Cannons Marine has Grady gatherings, I believe.

Well, with Hookup1 helping me by email he got my waypoints from 10 years fishing in the Gulf of Mexico back to a state that I could install in an old Garmin with him schooling me on how to use Homeport. It says a lot about a guy that will go to that much trouble for a stranger. My hat is off to...

Skunk, I found the data on my computer so I am going to try to do just what you are saying. The only thing in question is on the file in my computer it says it is a .usr file. I just hope that is of a type that Homeport can work with. At least I still have data.

Hookup 1, I have another SD card that has been formatted on my computer. I am going to start with that and go back to your original "how t" post and see if I can get there. I do notice the SIMRAD wrote the data in .usr format. I will see if Homeport can handle that type. Your first instruction...

I could find no data on the card in Homeport....not sure I know how to use it though.

Thanks Hook... I went back to my picture folder for my Grady that I sold and I found the waypoint info there so I quit loading the pistol. I also looked into the folder of my World Cat where I brought the data from to the SIMRAD. It was from a Raymarine. The attached photo shows the type of...

I do not have access to my old SIMRAD GO9. I sold the boat. I may have one chance. I brought most of the data to the GO9 from a card that was loaded by a outfit that charged me like $30 to get the data to GPX files so it would work on the SIMRAD. It seems like they said they keep the data on...

I agree. Hook, I really appreciate the time you and Skunk spent helping on this. I installed Homeport on my laptop and put the card in. It showed up with the name of the Garmin device which concerned me. I stumbled around in the "file" menu and found a "show data" button and when I opened that...

Thanks a ton fellas. I will give that Homeport a try. I just hope I haven't corrupted the files on the card by inserting it in the Garmin with GPX files on it. I'll let you know if I have success.

Thanks, Dennis, I found references to this in some of Garmins' pages but it went into explanations that were over my head and made no sense to me. I'll keep snooping.

I transferred waypoint files from my SIMRAD GO9 onto an SD card. Now, I am trying to transfer them onto an older Garmin 540S. When I put the card in and clicked "merge from card", I get a screen where I should chose the files I want but the screen is blank as if there are no files on the card...

Trapper, I am not familiar with your exact AP but when I set up my Raymarine Smartpilot it had a menu item dealing with rudder angle maximums In the rudder calibration. There was a menu item that let you set the maximum angle the AP would consider "hard over". While in that mode I turned the...

Trapper, do you have a rudder indicator in the system?

That boat is too nice to have tuna and dolphin blood sprayed all over it. I think you better leave it at home and rent an old beater down at Marathon.:)

Good job of deducing the sequence of events. It cost a few bucks but you can sleep at night now.

I dewinterized mine today. I took my long sleeved T-shirt back in the house.

You can buy a Seatalk/2K converter. It's just a cable with a "wart" in it.
