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!

Well done Olav, such an awesome upgrade to what is already the best bait boat app available!

[@TheCarpPilot]

Thanks! And rest assured, I am not comfortable resting on these nice improvements. Still far away from finished. The Carp Pilot Pro has become a truly amazing app, but working really hard making it even better :-)

Hello! Where can I find instructions on how to connect a Raymarine sonar to the Pixhawk Autopilot?

[@TheCarpPilot]

You connect the other way around: By adding in a serial to wifi (UDP) adapter you can link the telemetry of the pixhawk with the Raymarine sonar wifi. Then, when you connect your Android device to the Raymarine wifi you simply start Carp Pilot Pro and select UDP as connection option. And that is it.
In the build bait boat series episode 3 such an adapter was used by me for backup telemetry solution.
www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004552935510.html
Select a variant for PIX, with UDP and without external antenna (you do not need that as the adapter is inside the boat close to the raymarine).
When you plug it into say telem1 or telem2 port of the pixhawk it gets powered on. Use mobile, connect to the access point and enter address 192.168.4.1 in a browser. Then configure wifi to "station mode". With the raymarine powered on you can select that as the adapters access point. Save and reboot.
Note: The image delivered with this adapter cannot handle SSID of wifi longer than 16 characters. If you did not alter the SSID of your raymarine you will need an updated image and upgrade it. Info in the user forum linked below.

The Raymarine (WI-FISH) has enough wi-fi range or do I need some kind of wi-fi amplifier, if an amplifier is needed, can you recommend one? Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR, @@TheCarpPilot!

Hi I have a deeper chirp , could I make a map like this if I get this app ?

[@TheCarpPilot]

Yes you can
