I'm wanting to put my Magellan handheld waypoints into my HB 788. I've got easygps downloaded, and the HB PC downloaded. I need to know what I need to do to convert the file. Anyone got any insight into this?

An on line converter. to from anything.
GPS Visualizer: Web interface to GPSBabel
Thanks, CP. I'll give it a go.
You do not need the HB serial cable or the Humminbird PC program to put waypoints on your unit.
I will tell you ( and anyone else that wants to know) how to do this without Humminbird PC. It is very easy to do too.:cool:
Good deal, let'er rip whenever you're ready.
did you convert the waypoints to the HB format?Quote:

Did you save them using EasyGPS? If so, you should have a .gpx file saved.Quote:

I just tried converting them. The message from GPS visualizer (from the link you posted) said it was converted. I saved a file from that, but couldn't reopen it. An .hwr file.

Just remember, anytime you transfer data, be it serial cable or sd, these units can puke on itself. It happens.
