    Default Using GPSBabel for HB waypoint conversion.


    This is what I do and it works fine. No cables, etc required. Convert about anything to HB format.

    I quick format my SD before I use it. This keeps my SD clean. Use at your own risk.

    Works like a charm. Make sure you send the folder to the card and not a shortcut, works a lot better that way. :D
    Also, if you don't have a way already, easygps is free and you can edit your point list to suit you. Your points come up on a split screen with pointlist/map. Very handy. I had points on my handheld (of everything, duck hunting spots, work points, etc.) that I wanted to cut. I didn't need them all on my FF. Loaded them into easygps, edited, saved to flashdrive, followed CP's instructions, and SHAMWOW

    Ricky, it will add to the existing waypoints.

    Jax, GPSbabel will convert HB to Lowrance files.
