Transferring user data from HomPort to a GPSMAP 74xx/76xx series

HomePort is a program that allows for the creation and editing of user data like waypoints, routes, and tracks. This user data can then be transferred to a Garmin marine device. To transfer this information, please read the following instructions:

An SD card will be required to transfer the data to a GPSMAP 74xx/76xx series device. It is not necessary, but recommended, to format the SD card in the Garmin device before proceeding. To do this:

1. Insert the SD card into the device while the device is powered OFF
2. Power ON the chartplotter
3. When the I Agree screen appears, the card has been prepared and can be removed from the device

To transfer the information:

1. Insert the SD card into the computer
2. Open the HomePort program
3. The user data should appear on the left side of the program in the My Collection folder or any other folder that may have been created
4. Right-click on the user data (either individual data or folder that contains the data) and choose Send To
5. Choose the SD card that should be labeled as the device (if the card was formatted previously)
6. Choose Untitled (or any other folder that may have been created on the card)

The user data will now be transferred to the SD card. To copy the user data from the SD card to the internal memory of the device, please follow these instructions with the device powered ON:

1. Insert the SD card into the device
2. Choose Manage Card
3. Choose either Merge From Card or Replace From Card
   • Merge From Card will copy the user data from the card and add it to the existing user data that is already saved in the device
   • Replace From Card will copy the user data from the SD card and replace the existing user data that is already saved in the device
4. Choose Untitled (or the name of the folder that the data was sent to when using HomePort)

The information will now be visible on the device and can be used at any time.
