Thread: Transfering Humminbird Waypoints (HELP)

I think it would be easier just to load my back up on one unit and go back over the new spots with the bow unit and mark the new points again.
Thanks for your help.

1 at a time. sux. I usually print mine first, then pencil edit,then change from pencil sheet. Easier.

Overall, I got 3-4 thousand. I am very careful.

Mr. Cane Pole,if you have the time I have a question for you. I have a 797and the sd card in it is the nav. maps, I didn't get the pre loaded maps. is there a way to do what ya'll have been chatting about so I can move my waypoints /brush pile locations from garmin hot maps to the HB? thank you in advance. beagle man

All waypoints are stowed in the units memory.

Get a blank sd card. Install blank and then power unit up. Hit menu twice, then arrow over to NAV tab. Arrow down to export all Nav Data. Arrow over Yes to confirm. This puts the waypoints on the spare (blank) sd card. You can now review and manipulate the waypoints, tracks by using the Humminbird PC program.

I am doing this from memory. I believe this to be correct. Sometimes I have "senior moments".

It is a HB management program for the Humminbird units you install on your PC. You need to download it from their website. You can get it on the same page as the unit upgrades. Just login to your account. Gotta register your unit. I don't like this registering part. But you gotta if you want updates, etc.
