I think it would be ok since it now opens correctly in Homeport. However, I'm not sure how it will look when loaded to an actual unit. I was able to merge all the track segments into 1 track so it is no longer a track with segments. I converted that trail so that it opens correctly in Homeport. This trail(Fork) would open in Garmin's Homeport with all the extra track segments. My latest version(Humminbird) has the trail and some waypoints. With that version, I just created my own trail by connecting the waypoints. You're correct, I just remembered my 1st version(Lowrance) was actually waypoints only. Like Garmin units, USRv3 does not support track-segmentation and newest Boatlanes.ĪND FYI: Exporting to USRv3 with newer Boatlanes would not work correctly. This Boatlanes would have USR version 3 and a conversion to Garmin will most likely work. The very early Boatlanes with trails might work on Garmin units. The first Boatlanes were waypoints only, then Boatlanes used trails. Along with about 30+ more shorter trails. And also a boat-run from Hwy154 bridge along West-bank toward Long Branch. Newest release will have boat-runs deep into Ray and Dale. New release of Lake Fork Boatlanes was released in 2019. I have a list of all their symbols but I don't have a unit to do any testing. I can convert the symbols easily between Humminbird, Lowrance and Garmin but I have to decide which symbols I want to use for the Garmin units since their symbols are a little different. I just noticed on my oldest version, there are a lot of "Danger" areas marked on my older version that aren't marked on my newer version. I haven't been on Fork in years so I haven't noticed it before but one thing that was a little unusual has to do with the waypoints. Before I converted the track, Garmin's Homeport would open it with all the segments connected. It opens fine with Garmin's Homeport but I do not have a Garmin unit to actually test the file.

I I was able to use some software I have and easily convert the track into 1 track without the track segments. One is from 2014 and another a few years before that. I have a couple of the previous versions. I don't know when the latest version of the Boatlanes was released. You have to call Garmin and complain enough that Garmin fixes it. Lori Vick should have a Garmin Boatlanes for Fork already.īut understand this Garmin Boatlanes is the previous version, because the newest Fork Boatlanes release has over the 50 track maximum for Garmin units.Īgain, until Garmin fixes the track-segment bug in the Garmin unit software then track-segmentation will not work for Garmin.
