Tracks - Humminbird to Garmin - 01/22/22 11:45 PM

Hello. I have figured out how to get the Humminbird waypoints to .gpx and then install them on my Garmin unit. However, there are tracks that I have saved that are not pulling over to the Garmin. Any advice?

Type of HB? Type of tracks?

HB 997c to Garmin Echo Ultra. I created the tracks by driving along and saving the track that I just travelled. The waypoints moved over, but not the tracks.

There is no way I know of to transfer track data from Humminbird to Garmin

Other than following it back like chickenfried suggested

Export waypoints and tracks from HB997c to a SD-card.
Download the SD-card into HumminbirdPC.
Check in HBPC created GPX file that you have your waypoints and tracks.
Save As from HBPC to save the GPX file back to your SD-card.
Import this GPX file into your Garmin (may have to set the Garmin to look for GPX file-types).

Simple tracks like these should convert to Garmin. Complex multi-segmented tracks will not.
