Saving waypoints from Lowrance HDS to new Helix's

    I have a new Ranger 620 with a Helix 12 on bow and 10 on dash on order. My ’09 Ranger Reata has two HDS’s on it with some important waypoints saved from the Northwest Angle area of Lake of the Woods. How can I transfer them to my new ‘Birds? I am not the most “technologically advanced”……

    I found it best if you save the waypoints from Lowrance as verison 4. Depending on which HDS you have it may default to verison 5, but save as verison 4 to the sd card.
    I would download either Humminbird PC or GPS Babel onto your computer. Its very simple once you have either one of those software programs. Humminbird does require you to save the waypoints in a .gpx format.

    IF you are close to SBC Ramsey I can certainly do this for you as well. Just bring the SD card with lowrance waypoints.

    You Tube is also your friend.
