[QUOTE]Reef Hawg - 8/19/2010  6:20 PM

I was able to save all of my info to the card and load onto the HDS 7, with all of my icons showing up as icons and all of my waypoints as numbered waypoints.  There is no "icon" next to the icons.  However, when I saved the info to the HDS 7, my LCX was on and networked, and it translated all of my icons into waypoints on my 111, and it showed all of my icons on that unit with 'icon' next to it.  I erased the entire 111, and loaded the data from the card and I was back where I started.  I then erased everything off my HDS 7 and tried it again, but with the 111 turned off.  This time it worked, and when I powered the 111 back up, everything was fine.

My main issue is with my 111 being completely full of icons now and almost full of waypoints.  I don't like that I now have to use a waypoint from the HDS to mark weeds or structure where I once used icons, as I always used icons for the structure I wanted to work out from, and waypoints where I'd hooked or seen fish knowing I could go right back to them.  Will take a culture shift, but I've no choice but to get used to it.  Now to learn to manage my icons and waypoints for my 111 now that it is full.  What software program do you guys recomend as being best for this?

Cory, you might also make sure that you HDS has the newest software(3.0 I beleive).  You had once mentioned that yours did not read the Lakemaster cards, which it should/will with the proper software/settings.[/QUOTE]

I have been running a new HDS 7 alongside my LCX 111 for about a month now. I have had to make some of the same transfers Cory mentioned, but with slightly different results, though a similar amount of associated head pain.
