Importing Waypoints into a Lowrance Elite 4

[kschupp]

I am currently using a Garmin Nuvi for my GPS on the water. I have ordered a new Lowrance Elite 4M GPS/Chart plotter and it is supposed to be delivered today. Does anybody know if I can import my current waypoints into the Lowrance. I have them on an excel spreadsheet right now and had to hand jam them into the Garmin. I would like to avoid this (I don't even know if I can as the manual I downloaded from Lowrance doesn't talk about entering way points by hand.) Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.....

If you can convert the file to a .usr file and then put it on a SD card you can do it. Check GPS Babel or Easy GPS.

Thanks Bill. Once I get it to the SD card, how do I import the waypoints. The instructions that came with the GPS are not very good at all.

From the waypoints screen hit menu, then load from card.

Thanks Bill. I actually found this info just after I posted the question to you.
