Title: Waypoint management
Post by: DRBass on December 10, 2011, 02:08:16 PM

I was wondering what the feedback/experiences are with the waypoint management updates.  I am still waiting for the updates for the 958 which I have on the bow.  I haven't updated my 1197 yet.  Thinking of cleaning up some of the waypoints I have using Humminbird PC and waypoint management.  Just wondering if anyone felt using the waypoint management to organize waypoints has been beneficial?

Thanks

I have ~4000 points in the gulf. My set up is a 797 interlinked to a 1197. I separated as many as I could by species. I display around 2000 on the 1197 and share smaller groups on the 797. This is a great asset, for example when I get my Snapper limit I can share my next target species with my 797. This keeps down the clutter on the 797 while leaving many points on on the 1197. The short coming is I can't use the new Icons because the upgrade is not available for the 797. Another short coming I still have to keep multiple SD cards because you can not select the file you want to upload.
