humminbirdpc is very easy to use

MODIFIED by RGecy:  Sure you can embed videos.  You just need to use the correct format.  It needs to be the actual youtube.com address.

This on this site can get touchy when recommending other sites...so I never know what I can "link" to as sources of info. Toes are sensitive things. I think my incident involved making a link to a Doug Vahrenberg info site,(>>DON'T CHECK OUT HIS utubes >>>) and I was told that was a no-no. GO FIGURE. I thought that we were here, all in the same "boat"...to help disseminate info???

I would use ReefMaster software and its Region-Select features.

Use Region-Select under Global View to draw a box around all waypoints on a lake, area, etc, then write to Humminbird SD-card MATRIX folder(my preference) or write out as another GPX file.  Then download the MATRIX or open the new GPX back into HBPC.

ReefMaster comes in PRO, LITE or free versions.  I use LITE.  The FREE would probable do this.

Reefmaster has forum on this site and its own site.

Thanks for the plug LittleGazoo - although we no longer have a free version, the LITE version will do the job, or just use the trial version to sort your waypoints into files. Just draw a rectangle around the waypoints that you want, right click and save to GPX or HWR - or move them to their own set in RM so you can export them in future without having to select them first.
