Topic: export waypoints from 1197 to Helix 12 mega chirp

[davefrank41]

Upgrading to new units. I have waypoints on my Humminbird 1197 that I would like to save to export to the new Helix 12 Mega Chirp SI.
How do I do that?
Once the 1197 is removed and the helix installed I won't be able to try again.
thanks.

It's also a good idea to have a backup of your waypoints in HB PC ..... stuff happens.
