That seems to be the answer. I only sorta know one guide, a member here who is in that situation. I think he has several cards for one lake. I’ve never filled one up?

I think multiple cards would be the answer. Maybe categorized or lake sections?

I use lake master map cards. Do I need a separate way point card?

Waypoints are stored in the unit memory ... they must be manually copied to a SD Card ...

Waypoints should never be transferred to a map card ...

I have 3 waypoint cards for Ky Lake from Ky Dam to Hwy 79 bridge. I also have a separate card for Barkley Lake,Mississippi lakes, Illinois lakes, etc. Changing cards several times a week can be a pain but has to be done. A Helix will hold 2750 waypoints.

The process of downloading waypoints from a Humminbird unit to an SD card is simple once you learn how to do it. Go to YouTube and look it up.

The free utility in Lake Images training is the easiest method I have found so far for splitting out Humminbird waypoints ... https://www.lakeimagestraining.com/

Here is the download for Humminbird PC … https://humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.c...birdpc-v-4-6-1



Note: when “choosing a file” in Humminbird PC or in the Lake Images utility you may have to locate the files desired ...

*Humminbird PC files are located in “MyDocuments/My_HumminbirdPC/GPX_Files”
*Files created in the Lake Images utility are located in “MyDownloads” on your PC

Also note: after importing your waypoints into Humminbird PC - if the new waypoints created (//A, //B, //C, //D) do not show as the first 4 waypoints under the “Name” column as seen in the video —> left click the column header box labeled “Name” to rearrange the order in which the waypoint names are listed ...

I would also note that it’s a good idea to have a master waypoint backup file and only work the Lake Images utility from a copy of your master backup file …

This will lessen the chance of corrupting your master waypoint backup file ...

Any advice on separating one card into multiple cards?

I’d like to have a card for each lake.
