When I load the updated software will I loose my setting and waypoints on my 798c?

You won't lose any of your waypoints, tracks, or routes.
You are supposed to set the unit to the default settings
before and after an update.
So, once the update is finished,
you will have to go back through all the menus and
choose any custom settings that you had previously
set.
To play it safe, backup your NAV data to an SD card
before you do an update.

He doesn't go through the process of saving and deleting Nav Data that Greg recommends, but I would do that before starting Roberts proceedure.......Make absolutely SURE you have a good backup by putting getting your Nav Data onto your computer before you delete it off the unit.
