Topic: New Humminbird Waypoint Management Tools for 2010

[RGecy]

In 2010, Humminbird will arm you with software that makes managing all of your saved waypoints even easier. With exclusive Humminbird® Waypoint Management you can organize your saved locations any number of ways, so you never lose an important waypoint again.

Waypoint Management gives you the ability to sort waypoints alphabetically, by nearest location, or by most recently saved. Beyond that, there are naming conventions that allow for further organization by species, location, date or structure. You can also choose from numerous new icons to identify waypoints at a glance. Now available are species specific icons—such as bass, walleye, and trout—and structure oriented icons for rock piles and weedbeds.

With Waypoint Management you’ll be in complete control of all your saved data, and back to that hot spot time and again.

Key features of the new Humminbird Waypoint Management tools include:

• Organize waypoints, tracks, and routes(data) efficiently.
• Easily create folders(groups) of data for better orginization.
• Large selection of fishing specific icons.
• Group data in multiple locations.
• Sort data alphabetically, by nearest location, or by most recent saved.
• Preview Window shows location of data.
• Create duplicate waypoints for maximum flexibility of grouping and organizing.
• Easily select and move to a specific waypoint

These new waypoint management tools are compatible with 700, 800, 900, and 1100 series models. A free software download from the Humminbird website will add them to your current Humminbird unit. These tools are scheduled to be available on January 1, 2010.

This is going to be great! I assume it will be able to be managed in Humminbird PC too?

Holy smoke,
that sounds great!
Maybe HB can add specific wreck and structure symbols as well?
i.e. sail boat, motor boat, barge, rowing boat etc and bush, weed, tree, rock etc.

Would be a nice gadget I think, since a lot of guys use their unit for structure and wreck finding.

No new information.

We need this............wish I had not seen this.  The new waypoint management will eliminate a lot of aggravation.   

[jclark]

it says this tool will be available Jan 1, 2010, but i have not seen it?

[ETnSC]

Where is the new waypoint management system?  Robert posted the first screen shots back in OCT 2009 with an anticipated delivery date of JAN 2010.  It is almost July.....what's the deal?

From what I can gather they are trying to make sure it is all they promised and will do what the customers want!  In other words, they are still working on it!

Humminbird has been trying to improve their software division and made some major changes in management and in the programming platform as well.  These changes may have something to do with the delay in getting this piece of software to market.

I have not heard any news from the gurus of when we can expect this software! Any day or month!
