Title: Trying to export waypoints from my 998c si
Post by: grae46 on January 25, 2015, 01:01:34 PM: I'm trying to export the waypoints off my 998. I go to through all the steps and it will say "nav data successfully exported to mmc/sd card". Then I go put the sd card in my computer and there is nothing on it. Any ideas of what i may be doing wrong??

Are you looking at the card with file explorer or Humminbird PC?

Have you tried formatting the SD card?

Post by: grae46 on January 27, 2015, 02:18:24 PM: The card is in the unlocked position. I have not downloaded humminbird pc yet. I was trying to get the waypoints on the gps first but I will download it now to see if that makes a difference.

I will attach a picture with what folders are being shown. I'm not sure what to do to format the SD card.

Post by: Humminbird_Greg on January 27, 2015, 03:15:30 PM: There looks to be some additional folders on that SD card and these may be causing the problem. When we get this straightened out you should see a “DATA.HWR” file under the “MATRIX” folder.

Since your PC is identifying the SD card as drive “E”, go to its rot directory and right-click it and select “Format”. Be sure to uncheck “Quick Format”.

If that is an SDHC memory card and you have an old PC, then I would install Humminbird PC first and us the formatter in it so that the SDHC type memory card gets formatted correctly.
