apparently 5,000 is not enough and i sure hate to delete what i have stored, can i add a memory card to increase storage or possible save what i have to a card, delete from the unit but use the card to show those waypoints and have the unit to store a fresh 5,000? this is on a humminbird helix 12 first generation.
Helix units I’m familiar with will only hold 2750 waypoints. I have to use 3( and soon 4!) SD cards for my waypoints from Ky Dam to Hwy 79 bridge on Ky Lake. It’s a pain in the rear to have to change cards when I move into an area not covered by the card in the units.

Dux,,,that sounds like a pain,,,,I’m glad I never depend on those things,,,,I just try and remember ares and just fish,,,I’m sure when your guiding it’s important to know exactly where you wanna be,,,,Kentucky lake Area is huge as well,,,, that’s where my boat is from,,,father in law lived next to Moore’s Landing and marina,, castle drive,,,I used to just go to the backyard and jump in from our boat dock,,,,man it was nice,,,we they still lived there….

DUX is correct that HELIX maximum waypoint capacity is 2750 ...Quote:

*SOLIX/APEX waypoint capacity 20,000 waypoints

This is not possible ... the unit never displays waypoints from the SD Card ...Quote:

so your essentially saying I need a !5'' apex? thats what im hearing,lol
i have my helix connected via ethernet to an 1159 uprfront on the bow, could i load my waypoints from the helix onto a sd card, delete from the unit, load onto the humminbird 1159, then when they are both on i could see my old ones plus have the new space for new ones on the helix, would that work? how many waypoints does a 1159 save?
Correct ... Ethernet sharing allows access to more waypoint storage ...Quote:

I still don’t understand why HB will not increase HELIX waypoint capacity ...Quote:

Would seem the HB Helix units are very stressed on capacity now.
Long "chart loading" times when using Navionics+ map chips.
A few more Wpoints just may be the tipping point to overload and meltdown.:Rofl
knock on wood i've had my helix gen 1 since they came out, and love it, its as fast or faster than any other unit ive ever had on my boat, though if anybody had a 12' or larger solix with si for sale im interested
I manage all my waypoints from the computer through Google Earth. I have them separated by lake. Whatever lake I go to I load waypoints for it on to unit and when done fishing I download waypoints from unit and upload to Google Earth. This helps keep your waypoints down as well as in the event I were to ever lose/damage my unit I don’t lose all my waypoints.
I have a SOLIX 10 CHIRP SI MEGA SI G2 in the classifieds ... with only 88hours ...Quote:
