Waypoint manager
Submitted by crano on Mon, 2015-04-13 16:36
I have been using expert gps on the computer to manage my waypoints and it is a piece of crap.It gets things about 80% right when you upload a file to the GPS and the I have to manually correct the other 20%.
It is not a problem with my GPS as I run two of them and have problems with both.
I was wondering what other wreckers are using and what is good without spending a million dollars.

expert gps
I used expert gps to transfer waypoints from raymarine to lowrance but with a lot of help from an IT guru. Didn't buy it just used the free 5 day trial. Used to used raytech planner for raymarine but would be keen to hear of a system that lowrance can use?

If you are only talking transferring/converting waypoints....
...then GPSBabel is the way to go. It's free

I used this to convert waypoints to a Lowrance GPS, and to convert them to Excel to backup on my computer

gpsbabel
I used gpsbabel to try & convert my points. It converted them to .usr for lowrance but not to.usr5 which the gen 2 series require. It would only convert to .usr4.
