From what I have read the .wpt file format is not compatable with Lowrance, at least not the Ifinder H20 that I have. That is why I was trying to convert it. I have downloaded programs called GPS utility & GPSbabel, both are shareware and appear to be working correctly. They recognize the .wpt file and say they convert successfully, but then the file has no waypoints in it.

I was also considering buying the Map Create software but have not. I also found a free program called easyGPS. All I have to do is load the waypoints that I have saved on my Ifinder to the SD card. Then take the card out of the Ifinder and put it in my computers card reader. I can then manage & file the waypoints by lake, add other waypoints, and store them on my PC. When I am going to a particular lake all I have to do is load that file onto the SD card and put it in my Ifinder. The easyGPS dosen't have fancy maps, but helps me organize and store basic info. Let me know how you like the Map Create software!
