I have a handheld Garmin 60csx gps unit. I have about 100 or so waypoints on it for local lakes. I recently purchased a Humminbird 998 c and I would like to transfer the waypoints.
I am sure this can be done but can anyone tell me how or tell me where to find directions?
I am technologically challenged so I may be in over my head!!!!!!
http://www.crappie.com/crappie/fishi...onversion.html Try reading that, and come back if you have a problem. There are more out there to find. You can do a search and come up with a wad of results. Good reading if you like that sort of thing.
I think I'm in way over my head. Looks like I will be carrying my handheld with me for awhile!!!
it'll take a while but you could pull up the coordinates on your hand held and put them in the 988 manually.
where in AR are you? Close to Corning area by chance, NEA? Do you have a PC cable to use with your unit?
Not so. Here is a link to how to convert waypoints from your Garmin HHGPS to your Humminbird:Quote:

Greg,
Thanks for the link. How do I save the waypoints to the sd card? My handheld has a tiny card in it. Do I save the waypoints to another card?
If that is a memory card than you can connect it to your computer (you may need a card reader for your computer or an adapter if it is a MiniSD or MicroSD memory card) and open the file using HumminbirdPC.
Where can I download HumminbirdPC?
You can download it from the Humminbird web site when you register your unit.

I give up!!! Can't get the files to convert. Handheld has a microsd card where Idownloaded maps. Could this be causing problems?
Fancy Seats,
Did you download your waypoint data to the microSD memory card? If so, install it on your computer and send me a copy of the waypoint file. I think on a Garmin this would the a file with the *.gdb or *.mps file extension. I can convert it for you and e-mail it back.
Greg,
I worked on this last night for a couple of hours. When I got to the point of converting the waypoints they never showed up as a gpx file. I have a micro sd card in my hand held that has maps on it. Could this be causing me problems?
Greg,
I am sorry I missed your e-mail above. I tried to load the waypoints to an sd card. Don't think it worked.
I appreciate all your help.
If you have a micro card then go to the store and buy an adapter for it and then you can use it like a regular SD card. That's what I have in my cell phone and it makes it easy to transfer pics to my computer.
