come in three flavors, so you have to have the card reader that accepts your card. If the Furuno uses an FP or NC card

you will probably have to forgo using the export method as card readers for these cards are no longer made. Andren

Software Co. has one FP card reader (gray color) we can use to put your points onto a card for a one-time exercise. The

same applies for a C-card, although C-Card readers (orange color) are readily available. .

Exporting to some like the GP1870F erases all that was in the machine, so make sure you have backed it up.

Export to Garmin

For Garmin exporting, assuming you don't want to use the direct upload/download capability, and your GPS uses a

memory card, you would use the USERDATA.ADM feature. Initializing the card in the GPS is a desirable step for

later exporting to the GPS. The GPS sets up the folder structure needed and also writes a file that identifies the GPS

model and the software model for the ADM file.

You export to the SD card into a folder called: UserData that is a subfolder to the Garmin folder. That is, the folder

structure looks like "E:\Garmin\Userdata\userdata.adm". The program will set up this folder structure if the card does

not have it. You get 3 choices for the export, version 0, 1 or 2. This is in order of development of this structure. You

can try all three to see which best works in your GPS. Name them Userdata0, etc. These files are directly compatible

with most Garmins that use the SD card for storage. If the GPS uses the proprietary Garmin card, (long, skinny, and

with a handle) then you will probably need to use the Garmin Mapsource or HomePort program and the associated card

reader to access the card. In that case export your file to a GDB, or GPX file. These files can be imported into

Mapsource to be loaded into the GPS. HomePort can be used to craft ADM files for the Garmin if none of the ones in

this program work. Just drag and drop a file from the Library to the Devices list in the left column. Garmins are moving

to mini SD cards, so you might need to use one of those. You can get an adapter that converts a mini SD to a regular SD

size.

The newest handheld Garmins like the 78SC come with a USB cable and when plugged into a PC, look like a removable

drive. Therefore, they can be treated just like a USB memory stick for transfer of data in and out in GPX format.

Navigate to the E:\Garmin\GPX folder and Export a GPX file from SeaMarks to the GPS directly.

Export to Google Earth (KML)

Google Earth accepts a KML encoded file and displays it at an appropriate scale. This utility will write a file with point

information such as Name, icon, and Lat/Lon. When using this feature, the program will place the file wherever you

want and ask you to open it in Google Earth. Google Earth is fun to use and puts your data in better perspective than

NOAA charts. However, Google Earth is not generally accessible offshore, so you still need to use your track plotter or

printed maps when fishing.

Export to Humminbird

For Humminbird exporting, you need to be sure that the file is named data.hwr and is placed in a folder on the SD card

named matrix. That is, it should be something like E:\matrix\data.hwr. This means that you can have only 1 file per

card. If your data exceeds the capability of 1 file, then you need multiple cards. They can be very small capacity cards

as less than 1 MB is needed for a file.

Export to Lowrance/Eagle/Simrad

For Lowrance/Eagle and some Simrads you can create USR files to write to an MMC/SD card. The card can hold many

of these files for uploading at sea. You get a choice of versions 2, 3, 4 & 5. Version 2 does not handle depths, 2 and 3

do not handle colors, and version 5 (the newest) may not work in older units. V4 and V5 are intended for the HDS units

(I think). See the icon match-up in the Import Lowrance section.

To import a file to an HDS that you have exported from SeaMarks, press the Pages key and go to Waypoints, Routes,

and Trails page. Pick the Files sub page and then one of the data cards. Then pick the file you want to import from the

card. These files have 7 choices of colors and 70 choices of icons. Since this program only uses 36 icons, some of the

HDS icons, like deer tracks (that are not targeted to marine interests) result in no icon. As this program has 36 icons

1 2 ... 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 ... 129 130
