Lowrance hds10 waypoint transfer

[johndeere]

I have downloaded the .usr file from the hds10 to an sd card. I have tried a number of gps programmes to read the file but to no avail. Can anyone tell me how to do it or what I'm doing wrong?

you can save them in 4 different formats, maybe try a different format. i will have a look when i get home what programs i have used and what format works.

Hi, search on google for a file type changer. The one you are after is USR to GPX. GPX format can be used on just about any software. Also, check the Lowrnace website, there is a free convertor into USR. It may even do the reverse for you.

You will need a MMC card - not just a SD card.

easygps with gpx format works. www.easygps.com
i think you can even use gpx with google earth i believe.
always backup using usr4 though as this also records depth if entered on the mark(not put in at home)
