How to transfer Lowrance waypoints to Humminbird. Down load Lowrance file to SD chip. This will create a .USR file on the chip. Use www.gpsvisualizer.com/gpsbabel/gpsbabel_convert to convert the file to .HWR format. On the Humminbird unit create a waypoint. Download the waypoint to a SD chip. This will create a file on the chip named MATRIX. Inside the MATRIX file will be two files one of which will be a .HWR file. Replace the .HWR file with the new .HWR file you just created on Babel. Place the chip back in the Humminbird and the new waypoint file should load automatically. Good Luck
