If I’m switching from a different brand over to Simrad®, is it possible to export all my saved waypoints and transfer them onto a Simrad® device?
Yes, there is an easy solution for this – not to worry about transferring/loosing waypoints between different devices. Waypoints can easily be saved as a universal GPX file format which is a common file format for most all chartplotters. With just a few easy steps you can export and import saved waypoints for almost any other device.
