Lowrance HDS units have a different way of doing business. To export a file from the HDS, press the Pages key and go

to the Waypoints, Routes, and Trails page. Pick the Files sub page and then: Waypoints, Routes, and Trails. Select User

data file version 4 (or one of the others). Select the memory card you want to put the file on. Then either pick a name or

create a new name and export it from the GPS to the card. Version 4 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. Some others are used that don’t correspond to SeaMarks icons, but is the closest thing to

them.

Below is the graphic showing the V2, V3, and V4 icons used and a translation table. Some of these icons support colors

and other do not.

The numbers in the second column refer to the order shown in the graphic on the right and the numbers in the third

column refer to the order found in the SeaMarks spreadsheet in the drop down icon menu. Thus, the icon in the HDS

column will result in the icon in the SeMks column. Icons not used were left off these tables. Of course the choices are

a judgment call. Note that both of the tables starting at the Red Cross are identical. These tables work in both directions.

Exporting is the reverse of this procedure, but you get additional choices for how many to export. That's in case you

have more in the file than the GPS can handle. See the Export section below.

Lowrance also has an old program called GPS Data Manager (GDM6) that can handle many of the legacy machines and

the program can import and export the USR files it needs. If you have an older GPS that this routine will not work on,

Lowrance, has an obsolete program called WS-1 (PC interface kit) that can download and upload the older variety of

their GPS receivers. This import routine can read the WS-1 files and extract the waypoint information.

IMPORT LORAN LOCATOR

The program also imports The files of the obsolete and no longer available LORAN LOCATOR program in either the

(LX) version or the (AX) version. The old files will have one of the following types of names: LOCATION.DAT or:

LX50BOOK.DAT where the [DAT] may be replaced by 3 user specified characters. The field structure of LX and AX
