I own a helix 5 SI. I'm interested in Autochart by Hummingbird, of course, but I've heard that this is an alternative. I have two questions, one, once the trial is over, what is the purchase price (haven't seen it anywhere yet), and two, when a map has been created using data I've collected, I can load it on the chip in the Humminbird and use it, or do I need a special card, like the zero lines card? Thanks in advance for any info.

I've checked the official website, but I don't think that Hummingbird offers a trial version for Autochart. The version listed on their website is indeed working with the device you have, but I didn't see a way to download and obtain the trial. This goes for the price as well. They don't offer one and based on my knowledge, you will have to request a quotation and then the prices will be communicated to you.
Yes, DrDepth should be able to work with separate sounder and separate GPS connected via RS232 at 4800 bps on a Windows XP SP3 system.
Yes, the DrDepth program for Windows should be able to work with latitude, longitude, and depth data for mapping purposes.
