Hey all,
I have the above unit and recently upgraded to the newest software version and I backed up my waypoints and tracks to try and get everything organized. All my waypoints transferred over, but when I saved the current track to the unit and then to the SD card and brought the SD card into the computer, the current track (as I call it) did not transfer. All my tracks from last fall and this spring for some reason won't transfer over to the computer.

Do any of you have any suggestions.

Thanks,
Craig

Try making a gpx file out of them and then bring thm back into bird format with their software. Could also covert them to Lowrance format and bring back in with Humminbird's software. I'm pretty sure Humminbird's sofware converts your input to gpx before it puts them into 'bird format. Good luck.
p.s. if you need software to create a gpx file, take a look at gpsBable. Free and easy to use.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure how to change the format on them. They are already in my hbird, but just don't seem to transfer.
