Saving and Loading Waypoints with your HDS

HDS Import waypoints
Select Pages, Utilities, Files, My files or Memory card, the .usr file, Menu, and Import

HDS Export waypoints to a card
Select Pages, Utilities, Files, Waypoints, Routes, and Trails, Menu, Export, select the version you prefer, Select destination

Version 4 allows for comments to be added in a description box when you edit the waypoint.

Version 3 has the sonar depth when you created the waypoint but the HDS icons are not saved, the Version 3 icons are used. You will notice more choices of icons and color choices with the HDS.

Version 2 is for all Lowrance models including handhelds and older models

When you export you are exporting the trails and routes with the waypoints.

If you export as Version 2 and 3 the trails will be compressed to 10000 points and the HDS allows many more points per trail.

I recommend saving Version 2 and 4 and load Version 2 into older models if needed and keep the Version 4 for HDS models and as a backup.
