Transferring waypoints into Garmin

[plawren53202]

So in advance please forgive what is probably an idiot level question. I am a newcomer to on-boat electronics and not very proficient with electronics in any other sense (my wife and kids, all Apple devotees, constantly laugh at me for my Cricket/Motorola cheapy cell phone ?)

 

My dad recently bought a boat equipped with a Garmin 73sv. I have the Navionics app loaded on my phone, with lots of spots marked for the lake we fish in his boat. Is there any way to transfer these into the Navionics map in his Garmin? I tried looking through the manual but it was like reading Russian to me. I'd love to take the map homework I do at home and be able to plug that directly into the unit on the boat.

 

Thanks!

I am not sure how you get the waypoints off your phone but if you can get them to your computer you should be able to convert them to a gpx file ( https://www.gpsbabel.org/) if they are not in a gpx file already, put the gpx file on an SD card and load them on the Garmin. (User Data -> Data Transfer -> File Type -> GPX)
