TRANSFER PROCEDURE: Step 1) Save data from Humminbird unit: Attach a SD card reader to computer Insert card in card reader Save data from Humminbird unit to the MMD/SD card by going to the Main Menu NAV tab and selecting Export All Nav Data. Step 2) Convert Humminbird waypoint file to GPS Exchange format: Attach the SD card reader to your PC and place the SD card in the slot Launch the Humminbird PC software application. You will see a SD card icon. If you don’t see the card make sure the reader is plugged in and a card is in the reader. Use the From SD card to PC arrow to transfer the waypoint data from the card. Once the waypoint data is loaded (displayed) highlight the .gpx file shown in the upper left corner. Select FILE, SAVE AS and direct it to the SD card (E: drive).

Finally got it!!! Thanks for the help ifish and cane pole!! Much appreciated!! But its weird though....I did the above steps. Took the card out to the unit. Went to waypoints, selected the file--which was lowrance.usr, then import, and it wouldn't do it. I then selected the ".gpx" file that I had saved on the card and it imported all the waypoints. So I'm totally confused now. Bottom line, it's fixed. Thanks again!!

Good. I can't remember crap anymore.
