Chesapeake fishing hot spots

 

I would like to start a POI or have someone point me to a place to get Chesapeake fishing hot spots that I can load into my Garmin.

Can you use the Garmin POI for their Chart plotter? I just purchased a new 441S unit. It would be nice to load it with fishign hot spots in the Maryland area.

I found a site that listed a ton of GPS sites for fishing on the

Chesapeake bay. Now how do I create a POI file for them?

The Garmin 441/441S models do not support Custom POIs.

You will have to save them as Waypoints. The unit will store 3,000 Waypoints/favorites/locations. However, it does not appear that the unit has the capability of connecting to a computer directly.

You can try putting the files on the SD card in the garmin/GPX folder and see if you can import them that way. According to the manual, it looks like this is possible. (See page 45 of the User Manual.) You will probably HAVE to use GPX files. CSV files probably won't work.

Otherwise, you will can input the data manually on the device.
