The Corp of Eng. put out brush piles and post GPS on web site for both Humminbird & lorance units. I down load the file and unzip, and open. How do I then load them on the Helix unit? I do have HummibirdPC on my computer.

You will need a sd card, H/B P C. Edit your waypoints, then up load to card. Then install card into unit. Way points are stored on the card.

You can type them into your unit one by one but that takes a while to do. 1 or 2 is simple enough but for a bunch you need a keyboard.
The user manual to Humminbird PC is under the Help tab at the top left of HBPC ...

I got the corp. of Eng. file on SD card but not able to get HB PC to accept it or do anything. What next?
HBPC accepts HB proprietary files and GPX files ... (I think even Lowrance usr files) ...Quote:

My humminbird pc wouldn’t recognize the humminbird file. I had to use the Lowrance usr file.

What is the filename? If it is a xxx.pdf file, then you will have to open it in Acrobat and type the waypoints into the Humminbird PC one at a time. (Start a new file in HBPC to add waypoints.) Then you can upload the file you create to the SD card and use the SD card to load waypoints into FF.Quote:

If you have SI and know the general area much easier or somebody that does know the area it does not take long to find them a few passes and waypoints marked and done..
I have searched the Corp of Engineer's site and am unable to find any fish attractors locations. How do I find them?
