Is there a way to connect the 2 units via either ethernet or the NMEA2000 connections and be able to share the waypoints? Most of my waypoints are on the 898 from scanning. If not what, is the easiest way to transfer the 898 waypoints over to the HDS? 2011 Legend Alpha 211 DCX 250 Mercury Pro XS- 25p Tempest B&B’d by Josh at Steve’s Custom props 36v Motorguide Xi5 connected to Lowrance HDS 9 Gen 2 Humminbird Solix 10 CHIRP MSI G2, Onix 10

Using your waypoints exported to HumminbirdPC, highlight the file name and SAVE AS gpx to a memory card to load the data to the Lowrance.

I'll give that a try as soon as I get the chance to get back out after Harvey has passed! 2011 Legend Alpha 211 DCX 250 Mercury Pro XS- 25p Tempest B&B’d by Josh at Steve’s Custom props 36v Motorguide Xi5 connected to Lowrance HDS 9 Gen 2 Humminbird Solix 10 CHIRP MSI G2, Onix 10
