Good thing is, you can play around at home until you get it right, without having to go to the boat. I haven't updated my charts for nearly 2 years, TBH very little changes. My marks have defo disappeared from the plotter. 100%. And I'm unable to delete the maps off the app. I've been into settings, gone to delete all on the chart, pressed delete, nothing happens.

Unless you have done a plotter factory reset, the marks should still be there. I don't think there is any other way to bulk delete them. Firstly restart your phone /ipad (what are you using ?) to see if the chart delete works again. If not, then delete the app and reinstall. Once you log in, your chart subscription will show ok.

GPSguru Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 4 hours ago, Saintly Fish said: 13 hours ago, GPSguru said: My marks have defo disappeared from the plotter. 100%. I still use ‘Homeport’ on my PC. It is no longer supported by Garmin, but I think it is still available on their website. Obviously, it dose t support relief shading, but the standard raster charts work well on it. i use it to enter marks, which are then stored as an *.ADM file onto a SD card. To transfer them the the plotter ( or the other way around), I just plug the card into the plotter and use the ‘user data’ function to merge the waypoint data.

Just tap that and the shaded chart should appear. daio web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being funny, but another good plan would be to let Leo do it. Just explain what should happen and let him get on with it. Kids these days are good with tech, they don't think about it, they just do it. kyle is always finding stuff on the panoptix and sonar, also Josh the other evening cleaned up my PC for me and got the fancy fan software working like it should and he is only 14.

Just the standard fishing depth contour marks. If you got the relief shading option, then it loaded it ok. My be you didnt zoom in enough ? on your phone, go to the chart and then increase the zoom with you fingers to see it it switches to shading as you zoom in. On my phone the shading does not kick in until I zoom to 2nm as shown in the bottom left corner of the screen. Anything greater than 2nm and it only displays the raster chart, which is normal.

As an example, I exported mine from the Garmin, and imported the file into ‘bro in laws’ Lowrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your plotter, plug in a blank SD card, go to waypoints, then tap export waypoints, you will then be prompted to enter a file name, do that, tap continue and it will create a file on the SD card of your waypoints 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an sd card that @jonnyswampgave me, it's full of marks for the Solent. I will transfer those to a micro sd, then put them in the plotter that way. I just hope they are the correct format?

The Garmin will accept either an ADM or a GPX file, i.e. 'myfiles.adm' or 'myfiles.gpx' ADM files are pure Garmin but contain ALL the waypoint info, including any notes you might have made. GPX files are a GPS waypoint standard file format, and Garmin will accept the GPS info and the waypoint name. If the card has them in any other format, let me know and I might be able to convert it.
