Clicking once on that particular track point got Homeport to put that orange circle mark on the chart spot, clicking twice zoomed into the tragic image below. Methinks it was all that navigational focus at speed that largely accounts for what went wrong at track point #1,867, when Anon was within sight of the launch ramp and running a little bit further up river to burn the gas out his outboard. So Anon drove some 64 nm of complex river (the skinny Sasanoa is famous for its whirlpools!), and his Garmin tracked every bit of it in some detail, as you can see in the bottom middle window. Clicking on Active Log #16 would show the 25 nm he’d run down river before lunching in Bath. At any rate, I’ve clicked on Anon’s last automatically made Active Log (track) and Homeport has zoomed out to show part of a neat trip he took down and back up the Kennebec and Sasanoa Rivers from the launch ramp in Hallowell. Note that I’ve also opened the 5212 base map from the SD card you can see under Devices (I also have the Vision SD card in the PC, and can switch to that added cartography detail if desired). Thus all the data in the lower left window is his. At upper left on the screen you can see that I’ve opened the user file that we downloaded off his Garmin and that I imported into my Homeport Library. We’ll call him Anon so the Google won’t forever pin this very uncharacteristic mistake to his real name. Click to enlarge the screen above and I’ll explain after the break… But today’s look at some deeper Homeport features gets the benefit of a friend’s embarrassing navigation error. I stowed away some memorable tracks, quickly cleaned up some extraneous waypoints (careful with that track-to-route feature), polished some favorite routes, and then overwrote the user data on the 5212 with a much more useful set.

I was able to easily copy the 5212’s embedded charts - plus the mess of tracks, routes, and waypoints I put on it last season - and then review/manage all on my home computer.

Thanks for that I appreciate the effort you have gone to to help us electronic numphtys.I can’t imagine why anyone with a Garmin plotter, a Windows PC, and a bit of ability to use both wouldn’t find Garmin Homeport more than worth the $30 charge.

This is only for Mac and has worked for me. OK so i thought it best to do a quick write up in case others fall into the same trap because I think it's pretty important that if you are taking the time to plan trips and actively manage your marks then you have to be looking at the more accurate G2 chart not the built in world map that had no detail at all.
