I have gone through and added the named locations for western Sakakawea. I created the waypoints on Google Earth, then converted that file via HumminbirdPC. I did this for myself and some fishing buddies, so I have also added a few named spots that we made up for ourselves.

This is what it looks like on Google Earth ^

I have also created trails for where some of the sunken roads are/were.


To use: Download this file onto your pc then run it through the HumminbirdPC program:

Then insert the card into your head unit that you primarily use for mapping. It will ask you if you want to upload the waypoints, say yes. The named waypoints will upload as a red cross. The trails will upload as dots, and if you want them to show up as solid lines (like in the pic) you will have to change each of those trails to solid lines on your head unit.

I have a Hummingbird but I've never added any locations other than through the unit itself. I'd likely have to have you tell me over the phone. This ol' brain doesn't do the new stuff very well. I don't even think my laptop has an SD card location, either. LOL
