Lowrance | Waypoint Basics

Waypoints, Routes and Trails are critical functions to navigating waterways with your Lowrance unit. Waypoints are simply GPS coordinates saved on your chart, but they have many more uses. Watch as Jacob Scott guides you through basic waypoint creation and management, as well as routes and trails.

It would be really nice to see these types of videos using the smaller units that don’t have the quick buttons.

Hey, I just need some help here . I have baught a Elite ti2, and just wondering what the different files that is created on my card means.
The files is Genesis live (date).GSD and sonar (date).smf Is it waypoints and routes? Can i delete them from my card and store them on the unit in that case?

[JimWellman]

Any way to increase the size of these infinitesimally small waypoint icons?

[bthompson]

I will do just that ans subscribe. I am so excited to use my new HDS 7live on my 18ft pontoon this coming saturday night. I will take all the info i can about these units :) great videos

[arttyart]

Hi I have elite9 Ti gps position not correct do you know how to fix that. Thank you

[NeverDunnFishing]

Are you able to mark waypoints while looking at side scan on an elite ti2 like shown in this video?

[rodneyhanbaum]

Can you make casting rings around the way point so you know how far from the way point to stop? Is this feature the same I available on the Elite TI 2, 9 sonar unit?

[chaff]

Hi is there any way to ad a down scan or sonar screen shot image to your way point information, would be great to be able to see they structure you have marked before heading to the waypoint

[neilrippey]

I have way points saved on my Elite 7ti but they aren't showing up on the map. They used to display. What do I do to get them to display again?

[kentereau]

Can I program my settings while in simulator mode? I was wondering if the settings would hold.

[golfish]

Can I lower the boat icon to the bottom of the mage so I can see more of what is coming?

[yuriipetrash]

Can I return deleted waypoints from the deleted waypoints folder?

[cherylgalate]

I would like to know how to import waypoints from a Sd Card to my lowrance hook9

[mali]

I was wondering how, or if it’s possible, to place a range ring on a waypoint, say 50’ or so? I am running a elite 9 ti2 and am not sure how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

[TonyGruber]

Thank you for the great video! Is there a way to save waypoints so that they show back up on side imaging when you go back to spots that you have marked previously, or do they only show up in map view?

[dgp]

The HDS Live came with a 3-1 transducer. I already have a 3d bundle with a 3D transducer on the transom.
Should I eliminate the 3D module (sonic hub) and replace the transducer with the 3-1 if it is a better trensducer?
I never use the 3D if that means anything.

[FishinOnaMission]

I have the elite fs i cant seem to figure out how to touch to make a waypoint. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

[rayanfarhat]

Hey,
