Can I download waysites from Google Earth to Humminbird PC?

[raporter]

I am trying to put the coordinates for fish attractors on the KY site for Lake Barkley on my Humminbird PC. I can get them to Google Earth but cannot download them to my PC or an SD card. Not real sharp on these things but if I try to type them in I run into this, Google earth has Latitude as N and longitude as W while Humminbird is Latitude N but Longitude is East.

Something is wrong, wrong, wrong. If you are in Indiana then it should be W. E would put you in the middle of the Gobi Desert. Not to many crappie there.

The default for HBPC is N and E ...

Change the E to W when you enter your coordinates into HBPC ...

Also HBPC recognizes Longitude as Wxxx°xx.xxx' (Degrees, Decimal Minutes) ... But notice there are 3 characters in the degrees ...

If your coordinates only show 2 characters in the degrees ... Add a "0" as the first character ...

Example if your coordinates say W88°16.125' ... Enter into HBPC as W088°16.125'

If your coordinates in Google Earth are not in Degrees, Decimal Minutes ...:

*Click Tools in the top left of Google Earth ...
*Choose Options ...
*Show Lat/Lon and select Degrees, Decimal Minutes ...
*Click "Apply" at the bottom ...
*Click OK ...

Thank you Rickie. I now have the coordinates in my HumminbirdPC now I just need to figure out how to get them on the SD card and into my locator.

After some effort I now have the waypoints on my locator. I could not have done this without your help, thanks again.
