CUSTOMIZING WAYPOINTS ON THE HUMMINBIRD XPLORE
With XPLORE, marking a waypoint is as simple as touching the screen. This intuitive system allows anglers to assign custom labels to waypoints, whether they mark rocks, brush piles, or grass beds. Users can also change waypoint colors for quick identification and utilize the favorites menu to organize locations by fish species, structure, or navigation hazards.
Lowen highlights how these customization options help anglers streamline their mapping, making navigation faster and more efficient. Instead of searching through generic waypoints, XPLORE provides a way to categorize them visually, saving time and reducing confusion when moving between fishing spots.
HOW TO DELETE UNUSED WAYPOINTS WITH DRAW TO SELECT
A cluttered GPS screen can slow anglers down, especially during a tournament. The Draw to Select feature makes it easy to remove unnecessary waypoints in seconds. Users can outline waypoints they no longer need by opening the tool, tapping the trash icon, and instantly decluttering their screen.
Lowen explains how this feature allows him to eliminate distractions and focus on high-percentage fishing spots. With 1,276 waypoints already saved in his unit, keeping only the most relevant ones ensures he isn’t wasting time navigating to unproductive locations. Instead of manually searching for key waypoints, he can quickly refine his map to highlight only the spots that matter.
WHY WAYPOINT MANAGEMENT MATTERS
Every second is important, whether you’re fun fishing or competitive fishing. The Humminbird XPLORE system gives anglers the ability to improve efficiency, reduce time spent on unproductive waypoints, and easily customize and organize locations.
