Can I take the SD card from my 898 and put in my 598 to transfer waypoint data?
-
Yes, you can export Nav Data on one unit and import it on another.

I tried to export the data from the 898 and then put the card in the 598 and it would not import the waypoints.
-
Was the 598 unit on or off when you installed the memory card?
Have you successfully used that memory card in the 598 and 898 units before (like make a Screen Snapshot and look at it it in the unit you made it in)?
-
yes the 598 was on before I put the card in. I CA. see the waypoints on the card when I insert it in my PC using Hummingbirds PC. I have. bother the 898 and 598 on my boat and I thought I could just export the data to the card andplace it in the other unit bandit would import the waypoints.
-
It should but it sometimes gets back to the software versions that each unit is using. Try:
Installing the memory card before you power the 598 unit on.
With the 598 unit; make a screen snapshot using that same memory card – then view the screen snapshot on the 598 unit. This will tell us if the memory card is being recognized and can be written to and read from as well.
-
it can be written to because I created a waypoint on the 598 and exported it to card and placed in the 899 and it imported the waypoint
-
Written to and read from are different functions though. Be sure that it can also read from the memory card but try installing it with the unit off first.
