    importing waypoints to solix

    I just want to be sure I'm doing this correctly.

    I downloaded some waypoints from my States Wildlife website as a GPX Xml.

    I opened that file in GPS babel and exported it as a .HWR file

    I am now going to load that HWR file on an SD card and put it in my solix, menu > files

    Is this the correct method?

    I don’t think so. The Solix likes GPX files.

    HWR is for Helix and number series units.

    I always do it as GPX.

    The unit will ignore you if it is the wrong format. Yes, you use the Files tab.
