Loading waypoints to 788 not working

[mike rousseau]

Getting kinda frustrated here...

 

Saved waypoints to an sd card

 

Loaded into humminbird software

 

Saved back to sd card

 

788 gives option to load data

 

Select YES

 

says no new Nav data found

 

 

 

 

Tried the same on a 999 and loaded fine...

Tried another 999 and fine...

 

Even updated the 788 and everything

 

For the life of me I can't understand what's wrong here,.,

 

I really don't want to enter 385 waypoints manually... Lol

 

 

 

Please oh please can anyone help or can anyone suggest who to call other then humminbird... I'll be calling them asap

I've had similar issues with other units. Some suggestions:

 

Is the firmware on your 788 up to date?

You could also try using a lower capacity SD card. Some units have memory and card size limitations.

Try uploading fewer waypoints at one time.

 

Hope this helps.

Did you make a 'Matrix' folder on the SD card and put your waypoints into that THEN try importing? I bet it works

Yes Bill

 

Amazing idea SRR!!!

 

I'll try that...

That's the only way I could import anything into my older 788.
