Help!!!!!!!!

I just traded boats and the new model has a LOwrance-hds-5 on the console. I have been a hummingbird man all my life and this thing is just greek to me. And yes I've heard the term just play with it and I am still lost. Does there exist anywhere a you-tube or disk you can buy to learn this stuff(for dummies) Thanks and my second question is there anyway to transfer my GPS waypoint locations from one model to the other?

lots of information on the u tube, check it out

Hey, brother Tenncrappie .... would that be a Gen 1 or Gen 2 ??

Here's where to look for the Operations Manual & all the other guides : Lowrance HDS-5 Gen2 | Fishfinder GPS Chartplotter - LOWRANCE | Marine Electronics

If you still can't figure it all out .... you could always take it off the boat & see if you could make a sale or trade for a comparable HB unit, over on the Personal Classifieds Forum !! (just sayin' !! )

You can transfer your waypoints but you will have to convert them from HB's format to Lowrance's which is a .usr file. This site can do that for you. GPSBabel: convert, upload, download data from GPS and Map programs

thanks everyone. There are things I like about the HDS5 but I guess I'm old fashion. I'm still using a flip cell phone.

Pfffttt .... I'm more "old fashion" than that -- I've NEVER owned a cell phone, of any kind

I will take it if you don't want it. It not worth much if you can't use it.

Flip phones are great. I wish mine had bigger buttons. I used mine many years that the numbers on the key pads are rubbed off. I get a lot of upgrade offers but none with big buttons.
