    I have 3 chips I use at different times and/or in different units. Is there a way I can get all my waypoints onto each chip or move them all onto one chip?

    Waypoints aren’t saved to the chip. They are saved in the

    memory of the GPS and overlayed onto your chip info.

    All your waypoints will show on all of your chips.

    really, I always thought the different….

    So is there a way to combine the units information together?

    You can export waypoint info to an SD card and import them

    into the hard drive of your other unit(s).

    Are you talking a Lake Master / Navionics chip, or blank SD cards that you’ve exported waypoints to?
    As Dandorn mentioned, your waypoints are not on a Lake Master or Navionics chip, they’re just overlayed when using that mapping card.
    Make sense?

    Always export to a blank SD card. Attempting to save data to a map chip from Lakemaster or Navionics can damage the mapping data.

    And to make sure that never happens,slide the lock unlock tab on the map card to lock then no writing to the map card should happen.
