    Solix Waypoints

    I have a bunch of waypoint from DNR that I would like to add to my Solix but having trouble finding if there is a way to do this with an SD card. Coordinates are on a pdf. Not sure if there is a way to but them all on a card and then upload from there or if I need to enter each manually into the unit.

    Thanks Bob. The ones I am trying to import are from an IL lake. DNR sent me the GPS coordinates and trying to put them on a SD card as opposed to entering 60 waypoint locations.

    SOLIX waypoints are entered as GPX.

    IF the conversion software doesn't work, you can install Humminbird PC on your PC. Use the computer keyboard to type in the coordinates, assign a name and icon, then for the created file, SAVE AS GPX to a memory card to load to the SOLIX.

    Thank you. Can I ask one more question, from the output drop down menu which do you select?

    I am not familiar with the software, just know it exists via web search.
