I am using an very old 797SI and looking forward to purchase a new HB device.
The waypoint names for the 797 are limited to 11 characters.
Does this limit still exist for newer HB devices also?
Best regards

Ok, I am from Germany and my English is not the best.
My question from January is not answered jet.
Therefore I try to express my question in other words.
I would like to purchase a humminbird helix 9.
And I would like to know, how many characters a waypoint name can have as a maximum for a Helix sonar.
Best regards
Wolfgang

I was hoping some one with a HELIX would confirm this for you as I don't have a HELIX to test ...
I will find out and post back for you ...

It is confirmed on another HB site that the HELIX waypoint character limit is the same as numbered series ...

Thanks a lot for this information.

One more tidbit ... It's a good idea to avoid special characters in the waypoint names. Odd system problems and lockups have been traced back to special characters in waypoint names.
