Can someone please help me - I am trying to put in a coordinate off of Google Earth into my HDS3 Lowrance as a waypoint - it has too many numbers off of Goggle Earth.

31 13 28.88N
94 19 35.25W

How can I convert the Google Earth coordinate to a waypoint onto my Lowrance unit?

Thanks !

Works very similar on Humminbird and Garmin

If your're wanting to add individual waypoints manually to your sonar, you can change the settings on Google Earth to show the format you need the coordinates to read.
