Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Help transfer Lowrance Waypoints to Hummingbird FIsh Locator or Newer Lowrance

[tsteven4 <tst...@gm...>]

Terry,

Are the files on your MMC .usr files?  Can you provide a sample of one 
we can try?  We can read most .usr file waypoints.  We should be able to 
write them to a .hwr file.  If we can read your sample and write a .hwr 
file I can send that back to see if your unit can use it.  If that works 
we can teach you to do this yourself.
