Waypoints to SD Card
« on: November 09, 2010, 06:49:04 AM »
Over the weekend I used my 798ci w/ext gps receiver on a rod to mark off some points along some property I own.  I went and saved all those waypoints and then exported all nav data to SD card.  While the unit reports success, I am not seeing any file with that data.  Just old files that were already on it.  What name should it be stored under?  or am I doing something wrong?  ASCII readable?

PS: I don't want to take the individual coordinates and feed them into one of sat mapping sites.
If it bends my rod, I'm a happy fisherman.

John,
The new waypoints should have been saved to the SD card along with all of the other waypoints, tracks and routes that were already in your unit.  These should be in the DATA.HWR file that is in the MATRIX folder on the SD card.

Once you open the DATA.HWR file in HumminbirdPC you can save it as a *.gpx file with whatever name you choose for it.  The data may than be readable with another program if you are needing it in ASCII but I do not know of one that does.  You should be able to see the coordinates for each waypoint in HumminbirdPC though.

That file was there and there wasn't a date stamp, so didn't notice it was updated.  I may try loading it into HB PC, or just record the coordinates in Excel and go from there.  Thx.
