    Conversion HELP - ????

    Is there a method / process where I can take individual HB waypoints and convert them to Lowrance format ?

    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Open HumminbirdPC and create a new file.

    Type in the co-ordinates for each one, give them a name and icon.

    Put a memory card in your PC and click on that new file name, and then go to the top of the panel and SAVE AS GPX to the memory card.

    Remove the memory card and insert it on the Lowrance to load the data.

    One more thing, make sure you are matching the GPS format to the Lowrance setting.

    Humminbird units use DD MM.MMMM as default and so does HBPC.

    If they do not match, you can either set the HBPC format to match the Lowrance format or change the Lowrance format to match HBPC.

    The HBPC setting is in Edit/Preferences
