So, I have finally decided on which new units to upgrade to this spring!!! My question is this: How do I take my waypoints off my old X15's and transfer them to the new Helix that I am purchasing. Do not want to lose the waypoints!!
Suggestions??

Download Humminbird's free HumminbirdPC program for Windows which you get access to when you register your unit and log into their My Humminbird website. I used it to migrate waypoints from my old Lowrance H2OC GPS unit. According to their help file:

"HumminbirdPC™ can also import files with the following extensions: .low, .usr, .gdb, .mps, and .hwr."

CHEMI is correct. MyHumminbird PC software will allow you to convert the files to .HWR (aka: Helix format) It is pretty easy, but if you need assistance, give Humminbird customer service a call and I'm sure they will be happy to help 800-633-1468
