It genuinely helps if you can accurately enter the "offset" for the current lake elevation. My last trip to Starvie showed that. I used the last reported lake level in feet, and entered that into my two Humminbird Helix units. It turned out that the last report was off by a couple of feet because the lake was still dropping. After I adjusted that, all the bottom contours meshed very closely with what I was actually seeing.
Safety as well as fishing success resulted. There were several areas where one could blithely zip across at normal lake levels, but were dangerously shallow then. Those areas showed as "Danger Red" on my corrected and adjusted maps.
