Below is a video I made transferring waypoints from Google Earth to my Lowrance Elite 5 DSI fish finder.
Best viewed in FULL SCREEN, highest resolution possible.
I find it interesting I can go underwater on Google Earth, mark a spot, then put that exact spot on my fish finder.
It is a real time saver being able to go to an exact pinnacle without ever having been there before.
It was my first time doing a screen recording. The transfer isn't quite as clear as what I was working with but it should help anyone wanting to know how to do this....I hope.
If you have any questions just holla.
I can then direct you to Wingshooter.   :smt044 :smt044

Thanks for the tutorial, not sure it will help me, but I can attest to the method.

Cen Coast put up a sea floor mapping addin link for google earth a few years ago, from there I wrote down about 6-8 spots (reefs and pinnacles) and entered the coordinates in my FF by hand.  It was allot of work,

I caught fish at every one of those points. They're still in my FF.
