    Default Help with new Humminbird


    Want to add Corp. of Eng. brush piles in decimal (I think) to HB 587 which wants them in degrees. How do I convert them?

    Have the brush piles on a Garmin Venture. Is their any way I can transfer them to the Humminbird formate for the 587?

    You can upload any .GPX file from the Corp website for any lake structure and then download them to you HB unit via the USB to serial cable, or via the mem. card. If the coordinates you have are only on your Garmin, then you can use the link CatFan gave, or use GPSbabel and do the same thing. I just did this this weekend for sevral lakes in AR.

    I talked with Jason with Oologah Corp of Eng. he helped change HumminbirdPC format from degrees to decimal.
    So now HB will except the Decimal numbers. Went to Preferance/position format to change the system.
    Thanks
