RICKIE,WHAT IS HBPC AND DO I NEED IT? WILL SD LOAD ON 998 WITHOUT IT

Humminbird PC is waypoint management software that you will need for importing waypoints onto the SD Card in a format that the HB unit can recognize in order to get those waypoints in the unit memory ...

If your unit is registered at http://www.humminbird.com/Support/My...bird/register/ ...Sign in to your account and HBPC is a free download ...

The only other way to get waypoints (from an outside source) into the HB unit is manually entering them thru the Nav menu system ... Which is very time consuming ...

Is your unit registered ...??
(You don't have to be the original owner ... You just need the serial from the tag on the back of the unit)...

Log into your HB account and download the Humminbird PC program ...

Once we get your Humviewer waypoints into HBPC and then onto the SD Card, the same SD Card can be used to upload the waypoints into both your HB units ...
