Give me a minute, it takes forever to load!

Go to GPS at the top and open the Waypoints Library (Ctrl+W)
Click "Export Waypoints" button
Choose the location of the file. It's best to save it directly to an SD card so that you can take that to your GPS.
Under the "Save As Type" dropdown menu change it Lowrance Files
Name the file and click Save
Now the Data Exchange window opens
Click the waypoints on the left that you want to transfer and then the ">" arrow to add them to your new file.
When you are done click "Save"

I think there is a way to transfer them with a special serial cable, but I don't know how to do it. If you need help loading them into your Lowrance let me know.
