14. Lowrance does not support garmin typesets for certain poi on the map and you will now see "?" on the map where this occurs. Note: You can use the magnifying glass icon to zoom in and out on the map.

16. Go to Edit -> Select -> By Type

21. The lowrance files will export to the directory where the garmin image was saved in step 1.

22. A Status bar comes up in the bottom left hand corner during the export process. When this stops you are ready to copy to your SD Card

23. Go to the directory where the files were exported and highligh all the LCM files (hold control key down while selecting) and right click and send to to your SD Card.

Trimming the map

Trimming the map allows for a smaller file to be created.

1. Select the trim icon on the menu bar

2. Draw a square around the area you would like to keep, right click on mouse and click on trim outside

3. You will be left with everything inside the square

You can then export the map to lowrance
