Clicking on Active Log #16 would show the 25 nm he’d run down river before lunching in Bath. At any rate, I’ve clicked on Anon’s last automatically made Active Log (track) and Homeport has zoomed out to show part of a neat trip he took down and back up the Kennebec and Sasanoa Rivers from the launch ramp in Hallowell. Note that I’ve also opened the 5212 base map from the SD card you can see under Devices (I also have the Vision SD card in the PC, and can switch to that added cartography detail if desired). Thus all the data in the lower left window is his. At upper left on the screen you can see that I’ve opened the user file that we downloaded off his Garmin and that I imported into my Homeport Library. We’ll call him Anon so the Google won’t forever pin this very uncharacteristic mistake to his real name. Click to enlarge the screen above and I’ll explain after the break… But today’s look at some deeper Homeport features gets the benefit of a friend’s embarrassing navigation error. I stowed away some memorable tracks, quickly cleaned up some extraneous waypoints (careful with that track-to-route feature), polished some favorite routes, and then overwrote the user data on the 5212 with a much more useful set.

I was able to easily copy the 5212’s embedded charts - plus the mess of tracks, routes, and waypoints I put on it last season - and then review/manage all on my home computer.

***PLEASE NOTE *** Garmin has discontinued Homeport and recommends Active Captain (see instructions below), which does not work on a PC or Mac.

If you haven't already installed Garmin Homeport, please do this now. If your Garmin does not have this functionality, please follow these instructions for importing our fishing spots into your unit. For example you will need a Garmin folder with a GPX folder within it, and you would add the GPX file to the GPX folder. Some units require the files to be in a Garmin folder on your SD card. For some units, you can simply add the files to the SD card (GPX), allow your unit to boot up, and then stick the card into the unit and it will prompt you to import the data. Importing our fishing maps into your Garmin GPS unit is easy.
