    Requires SD card in unit to save data.

    Go to WTR page. Highlight Files>Enter. Next highlight WTR>hit Export button (bottom button). Highlight file format (ver 4)>Enter. Highlight Memory Card>hit OK button (bottom button). Highlight New>Enter. Type in a file name using the display keyboard or use the existing file name. Hit the OK button (bottom). Highlight memory card>Enter. Your waypoints should show up here as a usr file if you saved the file. The usr is the Lowrance file format.

    You can use an on line converter and view the wpts in Google Earth.

    OK.

    My instructions may not be exactly like the user manual, but I know these directions above work.
