You should be able to go to the nav menu and select a create waypoint. this will let you put in the gps coord...
I think you have to be in advanced mode to do this..

You can also do this through the HumminbirdPC program as well.  If those waypoints are in a file format you could possibly import them en masse.  Just be sure that the Waypoint Format you are using is the same as the unit or HumminbirdPC is set to and that they are using the same Map Datum as well (HumminbirdPC only uses the WGS84 Map Datum).

marcuswon,
I am assuming that these are referenced to the WHS84 map datum.  Send me a direct e-mail to me with the same link to that page and I will see what I can do about converting these for you and than I will e-mail them back.  I cannot do it today as the files I need for this are on my work PC and I am at home now (food allergy took me out last night…).


Chuck/Robert,
Maybe you could start a separate section in the Downloads section for *.gpx files of public waypoints?  I’ve converted several of these that I could place out there for others to use.  For a fee I might upload someone’s personal waypoints as well!    
No, I wouldn’t do that guys…    Your waypoints are yours and yours alone.  Waypoints from a publically accessible web site are fair game though.
