GPX files to USR files

I am trying to download a list of GPS locations from:

http://www.floridagofishing.com/shop...products_id=44


The issue is I am transfering them to my father in laws lowrance hds9-gen2 touch, which uses .USR files. Anyone out there have a simple explanation or program to do this?

Re: GPX files to USR files

Try GPS Babel. I have an HDS 8 Gen 2 and sometimes the conversion doesn't always go through. As I recall there are a few .USR formats; Lowrance USR & Lowrance USR version 4. Try them both. Also to be sure you have good data to start with, you can convert to something neutral like Google Earth (or even comma separated variables) to double check the waypoints.

If you want to send me the GPX file I'll convert and email it back to you if you want.
