Before I upload .usr files, I delete what is on the unit and upload what I select. This prevents waypoint mergers. Of course, I always save stuff before I delete anything. Habit. You can also name/rename your saved files with the Lowrance too.
You and I work waypoints on the Lowrance the same way. I prefer to have a file on the SD card for each place I fish. That is not currently possible on a Humminbird.

EasyGPS shows waypoints on a blank background on your PC. ExpertGPS will show them on an aerial photography background. I still use GPSBabel to translate between file formats. I copy the *.usr files directly to the SD card for the Lowrance and use HumminbirdPC to copy the data.hwr file to the SD card for the Humminbird.

It takes some work to manage files this way but it is worth it.
