Batch delete?

I have been playing the SI a lot.. But not so much with the other features of the 997.

When you save a screenshot, it also makes a waypoint. What is the best way to delete all of the unwanted waypoints?

Is there a batch delete function that can delete selected waypoints, or maybe delete all un-named waypoints or waypoints with or without specific symbols?

Obviously I might want to save a few but delete lots of other ones.. Is there a good method how to do this?

(Sorry if this is a dumb question… I haven’t messed with the gps functions a lot yet on the unit)

Thanks,

Mike

I do it in Hum/b PC. Two reasons for that. !. I have a master back up of ALL my waypoints. 2. I can name the ones I want and delete all the others. Can also look up my master map on Google Earth which is a nice function. When I get calls at night looking for information, I usually pull up Earth and look at all my waypoints on a given body of water. Download what you want to keep on your SD card and pop into your locator and done!

Your kidding me?? This side imaging stuff just got HOT in my mind!!!

I haven’t used any programs with any of the images yet… I would like to get yellowfish, to see video (Although I haven’t recorded any yet) and other programs that might be of use.

What programs do you use? What programs are out there that you have seen, but might not use?

I have done zero work with the screenshots other than record and view on a computer. What are my options, what are the capabilities, etc…????

Thanks!!

Mike,
I really haven’t used anything special for viewing. I do open the PNG files in “Paint” and save the images as a JPEG. More viewiewing softwaer uses JPEG than any other format. Figured out today that I can open PNG files with my AutoCad Viewing software… That will help me get more work done at….work

I’m working on a Power Point Presentation for a few speaking obligations I have with one of my sponsors. So far, pulling the images into PP has worked well. I have not embedded any video yet, but plan on doing so. There is a way, I just haven’t figured it out yet. I also found this last winter I have deleted so many snapshots and waypoints. They’re cool to show people and I know a few divers that need them. But other than the waypoint, I mostly show a few images and then they are gone. I would need another external drive to save them all.

Kooty – I can’t publicly say what I paid for my 1197. But if it wasn’t for a sponsor, I couldn’t own one. But last year, it completely paid for itself in tournament winnings by fishing structure I didn’t know was there. Hot, is an understatement. I found an entire tree jammed into an wing dam that I was passing by. If I didn’t have the side scan on, I would have never known it was there. Caught over 25 keeper bass from the one spot. On Erie I was able to find schools of active gobies that the 2D sonar would not show. Caught well over 21# summer bags by fishing around the gobie schools. These are incredible tools!
