this. I've had C-MAP before but the simplicity in how you explain the data recording process is awesome. I'll be sending this to a few friends for their ease as well. Of note you started to discuss custom depth shading but didn't really go into the settings of how to set it up on the screen or if the custom colours could be changed to suit my preferences. Is this something you can explain further? If not I'll keep googling. Well done on the video!

[@GriftCo]

Thanks mate - the only reason I didn't get into detail about it is I imagine the process is different on most sounders. I think this video shows the crux of how to do it.

[@taimenentaltuttaja5204]

Hi! Is it possible to download the genesis map on top of cmap card map and improve it bit by bit that way or does it automatically create a new map that is just blank on those spots that haven´t been scanned with genesis?

[@FAKE-NAME]

Help please need advice on maps and lowrance isn't very helpful C-maps vs navionics + On a lowrance hook reveal 7 tripleshot. I'm used to navionics on my phone and tablet and love it what I'm wondering about trying the cmaps card that came with my Souder for now but if I decide I don't like it and still want navionics + is it as simple as just changing the SD card? Could I load the cmaps from the card into sounder memory itself and then stick in navionics + card so I would have 2 sets of maps?

[@agenciaadhoc]

I love the video, super clear. I have a SD Card with my CMAP plotter chart. I have copied the folders with the AT5 files on it and my Hook Reveal creates new CHART. I want to include these maps as a Genesis look on top of my CMAP charts instead of these maps being another CMAP charts. Is this possible?

[@gdaam1377]

Thanks for the video. I have a Lowrance Hook Reveal which is on the list of compatible devices but when I place the SD card in nothing happens and I can't select it as a chart option... any ideas how to use it would be awesome :) Cheers

[@danponch]

Do I need to keep the sd card in the unit or is there a way to transfer the maps onto the unit so I can remove the card?

[@rudbeckia885]

Sim card that was sent doesn't fit cruise 5 ....very frustrating

[@pro5110]

Great video but the site is not working.. in EU (503 Service Temporarily Unavailable) in iexpolore and chrome. anyone know why ?

[@Crazyben87]

Do you know if you can use genesis maps with an upgraded navionics card?

[@henryclark5486]

I'm wondering what's the difference between C-map Genesis and C-map Reveal? I believe Reveal may be coastal

[@RobertMartinez-ps3vs]

Do you have to have a SD card in order to download correct ?

[@joecassar2210]

How can download the maps to my phone and transfer them to my hook revel 7

[@johnnylemoin19]

how are you hooking you screen to Power to use in your House ???????

[@pedroalanhr]

Hello! I would like to know if it possible to extract the contour lines in a file easily readable in a GIS software?? I'm using a LOWRANCE HOOK with research purposes and It would be great if I can use this countour lines to create a model of the lake I'm studying. thanks in advance!

[@GriftCo]

Hey Pedro, I tried a long while ago (5+ years) to be able to download the maps and try and convert them into an accessible file type but never got very far with it/ determined it wasn’t feasible. That said, it was a long time ago and things may have changed. Sorry I can’t be more help than that

[@DetroitRiverMaster]

Great video you covered almost all my questions i had before Watching. I just have one question? Do you have to pay Cmap the $60 something dollars a year to be able to add color shading to our maps or can i do it straight from my lowrance unit? I have the hook reveal 9 im not sure if that makes a huge difference in my question.. Thank you very much for taking the time to put this great video together. Tight lines 🐟🎣

[@GriftCo]

Hey mate - and thanks for the kind words! I don’t believe the coloured contours are an additional cost from C-MAP, at the very least I did not pay for it to use on my Elite Ti2 units. If you can’t do it on your reveal 9, I suspect it’s likely a limitation of the unit, otherwise it may be a buried feature somewhere in your settings!

[@DetroitRiverMaster]

@@GriftCo Thank you very much, my friend, for the speedy response.. I'll be watching more of your videos tonight.. very well put together.. you understand your topic, great wealth of knowledge 👍 🙌🙏

[@aqeelismail7175]

Did you find an answer i have a hook reveal and read with navionics cant do relief shading but with this can you

[@DetroitRiverMaster]

@@aqeelismail7175 I ended up buying Cmaps card last week. I'm hoping I'll be able to figure it out soon, A friend of mine had the same unit a couple of seasons ago and said he was able to make it work with the colored contours.

[@MrWhiltetail]

If you get the paid membership and choose to keep your info private do you have to keep paying indefinitely to keep your data private? In other words, will they make your data public on the social map when you quit paying?

[@GriftCo]

I think it stays private! At least that's what happened when I had a premium account and saved the data privately, its not accessible in the social map and appears to still be private when logging in. However - whether the terms and conditions have changed since then is a different story!

[@andylam83]

Will this work with hook revel 7xts fish finder?

Hey. Just wondering have you teamed up with Drew M??

[@GriftCo]

We have collabed a long while ago actually! You can check out the video here; YELLOWFIN BREAM - Winter Topwater, we caught it in slow-mo with Drew M! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXfdnGWtr6l5edE

[@townsville69]

Great info. Going to try it on my SIMRAD. Btw the digital noise you use between edits is annoying af. Please stop using it.

[@GriftCo]

Can you be a bit more specific about what you mean about the digital noise? Certainly don't want to put together an irritating edit!

[@townsville69]

@@GriftCo I mean the transition between edits eg at 12:01. It's very jarring esp when used quite often.

[@GriftCo]

@@townsville69 Oh right - yep I get you now. Yeah. Trying something new, obviously not the best solution. Cheers for the heads up.

[@henryaguirre845]

"Sounda"???

[@johnp3224]

I bought a 32 gb SD card for $8, why would you get a 16 lol

[@GriftCo]

Yep! Micro SDs are so cheap these days. I erred on the side of a 16gb just because I knew the device would run smoothly with it, and because I actually had one laying about. But for $8 its hard not to give the 32gb a go. With that said, I've not yet run out of space on the 16gb card!

[@anthonylicata7281]

I'll give it a like for trying but can't watch because it pixelates at every scene break. It is so annoying as I'm already straining to pay attention and learn what is being taught. Need to watch again but can't. It is too uncomfortable to watch. Furthermore, it may actually throw people with epilepsy into spasm. Seriously dude!

[@GriftCo]

Really Anthony? Somehow a glitch wipe is worse than a star wipe, or a cross fade? Thanks for making it abundantly clear that even when you spend 100s of hours providing information for free, there's always gonna be some dude who wants to complain.

[@GriftCo]

​@@leemccullough558 You should get that checked out

[@paultiffin330]

Mate...just stop with the video effects, it's distracting and if it wasn't that I was looking on a how-to, I would have stopped watching. That "glitch" effect is annoying as hell.
