Just in case your favorite fishing locations are in Google Earth and you would like to import/merge them into your user data on your fish finder.

Get the the associated "file".kmz file, go to www.gpsvisualizer.com, selected convert to GPX.

At Upload your files here, browse to "file".kmz and then selected Convert.

A new page opens, and under GPS Visualizer output is the new GPX file.

Download this file and import to Active Captain. You can verify the locations on Active Captain Charts and in user data under way points.

Sync Active Captain to your Garmin fish finder and your set.
