Humminbird Helix Won't Save Waypoints

[iceintheveins]

My helix will no longer save waypoints. As soon as I turn the unit off they are gone. Tried a restore default settings, erasing all existing tracks and waypoints, and even turned snapshot off. Wth is going on? Could I buy a sd card and save the waypoints onto that?

I'm not a Helix user but I'm guessing that your built in memory is full.  You should be able to save everything to a SD card then delete all your stored navigation data (waypoints, tracks,  maps, etc)

I already erased all tracks and maps and waypoints. So something must be wrong with the internal memory. Could I just put an sd card in and use that to store my waypoints and access them on the same unit?

If the internal memory is shot, there is a chance a card won't work depending on how the unit is designed. However for the price of a SD card (around $10 if even) I would definitely give it a shot.
