JonD Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I'm wanting to convert waypoints from garmin to Lowrance in exchange for marks from my Lowrance back to garmin. Anyone found an easy solution ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smasher Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Does it allow you to export to memory card? Alternatively, try downloading the Navionics app for your smartphone or tablet. I think you can get a 30 day free trial. It can sync to GPS units and will bring your marks across. Then sync it to your next GPS and it should hopefully push them across.

raging Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 The app won't sync with a Garmin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocler Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Have a look at GPSBabel. I have not used it for Lowrance (although it lists it) but have for things like Google Earth etc. I use a Garmin as well. https://www.gpsbabel.org/capabilities.html J Edited October 24, 2017 by Jocler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, so if you've got them on a card, copy them onto your computer and combine them into one file with every mark that you want. You should also make a backup here in case like Rick says your finder dies one day. If you have .GPX file and you want to manually edit it, using a program like Notepad++ should make life a bit easier for you. If your finder will only accept certain file formats, you can use this website to convert it into whatever it will accept. http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_input Edited October 24, 2017 by Smasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
