I've been having some trouble with HumminbirdPC groups and was wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or if HPC is just having some issues. Here is what I'm trying to do.
I have a group for each lake I fish. Right now, all of my way points for a given lake are all in the group for that specific lake.
Here is what I want to do. For each of the lakes (groups) I want to create multiple sub groups to represent the type of location/cover/structure the waypoint is (e.g. lake subgroups called Brushpiles, Docks, Grass, Blowdowns, etc.). Seems easy enough via HPC. I've created the subgroups and all without issue. The problems I have occur when trying to move the existing waypoints into the new subgroups. Cut and paste is really slow. Copy and paste seems to work better but then I have to go back and delete the duplicates. Then sometimes subgroups just disappear as if I deleted them but I did not. This mostly seems to happen with dealing with large numbers of waypoints at once...trying to copy / paste 20+ way points.
Has anyone else been successful doing what I'm trying to do? Did you experience any of the problems I've seen?
There's one other thing that I don't quite understand about the HPC program hierarchy. Under the root of the .gpx file there is a "Waypoints" container. Then under each Group (including the Home group) there are other "Waypoints" containers. When trying to organize the waypoints, from which of the "Waypoints" containers should I be moving the waypoints?

This old thead has a little video on Waypoint Management System/Groups:

And yes HBPC is a little buggy with Groups. I normally Cut&Pasted selected waypoints from GroupA-to-GroupB.
And the ONIX might not support Groups.
