The AGFC improved the way anglers can download fish attractor coordinates. There are Hummingbird, Lowrance, and Garmin files for every lake that has fish attractors in it. Have at it!

Well, unfortunately for me the Beaver Lake link for Lowrance isn't working...lol! Just my luck! Funny thing is other lakes Lowrance USR files will download but not Beaver!
I have always used GPX files for my Lowrance HDS 3 and haven’t had any problems.Quote:

Ok, I'll give that a try and see if it works. Mine is the HDI 7 so it might be different, but maybe not. Thanks for the info!Quote:

Scientifically speaking I don’t know yet. We are in the process of evaluating Mossback artificial structures and cedar trees on one of my lakes. I’ll get back to you in a few years when i have collected some data for a while. You are correct though. The artificial structures last a lot longer and that has to be considered in the analysis.Quote:

Most Lowrance fish finders require the .usr file to work.
Also, I have identified an issue with Humminbird that our GIS department wasn't aware of. They should have it fixed soon. After downloading a .hwr file, it must go in a folder called matrix or the Humminbird fishfinder will not recognize the .hwr files.
Thanks Jeremy! Good to know.Quote:

Humminbird PC always asks for .gpx files. And then it converts and puts it into the matrix file ready for you to just place sd card and upload onto unit.Quote:

I bet that was rough... do you not have an SD card? You can mass upload by moving them all to the card and uploading from it onto your unit with two clicks from a mouse and a few button pushes on your graph.Quote:

Yep, Hummingbird PC will also convert .usr and .hwr to .gpx before placing in the matrix file as a .hwr. We use Humminbird PC when people come into our office wanting coordinates loaded to their depth finder or memory card. However, there are a lot of people that can barely run their depth finder and a computer. So I suspect many of those just assume they can download the .hwr from our site and upload it directly to their depthfinder. That is why I am hoping our GIS will develop a method that incorporates the matrix file and angelrs can skip Humminbird PC all together.Quote:
