Have you ever been to a lake that has no lake map? No details on the secrets that the lake may hold. Maybe its a small state lake or a gravel pit or even a farm pond. Without spending thousands of dollars with a cartographer or mapping expert you can now create your own lake maps for just over 100 bucks. Topography, 3D elevations, bottom hardness and a full lake map that can be added to an SD card and used in your electronics...sounds great huh?
We saw this program in action this week and its called DrDepth.
DrDepth is a software application that runs on either a PC (Vista/XP/2000/NT4/ME/98 etc) or a Pocket PC (Pocket PC/Windows Mobile 2003 or later). DrDepth creates bathymetric maps from position and depth data delivered by your GPS and sounder. DrDepth can be used for mapping both on and off the water.
