Members cyclonebass Posted October 22, 2011 Members Posted October 22, 2011 Does anybody on this forum have experience downloading the MDC structure waypoints from the top of the forum onto a humminbird unit. I consider myself somewhat knowledgable with this sort of thing, but I just can't get the waypoints into humminbird PC. I have downloaded .gpx file to my computer, but it seems to be in a lowrance and garmin format. I have tried ever way I can think of to get it to work, but I have had no success. I figure since the bite on the lake right now sucks right now, maybe somebody might be able to help me.
Dutch Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Look at Easy GPS or GPS Babel. One of them will convert to hb but I don't remember which one.
Members cyclonebass Posted October 22, 2011 Author Members Posted October 22, 2011 I tried EasyGPS with no success. Must be GPS Babel. Thanks.

Members RoundBoyYamhy Posted October 31, 2011 Members Posted October 31, 2011 i will be very specific here so anyone reading can get the points. The webpage is http://newmdcgis.mdc.mo.gov/tablerock/ For a Humminbird, you must download HumminbirdPC from the humminbird website. Lowrance also has a GPX. to USR. utility available on the Lowrance website. HUMMINBIRD 1. download the EasyGPS software to your computer. 2. choose what waypoints you want to have. these can be sorted on EasyGPS. 3. save the file to your computer. 4. open the humminbirdPC program and load the downloaded gpx. file to the program 5. in the HumminbirdPC program select the gpx. file and download it to your SD card. once the waypoints are on your SD card, the way to upload the files are dependant on your specific unit. the sidefinder units will automatically load them once the card is in. Hope this helps. 4.
