    Auto correct on the ole smart phone will get you everytime. I currently have them saved on a SD card from the old humminbird unit. I'll give Nimrod's idea a try.

    Ended up using easy gps and it was just that simple. Appreciate everyone's assistance. I recommend easy gps, the layout is very user friendly, easily understood, and it worked like a charm.
